Decay

Successive echos get progressively lower in volume moving from left to right. This is used to
create a ‘natural’ echo decay pattern, and can be useful for creating reverb-like sounds.

Reverse

The opposite of Decay. Progressive echos get louder. This is a really cool effect, and can be
used to create the classic 80’s backwards echo effect.

Swell

The echo starts out low in volume, gets louder in the middle, and gets quieter again.

Fade

The opposite of Swell where the taps start loud and have a dip in the middle of the pattern.

Nonlin

A semi-random “cluster” pattern with multiple minor peaks and valleys. This is pattern after
another 80’s classic - the NonLinear reverb effect from the high-end AMS RMX16 digital reverb
box.
