THE ECHOBOY CONTROL PANEL - SINGLE ECHO MODE TWEAK MENU
Echoboy — Version 5
Single Echo Mode’s slide-out Tweak Menu adds three additional
parameters to control: Width, L/R Offset, and Accent. All three of these
options can very very helpful in fine-tuning your echo effects in relation
to the source material.

The Width parameter controls the stereo spread of EchoBoy’s output.
When set to its minimum value (or off), the delay time for the left and
right channel is exactly the same and the delay will appear panned
center in the stereo field. As the Width control is turned up, the stereo
image will get wider and wider. As this width control is turned past the
3 o’clock position, “out of phase” information is used that can move the
delay signal outside the speakers in a pseudo-super-stereo spread.
The stereo effect created by EchoBoy is a function of the L/R Offset
WIDTH
parameter described below, and the Diffusion and Wobble parameters,
which can be found on the Style Edit page. Suffice it to say that differ-
ent Echo Styles will have different flavors of stereo imaging. Dialing in a
little extra Width with this control can really fatten up the delay signal,
creating a fuller and richer effect.
The L/R Offset is also used to control the stereo imaging of EchoBoy,
but by adding a small delay difference between left and right channels.
This parameter is adjusted in milliseconds, and has a maximum value of
25 ms (default is 8ms). Smaller settings will produce a tighter rhythmic
feel, but may introduce phasing effects. Larger settings will tend to
produce less phasing problems, but will produce a looser rhythmic feel.
In order to hear the effect, the Width control must be turned up.
