Knobs
| Control | MIDI CC | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TIME | CC 12 | Delay time from 50ms to 1 second — the virtual equivalent of sliding the record head closer to or farther from the playback head |
| MIX | CC 16 | Balance of dry and wet signals — 100% dry at minimum, 50/50 at 3 o'clock, 100% wet at maximum |
| TAPE AGE | CC 13 | Controls the bandwidth of the tape — minimum for fresh full-bandwidth tape, higher values reduce high frequencies like worn tape |
| REPEATS | CC 14 | Number of delay repeats from one to runaway saturated oscillation — 3 o'clock for sustained infinite repeats without runaway |
| MECHANICS | CC 15 | Amount of mechanical speed fluctuations and media irregularities — minimum for clean, maximum for worn and wobbly |

Special MIDI Functions
- Expression — CC 100
- Infinite Repeat — CC 97. Holds repeats in an infinite loop — send 127 to hold (engage infinite), 0 to release
- MIDI Expression — CC 60. Enables or disables MIDI expression control. When on, the expression pedal CC (100) is active for real-time parameter sweeping.
- MIDI Clock Sync — CC 63. Enables or disables MIDI clock sync. When on, EC-1 locks delay time to incoming MIDI clock tempo.
- Preamp Boost — CC 19. Adjusts the boost level applied to the Modded or Original Tube Preamp (when enabled via Preamp Select), from 0dB (unity gain) to +6dB
- Footswitch — CC 27. Simulates a footswitch press — sends 127 on press and 0 on release. Use to remotely toggle bypass or enter tap tempo mode from a MIDI controller.
