bounce back into the audible spectrum) .
This stage also eliminates frequencies
that are shifted up over half the sample-
rate ("nyquist") .
Mixing a slightly shifted signal with the
source signal creates phaser-like
"beatings" and applying feedback (with a
very short delay time) emphasizes this
sound. The sideband suppression
technology introduces additional "phase
shifting" that adds further to this effect.
The delay time can be synchronized to
tempo and it can be modulated to create
chorus type effects. The delay uses an
"all-pass interpolation" technique that is
low on aliasing and will preserve all the
high-frequency energy of your source
signal (even when time is being modulated) . Even with no frequency shifting taking
place, Echobode is useful as a high quality echo effect with subtle phase smearing
properties.
A built-in sine LFO can be routed to modulate the frequency shifting amount, the
phase shift or the delay time. The LFO can be tempo synchronized and put into
stereo mode to generate inverse modulation for the right audio channel. Even in
synchronized mode, rate changes are smooth and will not cause sudden jumps.
Echobode has no latency and has a consistent sound on all supported sample
rates. It is CPU friendly and automatically "suspends" itself, taking 0% CPU when
its inputs and outputs are silent. You will find lots of CV inputs on the backside
and separate outputs for the two sidebands. Bundled with the product are many
patches, combinators and song files that will demonstrate the many different
identities that this deceivingly simple looking effect can assume.
