Frecho
Section titled “Frecho”This is a frequency domain echo that functions with pitch. The Distance control determines the perceived distance of the reflection; the minimum is set to 17 meters, resulting in 34 meters for the sound to return to the signal’s perceived source, simply because any less than that and we wouldn’t have echo but reverberation. Absorption controls how much of the sound is absorbed and how much is reflected back.
Using the Pitch function you can pitch-shift each echoed sound, and that is precisely what Frecho is all about! The values are given as semitones per echo. The Mix knob controls how much of the original sound is heard as compared to the echoes: a setting of 0 provides no echo, while a value of 100 provides only the echo.
Frevcho
Section titled “Frevcho”Similar to Frecho, but the echoes are reversed! The controls are the same as in Frecho, but the sound is quite unique and different.
Freqverb
Section titled “Freqverb”Similar to Frecho, but this time it is a frequency domain reverb, with an ability to pitch-shift every single reverberation. In other words, there are so many echoes in such a short time period that our ears can’t differentiate between them.
The Life time function governs how long the sound reverberates. The longer the setting, the more sound builds up — it can even be driven into saturation! The Room size parameter is similar to the Absorption function in Frecho, and controls how much attenuation is applied to each reflection. Pitch functions the same as it does in Frecho: each reverberation can be pitch shifted, and once again the values are given as semitones per echo. The Mix knob controls the ratio of affected and unaffected signal.
