Description
Overview
The ERS Echorek2 is a high-fidelity software emulation of the legendary Binson Echorec2 analog delay. Originally designed by Harrie Munnik of EmptyRoomSystems and now distributed and developed by DDMF, this plugin is the result of a meticulous study of the original hardware schematics. It captures the unique, dreamlike, and psychedelic qualities that made the Binson a staple on thousands of recordings, including the early discography of Pink Floyd.
By combining authentic analog behavior with enhanced digital controls, the ERS Echorek2 provides the “benign unpredictability” of the original hardware while offering the stability and flexibility required for modern studio production.
Key Details
- Authentic Emulation: Developed from original hardware schematics to ensure an accurate recreation of the Binson Echorec2’s sonic character.
- Psychedelic Textures: Specialized in creating the ethereal, swirling, and atmospheric delay tails associated with classic psychedelic rock and experimental music.
- Enhanced Control Set: While maintaining the vintage sound, the plugin includes expanded controls to better integrate the effect into contemporary mixes.
- Cross-Platform Versatility: Extensive support across desktop and mobile operating systems, including native support for Apple Silicon and Linux.
Use Cases
- Vintage Rock Production: Recreate the iconic, shimmering delay sounds found on early 1960s and 70s progressive and psychedelic albums.
- Ambient Soundscapes: Use the organic decay and unpredictable modulation to build lush, evolving textures for cinematic or electronic music.
- Lead Guitar Enhancement: Add depth and a “dreamlike” quality to solos without the clutter of a standard digital delay.
- Mobile Production: Utilize the AUv3 version in iOS hosts like Garageband or Cubasis for professional-grade analog delay on the go.
