1. What Is SACRED DSP “Phase Echo”?
Phase Echo is a phase-aware delay that measures delay time in musical note cycles, so the repeats keep the phase and tuning that match the pitch of the input sound. Use the Time LFO to create liquid-sounding repeats, climb up chords with Stairs, and twist the tails into spirals, droids, bells and shimmering pads. Rooted in psytrance, it is built for anyone who wants to put motion into their sound.
Key Features
- Time LFO: An LFO applied directly to the delay time, ranging from gentle tape wobble to full-range time warping
- Spiral: Shifts the pitch up or down with every repeat to create constantly moving tails
- Stairs: Expands a single note into an arpeggio or a chord
- Resonance engine
- Ping-pong
- A second LFO can animate the filter
- Timing can be set in note cycles, beats or milliseconds, and pitch snaps to a chosen scale and root
- Live visual feedback shows how the sound moves, plus presets for sound design
- Demo video samples: Splice Sounds (TSP_GQTJD_160_drum_break_jungleshuffle, KMRBI_GAB_160_synth_stack_loop_kindasucks_Fm)
