Digilogix uRack FX v1.2
80's Inspired 'Micro Rack' Effects
DESCRIPTION
uRack FX (Digilogix Series).
===============
NEW FOR V1.2!!! ADDED ENO-4001 LOOPING DELAY!!!
Inspired by the tape looping experiments of Eno and Fripp in the 70's, where long delays (with gradually decaying repeats) would be achieved using a dual tape reel setup (typically using Revox A77's). The first side of 'Evening Star' features lovely examples of this technique.
The ENO-4001 gives the user long delay times (up to 30 seconds) with visual feedback of loop length (handy when creating new loops or overdubbing). The wear control affects multiple parameters... set to default it adds subtle wow, flutter, filtering and saturation to the decaying repeats.
The Rec switch enables recording to the delay buffer... handy for practicing overdubs before committing 'to tape'.
I've been using a version of this device for a while now with my guitar, so it was just a case of designing a UI that fits with the uRack theme I have gone for with this suite of effects.
I have found the loop length indicator to be really helpful.
Hope you enjoy using it!
=================================================================
NEW FOR V1.1!!! ADDED EDD-3001 VARIABLE RATE DELAY!!!
Inspired by the 80's variable sample rate delays. I own a few different types of these units, so have taken my favorite features and combined them into the EDD-3001 Variable Rate Delay.
Multiple features including modulation, feedback path filtering, infinite repeats ('Hold') and sample rate adjustment for extra long delays ('Factor').
Using the Hold function and adjusting Factor you can also get really nice 'PrimeTime' style octave (and fifth!) shift effects.
======================================
The first set of a series of 'uRack' effects devices inspired by the 80's Boss 1/2 rack units.
The intent for these devices was to create a wide range of effects that could be nicely integrated with other ensembles, and also used alone or together to build a suite of Reaktor Effects with similar dimensions, GUI's and simplified control schemes.
These devices are taken mostly from the (excellent) NI library FX section, with edits/changes to parameters and other upgrades to make them work nicely in a 'rack' type setup.
I also added Delay hold function (very 80's!) and a hold function on the Reverb.
FUTURE UPDATES:
===============
- There will be another 5 '80's' inspired devices developed, focusing on 'tonal/insert' effects (EQ, compression, distortion etc.). These will complete the 80's range.
- There will also be a 70's inspired and 90's/00's inspired range of devices coming up.
- All these devices were originally developed for an x0x drum machine I have been working on, but found they were more useful as independent devices.
