Repeat
This is the number of echoes (1 to 12) from each incoming note.
Echo-Quant.
The Echo-Quant. parameter sets the delay time, i.e. the time between
a played note and its first echo note. 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” delay times
(displayed as note values – see the table below).
For example, setting this to “8th” will cause the echo notes to sound
an eighth note after their original notes.
• The echo time can also be affected by the Echo Decay parameter.
Velocity Decay
This parameter allows you to add or subtract to the velocity values for
each repeat so that the echo fades away or increases in volume (pro-
vided that the sound you use is velocity sensitive). For no change of
velocity, set this to 0 (middle position).
Echo 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 will be the same for all
repeats (as set with the Echo-Quant. parameter).
• If you raise the value above 100, the echoing notes will play with gradually
longer intervals (i.e. the echo will become slower).
• If you lower the value below 100, the echoing notes will become gradually
faster, like the sound of a bouncing ball.
Pitch Decay
If you set this to a value other than 0, the repeating (echoing) notes
will be 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 will cause 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.
