A virtual tape echo that produces a realistic tape delay sound. This
simulates the tape echo section of a Roland RE-201 Space Echo.
fig.MFX-55
In addition to a lo-fi effect, this adds various types of noise such as
white noise and disc noise.
fig.MFX-56
This is an effect that intentionally degrades the sound quality for
creative purposes.

55: TAPE ECHO
Parameter Value Description
Mode
S, M, L, S+M,
S+L, M+L,
S+M+L
Combination of playback heads to use
Select from three different heads with dif-
ferent delay times.
S: short, M: middle, L: long
Repeat Rate 0–127
Tape speed
Increasing this value will shorten the spac-
ing of the delayed sounds.
Intensity 0–127 Amount of delay repeats
Bass -15– +15 dB
Boost/cut for the lower range of the echo sound
Treble -15– +15 dB
Boost/cut for the upper range of the echo sound
Head S Pan
L64–63R
Independent panning for the short, middle,
and long playback heads
Head M Pan
Head L Pan
Tape Distortion 0–5
Amount of tape-dependent distortion to be
added
This simulates the slight tonal changes
that can be detected by signal-analysis
equipment. Increasing this value will in-
crease the distortion.
Wow/Flutter
Rate
0–127
Speed of wow/flutter (complex variation in
pitch caused by tape wear and rotational ir-
regularity)
Wow/Flutter
Depth
0–127 Depth of wow/flutter
Echo Level 0–127 Volume of the echo sound
Direct Level 0–127 Volume of the original sound
Level 0–127 Output level
