MIDI Effects
MIDI Echo
182
The effect does not echo the actual audio, but the MIDI notes which eventually
produce the sound in the synthesizer.
Velocity Offset
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).
Pitch Offset
If you set this to a value other than 0, the 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
The number of echoes (1 to 12) of each incoming note.
Beat Align
During playback, this parameter quantizes the position of the first echo note.
You can either set this to rhythmically exact values 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.
NOTE
The echo time can also be affected by the Delay Decay parameter.
NOTE
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 according to this value. You can either set this
to rhythmically exact values or activate the PPQ button and choose a PPQ
value. This makes it easy to find rhythmically relevant delay values, but still
allows for experimental settings in between.
Delay Decay
Adjusts how the echo time changes with each successive repeat. The value
is set as a percentage.
• If this is set to 100 % the echo time is the same for all repeats.
• 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.
