If you listened to the radio in the late 80s, you’ve heard the Crystal Echoes effect from the Eventide H3000 effects processor. Based on the Eventide H3000’s innovative “Reverse Shift” algorithm, Crystallizer brings granular echo slicing, old-school pitch shifting and powerful new features together into one inspiring tool. A mind-warping sound design trip.Ĭrystallizer is an otherworldly creative effect that transforms instruments using a combination of pitch shifting and reversed echo. Just like the original unit, with the Mode selector you can choose 12 different combinations of echo playback heads and reverb (4 Echo only, 7 Echo+Reverb, 1 Reverb only). WOW/Flutter will also change according to the selected tape, creating different amount of pitch and volume nonlinearities.Ĭhanging the speed of the repetitions (Repeat Rate) will also affect the tape frequency response. Each tape will affect the sound in a subtle but different way, especially at higher feedback (Intensity) settings. The original RT-1L, a more modern replacement, and an older worn out tape.

We’ve modelled three different tape types. We’ve also modelled the ballistic response of the delay rate (repeat rate) which can create eerie pitch shifts (due to the Doppler effect), one of the classic tape echo-based sound effects. We have modelled three different tape frequency responses and saturations, along with all the analog imperfections of tape recording/playback.

As the original unit, Outer Space features an echo section with three playback heads and a spring reverb tank. Outer Space is a faithful emulation plugin of a famous vintage tape echo made in the early seventies. We have collected for you the top 7 VST plugins Echo according to PluginBoutique.
