ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 946.5 EchoesEchoes effectsThe Echoes effect type manages classic echo-effects. The input signal can be delayed indi-vidually in up to three signal paths. This means the signal for each active delay path runs suc-cessively through the Lowpass, Highpass and Allpass filters. The three Pan controls enable thethree delay paths’ output signals to be separated. The signal manipulation here is particularlyinteresting: the adjacent signal is directly routed to the output (parameter Gain). At the sametime, it is sent back to the input of the respective echo path by way of the Feedback func-tion. An echo can lose high and low frequencies when sent through a filter and thus soundduller or more ethereal. The Allpass filter can produce phase shifts, which produces someinteresting results, particularly using short delay times. These filter parameters can also bemodulated using the Macro Controls, which increases the number of possibilities.The parameters in the Master section (Time, Feedback and Beat switch) function in the sameway as the Multicomb effect. Each of the three delay lines has the same set of parameters:Time, Feedback, Sensitivity control, Gain and Pan, which work in the same way as theirequivalents in the effect types Multicomb and Multitap. The allpass filter’s parameters in theEchoes effect achieve the most striking results if modulated by an envelope.
