THE BASICS - A DETAILED HISTORY OF ECHO (AND ECHOBOY)
Echoboy — Version 5
slap or specific delay devices like the PCM 42 each of which have a less
than linear or flat response. The bottom line is they just SOUND really
good.
Which brings us to EchoBoy. EchoBoy was designed from the beginning
to provide not just another delay plug-in, but one offering complete
control and the tonal options from a wide range of delay/echo devices.
Since its initial release in 2006, EchoBoy has become the go-to delay
tool for a staggering number of studios and producers world-wide. We
went to great lengths in designing EchoBoy to accurately reflect the
sound of a wealth of classic devices that have stood the test of time.
We are pleased beyond words that our own creation has become one of
those devices as well.
EchoBoy provides the necessary controls and parameters to emulate
virtually any classic or contemporary delay device. Our main goal was
to provide you with not only versatile but exceptional sound: one that
is truly musical, harmonically rich and with real character. Though it
can do that “input-sounds-like-output” thing, it excels at providing an
incredibly wide range of unique and analog sounding delays, each with
a unique and palpable character. It has a plethora of controls allowing
you to bring the kind of anomalies and character that were inherent in
tape and analog devices to your projects without a warehouse full of
expensive (and temperamental) hardware. You can get as tame or as
wild as you want with EchoBoy. Additionally, the included Rhythm Mode
provides for some truly new approaches to multi-tap delays.
Sun Ra once said, “space is the place”. We’re confident that EchoBoy
will take you to spaces and places unexplored previously. EchoBoy has
a lot to offer under the hood, and if you’re new to the plug-in please do
browse this manual at least once, as there are a wealth of controls and
options found inside. Enjoy!
