The Orinj Echo is an effect that takes an input signal and repeats it several times. Each successive repetition is delayed and decayed – it comes later than the previous one and with smaller amplitude. In this echo, the delay between each two successive repetitions is the same. The decay between each two successive repetitions is also the same.

The Orinj Echo is very similar to the Orinj Delay, but allows multiple repetitions of the signal. The Orinj Delay creates only one repetition of the signal. In essence, the Orinj Echo is a delay with feedback.

Using the Orinj Echo

The Orinj Echo can be added to tracks in the multitrack session view, tracks in the loop building view, and to waves in the single wave view. In the multitrack session view and in the loop building view, first select the track to which you want to add the effect. In all of these views, click on Effect, Delay, and then on Orinj Echo in the Orinj menu. You will see the following dialog.

The Orinj Echo dialog

When this dialog becomes visible, the Orinj Echo effect has been added to the track that you selected. Adjust the parameters of the echo, which are described below, in the dialog above and click Close.

Orinj Echo parameters

See Effects for an explanation of the Title, Track, Presets, Bypass, and Lock channels controls. The remaining Orinj Echo controls are described below:

See Effects for additional notes on: where Orinj effects can be used, using boxes and sliders that impact the same parameter (such as the box and slider for the left channel delay), applying effects to mono and stereo waves, and using effects during playback. The parameters for the left and right channels are separate, as a number of interesting effects can be created if the echo in the two channels differs (e.g., you can bounce the echo from one channel to the other). See Working with effects for additional information on creating, modifying, moving, removing, and processing effects.

Dry and wet mix

The Orinj Echo supports dry and wet mix changes. That is, you can adjust the mix between the original signal and the echo. See Effects for more information.
