Audiority has a brand new analogue simulation plug-in. It’s called Echoes T7E and it recreates a vintage disc echo unit from Italy. It’s likely the mid-sixties Binson Echorec 2 model T7E unit that’s receiving its digital resurrection here.

The gizmo is based on a magnetic spinning drum with record and playback heads arranged around a recording wire that’s wound around the drum. This design provides the familiar tape echo effect with the benefit of reduced wow and flutter defects. It’s also valve-driven, so it’s a warmer, more musical sound. You can learn a bit more about it here.

The Audiority plug-in is a “exact” recreation of the unit, apparently, complete with a hardware-inspired interface that puts the original directly on your display. There are tone, error, and volume controls for each of the four tape heads, in addition to a generous selection of virtual knobs to twist and experiment with. Also, the digital medium allows for extending the delay length to around 1100ms, up from the original’s ~310ms. Neat!

Overall, the Echoes T7E seems like a seriously cool plug-in capable of some far-out sounds thanks to its faithfully modelled vintage quirkiness. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
