Delay 085: Tape Echo
835
085: Tape Echo
This effect simulates a tape echo unit with three
playback heads. The distortion and tonal change
typical of magnetic tape are also reproduced.
INPUT
Trim [0…100]
Sets the input gain.
Pre Tone [0…100]
This models the reduced high frequencies of an analog
tape delay, before the saturation stage. Lower settings
create a darker tone.
WOW & FLUTTER
This section models the instability of the tape
machine’s motors. As the speed of the motor
fluctuates, the pitch changes slightly.
Frequency [Hz] [0.02…1.00]
Sets the frequency at which pitch variation occurs.
Depth [0…100]
Sets the depth of the pitch change.
TAPE ECHO
Delay Time
Delay Time(Tap1) [msec] [0…2700]
This parameter sets the delay time of Tap 1.
Also, Taps 2 and 3 are specified as a percentage (%) of
this delay time. Taps 2 and 3 always stay in proportion
to Tap 1, even when the delay time is modulated.
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects the modulation source for the delay time.
Amount [–2700…] +2700
Sets the modulation amount for the delay time.
Tap2 Position [%] [0…100]
Sets the delay time of Tap 2, as a percentage of Tap 1’s
delay time.
Tap3 Position [%] [0…100]
Sets the delay time of Tap 3, as a percentage of Tap 1’s
delay time.
Level and Pan 1…3
Each tap has its own controls for level and pan.
Tap1…3 Level [0…100]
Sets the tap’s output level.
Pan [L, 1…99, R]
Sets the tap’s stereo position.
Feedback
Tap1…3 Feedback Amount [+/–100]
Sets the individual tap’s feedback level. Negative
values invert the phase. These individual levels are
summed together, and then the final level is controlled
by Feedback Level, below.
Feedback Level [0…100]
Sets the overall level of feedback.
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects the modulation source for the Feedback Level.
Amount [+/–100]
Sets the modulation amount for the Feedback Level.
Tone
High Damp [%] [0…100]
This cuts the high frequencies in both the main output
and the feedback. Higher settings create a darker tone.
Low Damp [%] [0…100]
This cuts the low frequencies in both the main output
and the feedback. Higher settings mean less low-end.
Saturation [0…100]
This models the distortion of an analog tape delay.
OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with
modulatable control over wet/dry balance. For more
information, see “OUTPUT” on page 764.
