MIDI Effects
MIDI Echo
The following parameters are available:
Velocity Offset
This parameter allows you to raise or lower the velocity values for each repeat so that
the echo fades away or increases in volume (provided that the sound you use is
velocity sensitive). For no change of velocity, set this to 0 (middle position).
Pitch Offset
If you set this to a value other than 0, the repeating (echoing) notes are raised or
lowered in pitch, so that each successive note has a higher or lower pitch than the
previous. The value is set in semitones.
For example, setting this to -2 causes the first echo note to have a pitch two
semitones lower than the original note, the second echo note two semitones lower
than the first echo note, and so on.
Repeats
This is the number of echoes (1 to 12) from each incoming note.
Beat Align
During playback, the Beat Align parameter quantizes the position of the first echo
note. You can either set this to rhythmically exact values (displayed as note values –
see the table below) or activate the PPQ button and choose a PPQ value.
Setting this to 1/8, for example, causes the first echo note to sound on the first eighth
position after the original note.
Ö The echo time can also be affected by the Delay Decay parameter.
Ö During live mode, this parameter has no effect since the first echo is always played
together with the note event itself.
Delay
The echoed notes are repeated as set up with this parameter. You can either set this
to rhythmically exact values (displayed as note values – see the table below) or
activate the PPQ button and choose a PPQ value. This makes it easy to find
rhythmically relevant delay values, but still allows experimental settings in between.
Delay Decay
This parameter lets you adjust how the echo time should be changed with each
successive repeat. The value is set as a percentage.
- When set to 100 % (middle position) the echo time is the same for all repeats (as
set with the Delay parameter).
- If you raise the value above 100 %, the echoing notes play with gradually longer
intervals, that is, the echo becomes slower.
- If you lower the value below 100 %, the echoing notes become gradually faster,
like the sound of a bouncing ball.
Length
This sets the length of the echoed notes. This can either be identical with the length of
the original notes (parameter set to its lowest value) or the length you specify
manually. You can either set this to rhythmically exact values (displayed as note values –
see the table below) or activate the PPQ button and choose a PPQ value.
Ö The length can also be affected by the Length Decay parameter.
