THE ECHO556
The key thing here is that you shouldn't set the slider to a value in between - it should go from 0 to full Roll and back.
So why do we use a slider and not a switch? Well, things start happening during the slider throw (and actually a bit af-
ter you've moved the slider fully to the right).
The slider allows for some sloppiness, making it easier to catch a beat and roll it fully. The result is slightly different
depending on how fast you move the Roll slider - in most situations it works best to move it pretty fast and hit Roll ex-
actly on the beat.
q Although you will probably most often set The Echo to full Wet when Rolling, it might make sense to have a lit-
tle bit of dry signal leaking through during the roll (making it easier to keep time and return from the roll ex-
actly on the beat). Then you just set Dry/Wet balance to something like 85% Wet, see “Dry/Wet”.
q See “Using the Roll function” for an example of how to use the Roll function.
The Delay section
The Delay section features parameters relating to delay time, tempo sync and stereo behavior.
Time
This knob controls the delay time. The delay time range is 1 to 1000 milliseconds. When Sync is enabled, the range
is 1/128 notes up to ½ note.
Offset R
This unipolar knob controls the Right channel delay time offset. The higher the Offset R value, the more the Right
channel will be delayed in relation to the Left channel - perfect for creating stereo delay effects!
The Offset range is 1 to 1000 milliseconds. When Sync is enabled, the Offset range is “no offset” up to ½ note (ac-
cording to the same resolution table as for the Time parameter). However, the 1/128 notes offset value is replaced
by “no offset”.
Keep Pitch
When you manually change the Delay time during recording or playback, you will notice that the pitch of the delay
signal also changes. If this effect is undesirable, you can enable Keep Pitch, which will ensure that the pitch remains
fixed regardless of changes in Delay time.
Sync
This button enables Tempo Sync, which affects the Time and Offset R parameter.
