THE ECHOBOY CONTROL PANEL - RHYTHM ECHO MODE
Echoboy — Version 5
The Rhythm Editor gives you a graphical view of each of the echoes, as
well as a means of tweaking each individual echo. Simply click inside
the grid window to set and adjust any of the (up to) 16 individual echoes
(you can also option-click and command-click). Keep in mind the follow-
ing while editing:
• Only the echoes that you can see in the window are the
ones that you will hear.
• Each echo can be adjusted in two ways: time/placement and
volume. Where it appears on the grid determines its “time”
within a pattern and its “height” determines its volume. The
taller the bar, the louder the echo.
• You cannot have two echoes at exactly the same place / time.
If you try to move one of the echoes to a location where anoth-
er tap already exists, EchoBoy will automatically move the echo
back to its original location when you let go. EchoBoy will also
not allow you to create two echoes in the same location as an
existing one.
• Use the Feedback control to repeat full patterns, use the
Repeats control to define the number of individual echoes that
will repeat.
CREATING CUSTOM RHYTHM PATTERNS
To create a new echo (taking into consideration that all 16 echoes are
not yet on the screen), simply click in the Rhythm Editor window. A new
green bar will appear where ever you happen to click and the bar will
automatically be placed on the nearest vertical grid line.
To delete an echo, press and hold the Option key and then click on one
of the existing delay taps which will remove it.
ADDING / DELETING AN ECHO
If you click on an echo and hold the mouse down you can move the echo
anywhere on the grid. You’ll notice that the echo will always jump to one
of the grid lines. Keep in mind that you can select a finer grid like 1/32nd
to adjust the location of the echoes in a more precise manner.
To adjust an echo’s volume, simply click on a echo and drag the cursor
up or down and the bar will get longer or shorter depending on which
direction you drag. Higher is louder and lower is softer.
