In 1973, Roland created the Space Echo system that utilized multiple
play heads to create warm, highly adjustable echo effects, which added
wonderful tape character and chaos to performances and recordings. The
Space Echo can be heard on numerous recordings, from 70’s space rock
like Pink Floyd and David Bowie, to countless Reggae and Dub albums, to
more recent bands like Portishead and Radiohead. Universal Audio has
been entrusted by Roland to re-create the highly beloved RE-201 unit,
considered the best of the Space Echo line. Our team spent over a year
developing our RE-201 Space Echo, which truly captures the physical
behavior of this complex device “warts and all”, down to the
distortion, wow and flutter, pitch shifting, and warmth that tape based
delays are famous for; but our plug-in goes even further, capturing the
complex self-oscillation that makes the Space Echo more than an effect,
but a unique instrument unto itself. For more information, click here |
