Delay

The Echo

Reason Studios

The Echo is an advanced stereo delay and echo device with extensive tone-shaping capabilities including diffusion, filtering, distortion, and modulation. Beyond standard send/insert operation, it offers three distinct modes—Normal, Triggered, and Roll—enabling automated momentary effects and creative stutter/repeat textures. Its breakout jacks allow inserting external effects into the feedback loop for unlimited creative sculpting of repeats.

Key Features

01Three operating modes: Normal, Triggered, and Roll for momentary and automated effects
02Delay time range 1-1000ms (or 1/128 to 1/2 note with Sync)
03Four distortion/limiter algorithms: LIM, OVDR, DIST, TUBE in Color section
04Stereo Ping-Pong mode with alternating left/right repeat panning
05Diffusion subsection with Amount and Spread controls for smearing effect
06Resonant bandpass filter with Freq and Reso controls on each repeat
07Modulation via Env, Wobble, and LFO (Rate and Amount)
08Breakout jacks for inserting external effects into feedback loop

Things to Try

  • 01Set delay time to minimum (1ms) with feedback at 100% and Diffusion Amount at maximum to create a pitched delay playground
  • 02Enable Sync mode and set repeats to 1/16th note resolution for beat-locked delay effects
  • 03Move the Roll slider quickly to the beat in Roll mode at full Wet output to freeze and repeat drum loops
  • 04Set Dry/Wet to approximately 85% Wet in Roll mode to maintain timing reference while rolling
