Rhythmic Echo and Delay Effects

(P1 0.0 – P1 3.6) cont'd.

1.6 LatchedEkos ADJUST: EchoWidth 1–99

The inputs and outputs of stereo delays are gated on and off by two rhythmic switches. The Latch is used to trigger the AR envelope, which in turn alternates the left and right delay outputs. ADJUST controls how long the inputs to the delays remain open over a period of four beats.

1.7 X-PanEQ BPMADJUST: Low Tone 0-60

This effect cross-pans the inputs between independent left and right band pass filters and adds some bright, highly diffused reverb. The pan rate is tempo controlled. ADJUST controls the low frequency limits of both bands.

1.8 Pan->Eko BPMADJUST: DarkKnob 0–127

This effect pans the inputs across the stereo inputs of a reverb and independent left and right delays, each with slightly different EQ. The pan rate is tempo controlled. ADJUST controls the high frequency limits of both bands.

1.9 Tempo VerbADJUST: Liveness 0–40

In this tempo-based reverb effect, decay changes in tempo. Slow tempos yield longer reverb time; fast tempos result in shorter decay. Set tempo with two presses of Tap, or with MIDI.

2.0 Tempo GateADJUST: High Cut 0-50

This heavily gated reverb effect has duration set by tempo. Tap in two quarter-notes to set the gate duration.

2.1 Tape EchoADJUST: DarkKnob 0–127

This preset simulates a stereo tape echo. The echo rate is tempo controlled. Press Tap to synchronize with rhythmic material. ADJUST controls high frequency damping – the echoes get darker as they repeat. The Soft Row includes parameters for adding and reverb as well additional controls for the delays and filters.

2.2 NonLinear 1ADJUST: EchoSlope 0–127

This effect produces echoes with non linear decay. ADJUST controls the decay slope. 0 = loud to soft (normal echoes), 64 = six repeats of equal loudness, 127 = soft to loud (reversed echoes). In this preset the slope is set to produce a simple reversed echo effect. The repeat rate is tempo controlled. The Soft Row contains parameters for controlling the stereo image, adding reverb, scaling the repeat rate, and more.

2.3 NonLinear 2ADJUST: EchoSlope 0–127

Similar to NonLinear 1, with some additional processing. Chorus and reverb have been added, and the delays bounce from side to side as they repeat. In this preset the slope is set to 64 to produce repeats of equal loudness. The Soft Row includes parameters for controlling the stereo image, chorus depth and rate, etc.

2.4 NonLinear 3ADJUST: EchoSlope 0–127

This is a variation of		NonLinear 2 with more radical processing and an inverted slope.
2.5	Six Across	ADJUST: Spacing	0-100

This multi-tap delay effect filters each voice to a specific bandbass with each tap positioned succesively across the panoramic spectrum. ADJUST controls the overall spacing between the voices.

2.6 BandEko RvbADJUST: Center Fc 0–127

In this preset, the outputs of a stereo band pass filter are sent to left and right rhythmic delays. These delays are in the reverb diffusor loop. The effect produces diffuse, highly colored echoes and reverb. Use ADJUST to set the center frequency of the band pass filter.
