Alter Echo

In Alter Echo, signal is sent to the delay circuit via the exclusive what sequencer. This tool allows you to choose exactly what part of the incoming audio you want to delay, managing its amplitude, also with fade in and fade out. This works from simple contents up to very rich and intricate configurations: you get up to 16 steps, accurate shape editing tools for each step, all time configurations you want (4/4? 7/8 triplets? 3/4 dotted? 7/32? 31/4? You can use them all!).

Once you’ve chosen how to feed the delay, you set delay time. Delay time works in ms or note values; again, all the time configurations are available as for the what sequencer, for infinite possibilities.

The audio goes then trough a low-pass/high-pass filter, and then in the texturize panel. This panel offers tons of handling parameters. Everything is based on the texturize length. This is a differentvalue from the delay time, and here’s the big difference with other delay effects. Often, in a delay effect, you get reading directions, but for example if you select “backward”, you’ll get backward segments equal to delay time. Delay time is 1/4? Then you’ll get 1/4 reversed slices. In Alter Echo you keep these functions as independent values: you can have a short 1/64 delay, and long 1/4 forward and backward slices, for a liquid and smooth shortly delayed wet signal. The same is for all parameters of this section: you can apply amplitude envelopes, split the playhead in two, and move the second playhead to create stunning accent configurations, or set the repeat chance to enrich the dry signal with a partially rearranged and delayed wet signal. This is so cool!
