PING PONG ECHO EFFECTS
The field allows you to add another repeat element to the echo effect
and takes a ‘tap’ off the delayed signal to produce a secondary repeat. This allows you to create
pseudo stereo ‘ping pong’ echo effects that bounce back and forth from left to right. A setting
of 00 creates a mono echo effect. A setting of +50 will create a ‘ping pong’ echo effect that
goes from right to left and back again. A setting of -50 will create a ‘ping pong’ echo effect that
goes from left to right and back again. Settings in between 00 and ±50 will give ‘asymmetric’ or
syncopated ‘ping pong’ effects.
For example, with a setting of 500mS and a of ±50, the
result will be equally spaced repeats of 250mS. I.e.:
LEFT
RIGHT
IN
500mS 1Sec 1.5Sec
250mS 750mS 1.25Sec
With settings of, say, ±25, the first repeat will come after 125mS, the
second after 500mS, the third after 625mS, etc. (depending on the amount of feedback). I.e.
RIGHT
IN
500mS 1Sec 1.5Sec
LEFT
125mS 625mS 1.125Sec
The closer the parameter is set to ±50, the closer the first echo will be to
the value set in the parameter.
