085: Tape Echo - Korg Electronic Keyboard Parameter Manual

085: Tape Echo

This effect simulates a tape echo unit with three
playback heads. The distortion and tonal change
typical of magnetic tape are also reproduced.

INPUT
Trim
Sets the input gain.
Pre Tone
This models the reduced high frequencies of an analog
tape delay, before the saturation stage. Lower settings
create a darker tone.
WOW & FLUTTER
This section models the instability of the tape
machine's motors. As the speed of the motor
fluctuates, the pitch changes slightly.
Frequency [Hz]
Sets the frequency at which pitch variation occurs.
Depth
Sets the depth of the pitch change.
TAPE ECHO
Delay Time
Delay Time(Tap1) [msec]
This parameter sets the delay time of Tap 1.
Also, Taps 2 and 3 are specified as a percentage (%) of
this delay time. Taps 2 and 3 always stay in proportion
to Tap 1, even when the delay time is modulated.
Source
Selects the modulation source for the delay time.
Amount
Sets the modulation amount for the delay time.
Tap2 Position [%]
Sets the delay time of Tap 2, as a percentage of Tap 1's
delay time.
Tap3 Position [%]
Sets the delay time of Tap 3, as a percentage of Tap 1's
delay time.

Level and Pan 1...3
Each tap has its own controls for level and pan.
Tap1...3 Level
Sets the tap's output level.
Pan
Sets the tap's stereo position.
Feedback
Tap1...3 Feedback Amount
Sets the individual tap's feedback level. Negative
values invert the phase. These individual levels are
summed together, and then the final level is controlled
by Feedback Level, below.
Feedback Level
Sets the overall level of feedback.
Source
Selects the modulation source for the Feedback Level.
Amount
Sets the modulation amount for the Feedback Level.
Tone
High Damp [%]
This cuts the high frequencies in both the main output
and the feedback. Higher settings create a darker tone.
Low Damp [%]
This cuts the low frequencies in both the main output
and the feedback. Higher settings mean less low-end.
Saturation
This models the distortion of an analog tape delay.
OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with
modulatable control over wet/dry balance. For more
information, see "OUTPUT" on page 764.
