Tape Echo - Arturia ACID V User Manual

6.5.5. Tape Echo

Tape Echo is a type of delay characteristic of early tape-based delay machines such as
the Maestro Echoplex and Roland Space Echo. Input sounds are recorded to a loop of tape
with one or more playback heads to create the echoes. Because tape loops can be unstable
and shift in pitch and timbre, they produce an effect that is warmer and less precise than a
digital delay.
Control Description
Input Adjusts the incoming signal to achieve varying amounts of analog saturation.
Time (H) Changes the length of the delay, with unsynced and tempo-sync options
Fine Lets you fine-tune the delay time (set by the Time knob) with +/- 30ms of delay time.
Intensity (V) Sets the feedback amount of the delayed signal.
Stereo Width Higher values increase the distance between the left and right iterations of the echoes
Ping Pong Toggles alternating left/right echoes with exact rhythmic spacing
