MIDI effects 2 – 29
MIDIEcho
This is an advanced MIDI Echo, which will generate additional echo-
ing notes based on the MIDI notes it receives. It creates effects similar
to a digital delay, but also features MIDI pitch shifting and much more.
As always it is important to remember that the effect doesn’t “echo”
the actual audio, but the MIDI notes which will eventually produce the
sound in the synthesizer.
The following parameters are available:
Quantize
The echoed notes will be moved in position to a quantizing grid, as set
up with this parameter. You can either use the slider or type to set the
value in ticks (1/480 ticks of quarter notes) or click the arrow buttons
to step between the “rhythmically exact” values (displayed as note val-
ues – see the table below). This makes it easy to find rhythmically rele-
vant quantize values, but still allows experimental settings in between.
An example: setting this to “16th” will force all echo notes to be played
on exact 16th note positions, regardless of the timing of the original
notes and the Echo-Quant. setting.
• To disable quantizing, set this parameter to its lowest value (1).
Length
This sets the length of the echoed notes. This can either be the same
as their original notes (parameter set to its lowest value, “Source”) or
the length you specify manually. You can either set the length in ticks
or click the arrow buttons to step between the “rhythmically exact”
lengths (displayed as note values – see the table below).
• The length can also be affected by the Length Decay parameter.
