With the success of Delay Pro, I’m sure that there’s a higher quality reverb coming eventually, maybe it’s Ether or Jura’s reverb as a standalone.
I would like them to make the Echo delay that’s in the Odyssey plug-in a standalone FX. That thing is insane. I didn’t know until recently that it’s an emulation of a famous classic guitar pedal called the Echoplex made by Mike Battle & used by many music legends.
This dude really love this thing. He gave history of it, did a VS with a modern remake that I think is better & may get that, but would preferred if Akai made the Echo it’s own FX, then we could use it on anything even stack them on themselves. He also showed how each sounded when you play with the delay speed slider/knob in real-time, which to me is the best thing about it. You can get it to make sounds that even Delay Pro can’t do. I’ll put a link to a test beat I did with Echo & a sample at the bottom.
My Echo test beat. The delay stuff starts at like 2 mins in. I put the Delay time parameter on the crossfader on the Force, but you could use a Q-link knob or even the slider on the touch screen, which actually works well with this FX - that’s how I was first using it before I switch to the crossfader: https://www.elektronauts.com/t/mpc-thre ... 73139/4565
I hope more people will start wanted the Echo as a plugin & hopefully then Akai will make that happen. Currently I think most users don’t use it or at least I never get the sense that it’s used by many & that could be for many reasons like poor marketing & the fact most MPC heads may not know about the OG & the Odyssey plugin came in with bunch of stuff & it just get lost in the mix. They could even make a Echo Pro for people that’s willing to pay.
