Note:
Echo Volume has no affect when the Mode Selector is in the “Reverb
Only” position.
Power Switch
This switch determines whether the plug-in is active. This is use-
ful for comparing the processed settings to the original signal,
or to bypass the plug-in to reduce the UAD DSP load. Toggle
the switch to change the Power state.
Toggling the power switch will also clear the tape echo. This can be useful if
the RE-201 is self-oscillating and restarting the feedback loop is desired.
Echo/Normal
This switch disables the signal sent into the echo portion of the
processor when set to NORMAL. The switch will have no effect
is set to “Reverb Only.” This control is some-
times affectionately referred to as the “dub” switch.
Sync
This switch puts the plug-in into tempo sync mode. See
for information, including additional sync info spe-
Delay Time
Display
These LCD-style readouts display the current de-
lay time(s) of the RE-201. The three displays
correspond to the three virtual “heads” in the
plug-in, and always maintain their proportional relationship to each other.
The delay time values are displayed in milliseconds unless tempo sync is ac-
tive, in which case beat values are displayed. When a particular head is in-
active (see
), a dash is displayed.
When in tempo sync mode, note values that are out of range will flash. Im-
precise note values due to head relationships are displayed with superscript
+ or – symbol before the note.
Tape Age
In the original hardware, the tape loop is contained in a user-re-
placeable cartridge. As the tape wears out, it is subject to fidelity
loss plus increased wow and flutter. The Tape Age switch allows
the plug-in to mimic the behavior of new, used, and old tape car-
tridges.
Newer tape may be ideal for a pristine vocal track, while older tape could be
described as having more “character” and might be more appropriate for
sources where greater chaos may be musical.
