KontinuumDelay
Kontinuum shapes delay into a living texture. Filter the repeats from clean and digital to warm and analog, switch divisions on the fly for seamless rhythmic changes, and add a touch of tape flutter, or none at all. Synced over MIDI, it locks to your band.
Switch 1 · Tempo division

Kontinuum is one of seven dynamic effects from Keystone Musical Instruments, an American company based in Bensalem, PA. Every Keystone pedal shares the same small enclosure, MIDI control, APEX expression and free firmware updates, so they work together on one board. Its LED glows dark green, its signature color.
