Effects units

Notes: Developed in conjunction with Dutch software dons 112dB, the Echolocator brings precise, ultra-controllable delay to the hardware realm. Full stereo design with filter and shimmer modes, freeze function and foot switch input.

Supplier's Notes:
The Echolocator is a hands-on precision tool that lets you take manual and very musical control over small nuances. Like a bat navigating its environment in the dark, you can feel your way through your live performances and shape the delay response and character on the fly. Featuring 12 parameters for detailed sound design, save/recall functions for all parameters, MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units, the Echolocator will let your setup take flight in any live show, studio or sonic experiment.

Gorgeous analogue goodness in this all-rounder, featuring overdrive, filter, envelope, LFO and a nice retro spring reverb among others processing options. Tons of character.

Supplier's notes:
Today's digital effects and plug-ins can create almost perfect room simulations. However, when it comes to characteristic and charismatic reverb, analogue effect-processors are yet to beat. The reverberating sound of a spring is so lively and unique that its sound is almost impossible to recreate in the digital domain. In addition to this, Retroverb Lancet is not just a spring reverberation system - it is an analogue multi-effects-processor. It offers overdrive, filtering, VCA, envelope and LFO to manipulate the spring sound and create different sounds like auto-wah, tremolo, distortion, delay, gater and of course reverb.

The typical spring reverb sound is generated by a Belton/Accutronics type 4 spring tank with 3 individual springs. It can be placed pre or post the VCF/VCA section and equalized by the Tone parameter.

The Crash function generates the popular thunder effect that occurs when kicking an amplifier with spring tank. You don't have to kick Retroverb Lancet you simply can achieve this effect by pressing the Crash button. It also can be triggered by a Gate voltage.

The multimode filter works as lowpass or highpass with a slope of 24 dB per octave or as bandpass with 12 dB per octave. It is followed by a voltage controlled amplifier. The filter and amplifier can be modulated individually by different sources.

Envelope follower: the envelope follower converts the amplitude characteristic of the audio input signal into a control voltage.
Envelope generator: the envelope generator can be triggered by the input signal itself, a second audio signal or a gate voltage. Depending on the trigger source it works as Attack-Decay or as Attack-Sustain-Release envelope.
LFO: the LFO offers saw up and saw down, square, sine as well as sample&hold. Additionally it can use the envelope generators settings as waveform. It can oscillate freely or reset by different trigger sources.

The Retroverb Lancet also offers a CV/Pedal input which can be feed by external control voltages or can be used with expression pedals.

Notes: Float Glass is an 8 stage voltage-controlled phaser processor with a complex modulation source. It has the potential to be used as a phaser for signals coming into the input connections as well as a generative noise instrument. The modulation source normally makes a stepped sine waveform which can be smoothed out with the slew control. A smooth sine wave is a classic modulation shape for a phaser. Float Glass also has a noise source and clipped noise source labeled sand. These signals can be used as inputs for the phaser to make this device a self contained sound source. It should be noted from the block diagram that the sand control and associated connections are not wired in to the rest of the system. In order to use the noise or sand signals, banana patch cables are needed to make connections.

Notes: An interesting creative take on delay from Lorre Mill. The Comb Room combines echo and filtering to create reverb and resonant feedback effects. Banana plug patch points allow you to tweak the signal routing.

Supplier's Notes:
Comb Room

The comb room effect combines a dual delay (room circuit) and a comb filter to make echo/reverb-type sounds and resonant feedback. The comb filter is in the feedback path of the delays. An envelope follower gives movement to either the comb filter or the room circuit. The comb resonance control in conjunction with the comb return control can create self oscillation. The preamp for the 1/4" input has selectable gain of 10x or 40x and a soft clipping characteristic. The comb and room circuits are both built around 1 bit delta-sigma converters. In the case of the delays, the analog to digital conversion is done in the PT2399 echo IC. The comb filter uses a simple and gritty A/D converter built of logic chips and op-amps. Which gives the filter a characteristic sound. Clock noise can be heard at lower frequency settings. Patching the room output to the return will bypass feedback through the filter, allowing all frequencies to echo.
