Vintage Tape Delay, Advanced SSL Workflow
SSL Native X-Echo is a vintage tape echo plug-in, inspired by the sound of definitive early tape delay hardware of the 1960s while introducing SSL's signature analogue saturation and warmth. Aside from sounding great from the get-go, it is complemented by numerous other practical and creative features, such as built-in de-essing, waveform visualisation, and a brand-new reverb design.
Features
- Inspired by early hardware delay units from the 1960s such as the Echoplex tape echo.
- Combine tape-style analogue degradation with classic SSL-style distortion characteristics using the ‘Wow & Flutter’ and ‘Saturation’ controls.
- Models classic characteristics of hardware tape echo devices, including the looping EQ, soft clipping, gentle tape hiss and self-oscillation when raising the feedback above 100%.
- WOW AND FLUTTER emulates the effect of mechanical components like the capstan and pinchwheel, as well as the friction of the tape itself.
- Use FREEZE and KILL to build risers and drops in recordings and live performances.
- Bespoke one-knob DIFFUSION control, featuring a brand new reverb design.
- Built-in DE-ESSER for controlling the sibilant frequencies that tape echoes often accentuate.
- Designed to sound great from instantiation – even before you start tweaking it.
- Unique interface and waveform visualisation for seeing how the tape heads interact.
- Sync your delay to note values with a single click.
- 4 switch-able tape heads for adding variation.
- Cleverly stereoises mono => stereo signals using a phase-shifting technique.
- Built on the SSL Plug-in Engine.
- SSL’s cross-platform preset management and A/B-ing system.
- Built-in UNDO/REDO support.
