THE ECHO554
Introduction
The Echo is an advanced stereo in/out echo and delay device with a multitude of parameters for tweaking the color
and shape of the echo effect - diffusion, filtering, distortion and more. In addition to the normal mode where The Echo
behaves like a regular send or insert effect, there are two additional modes called Triggered and Roll which let you
automate momentary echo effects as well as create interesting stutter and repeat effects on the fly. The Echo also
features breakout jacks which allow you to insert any number of other effect units into the feedback loop - this opens
up endless possibilities for creative sculpting of the echo repeats.
! Please, note that this device is not available in Reason Intro Rack Plugin.
About the Patch format
The Echo features programmable effect presets. Included are a number of Factory Patches which can be used as-is
or provide you with a good starting point for further tweaking. The Patches use the file extension "*.echo". Loading
and saving Patches is done in the same way as for instrument devices.
Parameters
The Echo is comprised of six main sections; Mode (Normal, Triggered and Roll), Delay (time, tempo sync and stereo
behavior parameters), Feedback (including a Diffusion subsection), Color (Drive and resonant Filter), Modulation (En-
velope, Wobble and LFO) and Output (Dry/Wet control and Ducking).
Common effect device parameters
While the parameters specific to The Echo are described in detail below, some features and procedures are common
to all effect devices. Please refer to “Common effect device features” for further info about the Bypass On/Off
switch. It should however be noted that the Input Meter on The Echo differs from the standard 7-segment LED meter
found on other effect devices in Reason; The Echo features a 3-segment meter with the usual green, yellow and red
LED (the latter indicates clipping).
