THE ECHOBOY CONTROL PANEL - RHYTHM ECHO MODE TWEAK MENU
Echoboy — Version 5
Rhythm Echo Mode’s slide-out Tweak Menu adds new pattern specific
tweaks along with some of the controls we have seen previously like L/R
Offset and Width. If you need a refresher on these two controls, head on
back to page 19.

The Accent control works like in previous modes (page 19), allowing
delay repeats to alternate between louder and softer, depending on the
control’s setting. The Accent control places emphasis on even taps when
set to the right and odd taps when set to the left. When the “Time”
button is selected the Accent control changes to “Warp”: a completely
different (and very unique) effect.
Warp creates a variable “time bias” or “time clustering” effect and
moves/clusters all the taps in tandem towards the beginning of the
pattern when turned to the left or towards the end of the pattern when
turned to the right. You’ll see how it changes the taps on-screen as you
adjust the Warp control. Warp can be really useful along with the Shape
control to create bouncing delay and robotic effects.

The Pan Shape LCD menu allows you to select from a number of preset
Pan shapes for the echoes (or taps). The options are: Double, Center, Alt
1,2,3, Sweep L, Sweep R and Pan. Each of these patterns pan the taps
into different preset positions and you’ll hear the variations clearly
when you move through the patterns. When the “Double” pan shape is
selected, the number of taps is cut in half, from 16 to 8, and each tap
becomes a stereo output, with independent modulation. This shape is
amazing for creating really meaty, thick, rich chorus effects.
