Page 7: Introduction
The idea behind EARebound was to create an effect featuring 15 delay lines and a workflow similar to the one provided by a good old drum machine. This tool had to offer 16 commutable and synchronized “steps”, with each of them being independently shaped and placed in space by a series of dedicated effects.
Page 8: System Requirements
Demo and Full version are different binary files. It’s not possible to “transform” the Demo version to the Full version. If you want to purchase the full version of EARebound, please go to www.eareckon.com. A link to the full version setup application will be made available after your purchase is validated.

How to authorize the software by using codes 1. Before using an eaReckon plug-in, you need to register and authorize it. To do so please load the plug- in in your favorite host. The plug-in will display your Hardware ID.
Page 10: How To Authorize The Software By Using A Key File
How to authorize the software by using a Key File Once your serial number registered in your eaReckon user account and as soon as your personal information has been (manually) checked by eaReckon, a Key File will be available in your « Products Registration » page at www.eareckon.com).
Page 11: Quick Overview
Quick Overview EARebound offers different tools to sculpt an audio signal and/or place it in space. Let’s forget about the 16 delay lines for a while (even though these represent a major part of the plugin!), in order to focus on the following effects: Effects Set 1.
Page 12 Fifteen Delay Lines + an extra Global Delay option With EARebound synchronized to the host tempo, you won't have to worry about the time placement of the generated elements. Each pad on the bottom panel corresponds to a delay line (except the first one which is dedicated to the “source”).
Page 13: Top Panel
Panic button! Only one instance of EARebound (the “Master instance”) is allowed to modify presets in order to avoid corrupting presets. By closing the interface of the “Master Instance”, you will allow another instance of EARebound to modify presets.
Page 14: Bottom Panel
As other delay lines, the global delay line can be processed by its own set of effects. Please note that this special line will receive a stereo version of other delay lines (+ source). The Main/Aux “position” of these will be ignored by the global delay line. eaReckon EARebound...
Page 15: Main View
Global settings are only accessible from the 'Classic View'. They have an overall impact on the plug-in (and not only on the source or a delay line in particular). These parameters are mostly related to inputs and outputs of EARebound. Input level.
Page 16 Stereo routing with adjustable LF - LF do not reach the source effects and delay lines: MAIN OUTPUT INPUT AUX OUTPUT LFE OUTPUT Tip: This configuration avoids effecting the low frequencies, which can often result in muddy mixes. eaReckon EARebound...

Page 18: Individual Settings
For example, adjusting the amount of saturation applied to the first delay line will not affect the saturation applied to the other ones. To select the element to which changes will be applied, please click on the corresponding “EDIT” button (bottom panel). eaReckon EARebound...
Page 19: Saturation
1. Saturation You can choose from 7 types of saturation / distortion. ERD-1 adds presence to the signal while giving it a vintage character. It has an obvious impact on mid frequencies while lowering the presence of high frequencies. ERD - 1 is particularly suitable for the creation of distinct elements in the context of a rhythm line.
Page 20: Modulation
You will find some modulation presets in the Quick Modulation Settings menu that should demonstrate the possibilities offered by these two uncommon parameters. eaReckon EARebound...
Page 21: Level
4. Level Use this control to adjust the level of the currently edited delay line (or the “source” if its 'EDIT' button is enabled). Use this control to adjust the amount of signal to be re-injected into the delay line. This parameter is not available for the “source”, of course! Note: You can get an infinite loop by...
Page 22: Delay Time
If the base division is set to 'KNOB', you can set delay time regardless of the current tempo. Otherwise, this control is disabled and the displayed value indicates the applied delay time in milliseconds (as defined by the tempo, the base division and the multiplier). eaReckon EARebound...
Page 23: Alternative Views
Alternative views For your convenience, two alternative views are available. "Time Line" offers an overview of the delay time applied to each of the 15 delay lines. It is very convenient for setting delay times in relation to one other. "Mix View"...
Page 24: Mix View
The mix view controls are indeed very small but give an interesting overview of the effects applied to the first fifteen delay lines (and to the source itself). While a control of the Mix view is manipulated, this small screen displays the value of the related parameter. eaReckon EARebound...
Page 25: Midi Control
How easy or difficult it is to use the MIDI input of an effect mostly depends on the host in which the plug-in is loaded. In some hosts, you may have to load EARebound as an instrument or use it as the first insert of an “aux return”.
Page 26: Midi Note / Cc
Finally, EARebound features a “Default MIDI map”. This MIDI Map is loaded when a fresh instance of EARebound is created. You can overwrite and load the “Default MIDI Map” (which is empty by default) by using the following buttons (only available in “MIDI Learn” mode): Tip: the “Default MIDI Map”...
