S, M, L, S+M, S+L, M+L, S+M+L

Combination of playback heads to use

Select from three different heads with different delay times.

S: short
M: middle
L: long

Repeat Rate

0–127

Tape speed

Increasing this value will shorten the spacing of the delayed sounds.
Intensity 0–127 Amount of delay repeats
Bass -15–+15 [dB] Boost/cut for the lower range of the echo sound
Treble -15–+15 [dB] Boost/cut for the upper range of the echo sound
Head S Pan L64–63R Independent panning for the short, middle, and long playback heads
Head M Pan L64–63R
Head L Pan L64–63R

Distortion

0–5

Amount of tape-dependent distortion to be added

This simulates the slight tonal changes that can be detected by signal-analysis equipment.
Increasing this value will increase the distortion.
Wf Rate 0–127 Speed of wow/flutter (complex variation in pitch caused by tape wear and rotational irregularity)
Wf Depth 0–127 Depth of wow/flutter
Echo Level 0–127 Volume of the echo sound
Direct Lv 0–127 Volume of the original sound
Level 0–127 Output Level
