echo
An ambisonic delay with four taps that rotate around the listener as they repeat
taps
four delay taps
Presets for all four taps at once — even, ping-pong, spiral, cascade, single; double-click one to reset its values. Below, the four taps on a timeline: click a row to edit that tap.
taps · timing
delay time
In milliseconds, or synced to the tempo in sixteenth notes.
- time · steps · the delay time
- offset · offset steps · when the tap starts
- swing · shifts a synced tap off the grid
taps · axis
rotation axis
Each tap rotates around its own axis, set by azimuth and elevation. Pointing straight up, the tap circles the listener.
taps · every pass
what changes with each repeat
Applied again on every repeat, so the echoes move, fade and blur.
- spin · rotation per repeat; 180° is a ping-pong
- skew · how far each repeat slides along the axis
- feedback · blur · how quickly the repeats fade, and how diffuse they get
- band · low-cut and high-cut filters in the feedback path
send
which directions go into the delay
The send region picks the directions that feed the delay: all of them by default, or a spot, a band, sectors, dots or clouds.
the scene
where each echo comes from
Point the probe at a direction, and the 3D view shows where each echo of a sound from there arrives, as dots along a spiral around the tap's axis, over the incoming signal's energy.
The slide along an axis is the warp of Pomberger and Zotter, on the foundations page.
