CONTROLS EXPLAINED  

The Counter Point offers 4 major delay modes, each accessible by sequentially toggling through 

using the MODE toggle switch. The modes can be identified by the color of the right hand side 

TAP/MOD LED. The following table briefly summarizes each mode and the purpose and 

function of user controls when in that mode. The modes will be discussed in further detail later in 

this section.
