EchoLab is a plugin for creating a wide variety of delay and echo effects. It provides an arbitrary number of delaylines each of which may have feedback, may be placed independently in the stereo panorama and may be switched into 'ping-pong' mode (which means alternating panorama positions for successive echoes). Moreover, each delayline has two filters associated with it - one sitting in its input path, the other one sitting in its feedback path. These filters themselves are made up from a series connection of an arbitrary number of stages and the frequency response of each such stage can be chosen from 8 different characteristics. Given that architecture, EchoLab allows for utmost flexibility in setting up rhythmic, filtered echo-patterns which form an essential ingredient in many styles of electronic music. |

Demo Clips
Now let's hear some examples of how such a beast can be used. The first example is some generic
(and therefore rather uninteresting) techno/elektro alike drumloop. In this example, the drumloop
was processed as a whole:
ElektroBeatDry.mp3
ElektroBeatDiPong001.mp3
ElektroBeatPattern005.mp3
ElektroBeatPattern006.mp3
ElektroBeatPattern013.mp3
Next, i'll take an even more generic four-on-the-floor drumloop. This loop is already a little
bit denser in itself, especially with regard to the bassdrum - therefore, this time everything
except the bassdrum is fed through the EchoLab. Feeding such a loop through the effect makes - in
my humble opinion - for some instant Schranz-patterns:
FourToTheFloorDry.mp3
FourToTheFloorPattern012.mp3
FourToTheFloorPattern013.mp3
FourToTheFloorPingPongPlusX.mp3
Now, there's only so much Schranz, man (or woman) can take, so let's now turn to something on the
more harmonic side - some simple chords, passed through EchoLab turn instantly into pleasant,
trancy patterns:
MinorChordStabsDry.mp3
MinorChordStabsPattern005.mp3
MinorChordStabsPattern006b.mp3
MinorChordStabsPattern010.mp3
ThirdsStabDry.mp3
ThirdsStabPattern004.mp3
ThirdsStabPattern006b.mp3
ThirdsStabPattern007.mp3
