THE ECHOBOY CONTROL PANEL - RHYTHM ECHO MODE
Echoboy — Version 5
REPEATS
The Repeats control is used to define how many individual echo repeats
you will hear, and is a very powerful control. You can select the number
of repeats by turning the knob or by using the nudge buttons on the left
side of the associated LCD display.
If you turn the number number of Repeats down below the number
of echoes already shown in the Rhythm Editor, any echoes above that
newly selected value will go away, and you will no longer hear them.
Increasing the value of the Repeats control will cause those echoes to
re-appear and be heard. If you increase the number of echoes, EchoBoy
will automatically place a new tap at the next logical location based on
the selected grid value.
While In Rhythm Echo Mode, specific numbers of echo repeats can be
dialed in using the Repeats knob instead of using the Feedback control.
This allows for control of both the volume level and the exact timing of
each echo, giving you much more creative power.
So, to hear exactly four repeats at 1/16th intervals, dial in a note value
of 1/16th, and set the Repeats knob to 4. You will see four green bars ap-
pear on the display, one for each echo repeat. For more or less repeats,
simply adjust the Repeats value. Selecting the Dot/Trip buttons will
create an echo pattern based on dotted or triplet notes. Selecting the
‘Time’ button will create an echo pattern in milliseconds (and you’ll hear
that cool analog pitch shift effect when adjusting the delay).
Once you’ve created an echo pattern that you really love, you can save
the pattern by pressing the down triangle on the right side of the LCD
menu display.
Select “Save”, enter a name for your pattern and press “OK”. Your cus-
tom pattern was just saved and will now appear in the preset list.
