Manual: Echo Plugin

Echo plugin window

The Echo plugin creates delayed repetitions of the input signal, ranging from subtle slap-back delays to long stereo echoes. While echos can traditionally be achieved in modules by inserting delayed and attenuated copies of pattern notes, the Echo plugin offers more flexible control over the resulting echo, and avoids having to update echo pattern data any time the original notes are modified, at the expense of not being synchronized to the module’s tempo.

Parameters

Wet / Dry Mix

• Controls the balance between the original (dry) signal and the delayed (wet) echo. At 0% wet, only the original signal is heard. At 100% wet, only the echo is audible. Intermediate values blend the original and echo signals together.
• Range: 0% wet / 100% dry to 100% wet / 0% dry

Feedback

• Determines how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay line to create multiple repetitions. Higher feedback values produce longer echo tails with more repetitions, while lower values create fewer repetitions. Note that the higher the feedback value, the quieter the initial echo will be.
• Range: 0% to 100%

Left Delay

• This controls the timing between the original signal and its echo in the left channel.
• Range: 1ms to 2,000ms

Right Delay

• Sets the delay time for the right channel. When different from the left delay time, this creates a stereo effect where echoes appear to bounce between the left and right channels. Setting both channels to the same delay time creates a centered echo effect instead.
• Range: 1ms to 2,000ms

Pan Delay

• When set to Yes, the echo bounces between the left and right channels, creating a ping-pong echo effect. When set to No, the left and right channel are not mixed.
• Options: No, Yes
