UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual v5.2 - Just Music

Note: Echo Volume has no affect when the Mode Selector is in the “Reverb
Only” position.
Power Switch
This switch determines whether the plug-in is active. This is useful
for comparing the processed settings to that of the original
signal, or to bypass the plug-in to reduce the UAD DSP load.
Toggle the switch to change the Power state.
Toggling the power switch will also clear the tape echo. This can be useful if
the RE-201 is self-oscillating and restarting the feedback loop is desired.
Echo/Normal
This switch disables the signal sent into the echo portion of the
processor when set to NORMAL. The switch will have no effect
if “Mode Selector” on page 252 is set to “Reverb Only.” This control is sometimes
affectionately referred to as the “dub” switch.
Sync This switch puts the plug-in into tempo sync mode. See Chapter 8,
“Tempo Sync” for information, including additional sync info specific
to the RE-201 (page 89).
Delay Time
Display
These LCD-style readouts display the current delay
time(s) of the RE-201. The three displays
correspond to the three virtual “heads” in the
plug-in, and always maintain their proportional relationship to each other.
The delay time values are displayed in milliseconds unless tempo sync is active,
in which case beat values are displayed. When a particular head is inactive
(see “Mode Selector” on page 252), a dash is displayed.
When in tempo sync mode, note values that are out of range will flash. Imprecise
note values due to head relationships are displayed with superscript
+ or – symbol before the note.
Tape Age
In the original hardware, the tape loop is contained in a user-replaceable
cartridge. As the tape wears out, it is subject to fidelity
loss plus increased wow and flutter. The Tape Age switch allows
the plug-in to mimic the behavior of new, used, and old tape cartridges.
Newer tape may be ideal for a pristine vocal track, while older tape could be
described as having more “character” and might be more appropriate for
sources where greater chaos may be musical.
