THE ECHOBOY CONTROL PANEL - PING PONG ECHO MODE
Echoboy — Version 5
Ping Pong mode is used to create an Echo that bounces back and forth
between the left and right output channels. The control panel is nearly
identical to the Dual Echo mode, however the effect is very different.
It is important to keep in mind that the initial echo will ALWAYS appear
in the left “Ping” channel with the initial repeat determined by the echo
time set for Ping, be it in milliseconds or notes. The second echo will
always appear in the right “Pong” channel and it only appears based on
the “Ping” time PLUS the “Pong” time.

shorter
than Ping, you will always hear

As you turn up the Feedback control things can get really interesting as
each successive repeat is predicated on the other side being heard. So,
let’s say Ping is 500 ms and Pong is 250 ms. If you play a note you will
hear Ping 500 ms later, Pong 750 ms later (Ping + Pong) and Ping again
at 1250 ms (Ping+Pong+Ping) then Pong again at 1500 ms (Ping + Pong
+ Ping + Pong) and so on and so on. So the delay repeats are relative to
each other with each repeat of Ping showing up in the left channel and
