PSP Echo is a high quality echo processor. PSP Echo’s
powerful and unusual features
combined with its smooth operation makes it ideal for all kinds of creative uses
from simple slap
back and sustain effects through ping-pong delays and
spacious echoes. Use the delay sliders to add special tape echo effects for even
more unique effects. The tape wow control and built in ducker further extend
the creative potential of PSP Echo. Internally, the Echo is like a combination
of four mono tape delays—two for the initial ping-pong pre-delay and two for
the main stereo echo. PSP Echo includes a set of extremely useful factory
presets that cover a wide range of this plug-in’s settings.

·
Wow
Freq: Sets the tape
“wow” (pitch variation) frequency.
·
Wow
Depth: Sets the depth
of wow (pitch variation) effect.
·
Input:
Sets the input level
of the entire effect.
·
Tape
Speed: Controls the speed
of all the built in tape delays. The reference speed is 15”.
·
Ping-Pong:
Sets the amount of
the ping-pong effect. There is no ping-pong delay present in
the
C(enter) position. Moving the control to the left from C sets the plug-in's
left delay
shorter
then the right one. Moving the control to the right from C sets the right delay
shorter
then the
left one. For a standard, balanced ping-pong effect set this control to 3R or
3L.

Ducker
button: Click on the
round Ducker button to open the Ducker view.
·
Ducker
LED: Indicates the
state of the ducker. Green indicates the ducker is in the opened or
opening
state red indicates the ducker is closed or closing. If the ducker is
disengaged the
LED will
not illuminate.
·
Ducker
In/Out: Use this
button to engage (In) or disengage the ducker.
·
Ducker
Threshold: This knob
controls the threshold of the ducker.
·
Ducker
Range: Sets the
amount of attenuation when the signal on the input is above the
threshold.
·
Ducker
Open: Controls how
long it takes the ducker to open when the input signal goes
below the
threshold.
·
Ducker
Close: Controls how
long it takes the ducker to close when the input signal goes

ms/bpm
switch: Sets the
display mode to milliseconds or
to beats
per minute. In both settings the reference is 15”
speed and
a quarter note on sliders.
·
man/snc
switch: Sets the
source of time and tempo. When
set to the
man (manual) mode the time base or a tempo can
be set
manually. In snc mode the time base or tempo is
synchronized
to the host tempo. In either setting the
reference
is 15'”speed and a quarter note on sliders.
·
Time/Tempo
display: Sets the
overall delay (echo) time
or tempo
referenced to 15” speed and a quarter note. Click
on a
selected digit and drag the cursor up or down to
change
values of individual digits.
·
Note
Sliders: Use sliders
to set the musical note value
used for
the delay. The reference note is a quarter note,
which also
refers to the denominator when synchronized to
the host’s
tempo. You can glide to shorter or longer values
during
silence or when there is signal present as a way to
mimic
–unstable tape like effects.
·
Echo
LEDs: These LEDs
blink green when a wet signal on the corresponding echo channel occurs. They
will blink red when a tape is noticeably saturated.
·
Tap
Tempo/PSP Echo: Click
on the Echo label below the words “tap tempo” to tap out the tempo you wish for
PSP Echo.
·
Panic:
Click and hold for at
least 0.5s on the Echo label to reset all delays' signals

·
FB-Pan:
Sets the feed back panorama for this channel’s
echo effect. This allows for various cross-feedback and echonarrowing effects.
·
FeedBack: Controls the amount of feedback of
this channel.
·
FILTERS (high pass): Use this to set the high pass filter
for the processed signal. The range is 20Hz to 2kHz. A setting of 20Hz bypasses
the filter.
·
FILTERS (low pass): Use this to set the low pass filter
for the processed signal. The range is 200Hz to 20kHz. A Setting of 20kHz
bypasses the filter.
·
FILTERS (combined): Use this combined filter control to change
the cut-off frequency for both filters by a horizontal mouse move or to change
the frequency distance for both filters by a vertical mouse move.
·
Drive: Sets the amount of tape-like
saturation on the delayed signal. Experiment with various drive and filter
settings to mimic analog tape echo effects.
·
Level: Controls the gain of the echo
effect’s output.

Link switch: Turns channel linking on or off. You
can switch the link on and off during
setting up
PSP Echo without losing independent settings of channels, however if you want
to
retain
your independent settings please remember to turn it to the Off position before
saving
the
project or closing your audio application. When a project is stored and PSP
Echo is in
Linked
mode all independent settings of channels will be lost.
·
Dry Spread: Controls the stereo spread of a dry
signal. Values to the left of M(iddle) reverse the stereophony, settings close
to M makes the signal narrow. Setting it to S+ provides anormal stereo dry
signal on the output.
·
Dry Balance: Sets the balance between dry left
and right channels.
·
Dry Level: Sets the dry (unprocessed) signal
gain to the output.
·
Wet Level: Sets the wet (processed) signal gain
to the output.
Wet
Balance: Sets the
balance between wet left and right channels.
Wet
Spread: Controls the
stereo spread of the wet signal. Values to the left of Middle reverse the
stereophony, settings close to M makes the signal narrower. Set it to S+ for a normal
stereo wet signal on the output.
·
In-Bypass
switch: This switch
engages or disengages entire Echo effect.
