Echo

Ableton

Where to get itIncluded with Ableton Liveableton.com

Echo is a modulation delay effect featuring two independent delay lines with envelope and filter modulation control. It offers three channel modes (Stereo, Ping Pong, Mid/Side) and delivers flexible delay time control via beat divisions or milliseconds, making it suitable for creating everything from subtle spatial effects to deep flanging and rhythmic delay textures.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Two independent delay lines with individual time and offset control
02Three channel modes: Stereo, Ping Pong, Mid/Side
03Delay time sync modes: Notes, Triplet, Dotted, 16th
04High-pass and low-pass filter with resonance control and visual filter display
05LFO with six waveforms (sine, triangle, sawtooth up, sawtooth down, square, noise) modulating delay and filter
06Envelope follower blendable with LFO via Env Mix parameter
07Character controls including Gate, Ducking, Noise, Wobble, and Repitch
08Reverb with three insertion points (pre delay, post delay, feedback loop) and adjustable decay

Things to Try

  • 01Enable Modulation x4 to scale delay time modulation depth by four for deep flanging sounds with short delay times
  • 02Set Phase to 180° for perfectly out-of-phase modulation between left and right channels
  • 03Use Env Mix to blend envelope follower modulation with the LFO for dynamic, input-responsive delay effects
  • 04Adjust Delay Offset sliders to introduce swing-type timing effects reminiscent of drum machines
