This page is with free VST modules based on the (Digital Echo Simulation Objects) DESO set of objects part of the eTAP modules designed to help the guitarplayer obtaining a range of (requested) effects.
eTAP2 Build 001
The VST module we present is a result of about 6 years experience in analyzing, developing and creating patches for various echo gear. From an engineering point of view, the objective was to emphasis on the already available vintage measurement libraries and applying the do- act-improve cycle to the design at hand as to maximum the possible performance possible.
The final approach taken is a dual approach. In many cases the guitar player is not interested in fine- tuning an echo device but would just like to select a recommended setting and play along with it. For this type of player the presetmanager is loaded with a extensive set of pre-programmed patches ready to be used. In other cases where the guitar player requires matching the exact echo with the echo that was used to record the track from his/her favorite artist.
The eTAP Engineer VST module is the assigned module that fits this requirement as it allows customizing the various filter and timing characteristics in minute details.
The emphasis for eTAP is geared towards the vintage echo's used by H.B. Marvin during the 1960- 1965 era. We believe "from the man himself" that the early recording are made without the Meazzi gear but with some sound- engineering tricks. The mentioned vintage echo gear allowed the Shadows to sound like the recording while performing life. Our approach would allow also for a fine tuning towards the "studio delivered" echo's. The VST module presented here allows for those two mentioned approaches as it will act as a normal vintage device emulator or can be fine-tuned to your specific needs.
Developed, designed, build and calibrated by: Piet Verbruggen & Jacob Heijer
eTAP@ build2
This is the latest version and is with an additional delay resembling ping/pong. the main purpose of this added delay is to create space in a stereofield for the guitar.
DESO-W&F Build 001
A derived product based on the eTAP sollution. This module simulates a selection of tape and disc behaviour related to the artefact's part of the not ideal behaviour of the mechanics of the mentioned devices. The unit provides for 4 distinguist Wow and Flutter models based on frequency modulation including 7 amplitude modulation variations both while the ratio's can be applied from no effect to maximized effect. The unit will minimize CPU usages when the ratio is set to '0'.
ePANNER build 1.1
ePanner is a simple utility to allow for panning within the stereofield using a smooth function to traverse from left to right or reverse.
The controls are:
Speed: The frequency used to pan from left to right
Span: The actual movement of the panning so it could be 0 - maximum
L/R Switch: In the event you require the channels to be switched
Speed Ratio: Extended range downwards from speed/1 to speed/4
A BPM indication is implemented.
eTremolo build 1.0
Tremolo is a simple utility to allow for amplitude modulation including amplitude depth
