Soundtoys EchoBoy - Manual (Page 40)

Please Note: As soon as you edit any tap in the Edit screen the LED menu above the edit screen
will read “Custom Time” indicating that a change has been made in the pattern currently shown
on the screen.
Note: SoundToys rhythm patterns are shared between any SoundToys plug-in, so if you created
a cool rhythm in FilterFreak, you can now use that pattern in EchoBoy’s rhythm mode.
Remember that the setting of the Tempo, Groove and Feel controls will all affect the feel and
sync of the delays when any of these note values or rhythm patterns are selected and used.
Repeats Knob
The Repeats knob defines how many individual echo repeats you will hear. You can select the
number of Repeats by turning the knob or by using the nudge buttons on the left side of the
LED display.
If you turn the number of beats down, any echos already on the screen above the newly
selected value will go away, and you will no longer hear them. Increasing the repeats knobs will
cause these echoes to re-appear and to be heard.
If you increase the number of taps Echoboy will automatically place a new tap at the next
logical location based on the selected Grid value.
Feedback
The Feedback knob is used to ‘recycle’ the echo pattern. Turning it up will cause the entire
rhythm pattern to repeat. Important - this is different from the Repeats knob! The Repeats
knob controls how many repeats you will hear WITHIN the visible pattern. The Feedback knob
controls how many times the entire pattern will be played out.
Shape Knob
The Shape parameter allows you to apply various amplitude shapes across all the echos on the
screen, providing a quick and easy way to manipulate the echo level. The Shape knob
determines how much of the selected volume shape will be applied to the taps in the pattern.
The LED display and nudge buttons are used to choose which shape to apply:
