Add the legendary sound of Roland's RE-201 Space Echo to your productions with the Galaxy Tape Echo Plug-In from Universal Audio. With its winning combination of tape delay and spring reverb effects, the original Space Echo found favor with musicians and producers across a wide spectrum of musical genres, ranging from rock artists such as Radiohead and David Bowie to dub masters like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry. This emulation, from the engineers at UA, painstakingly recreates the original hardware unit's warm, distinctive character and is ready to work wonders on both vocals and instruments.

The powerful and versatile effect can conjure up a huge array of diverse effects including subtle tape textures, shimmering ambience, psychedelic fun-house echoes, and much more, courtesy of its distortion, wow and flutter, and pitch-shifting capabilities. This plug-in software download includes a native version that will run on Mac and Windows computers without UA hardware as well as a second version that runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 hardware.

Emulation of Roland RE-201 Space Echo    Tape Delay / Spring Reverb System    Analog Echo Effects    From Subtle Textures to Wild Special FX    Distortion, Wow, and Flutter    Pitch Shifting, Tempo Sync    Includes Native, Apollo & UAD-2 Versions    For Mac and Windows Computers

Universal Audio has painstakingly captured every quirk and characteristic of this complex device. For example, just like the hardware, you can drive the input hard to add hair to a vocal, or widen a drum bus with fat analog character. Tweak the controls and harness seemingly infinite wow and flutter and pitch shifting combinations, perfect for energizing electric guitars. From rockabilly slapback to hazy trails of swirling delay, the Galaxy Tape Echo is a secret sauce for any source in any genre.

The Galaxy Tape Echo keeps the controls of the original hardware, and adds some for modern workflows. Use the original Mode Selector for various head combinations, Repeat Rate for timing control, and Intensity for repeats and self-oscillation. The Echo/Normal switch mutes the signal to the echo, while global Bass and Treble let you season to taste. New features include Tempo Sync, Pan controls for reverb and delay, and Tape Select for varying delay timbres. By capturing the eccentricities of the original, and adding enhancements along the way, the Galaxy Tape Echo is a tool of infinite creativity.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the the bluetooth a receiver or transmitter? If it is a receiver, is the stereo bluetooth signal split between channel 1 and 2 controls? Thanks.

A: This will receive bluetooth signals and will not use either of your avaiable input channels.

Q: 2. can I use it to broadcast a lecture to a telephone conference?

A: The Galaxy Audio GT-INST-3 is a wireless portable horn microphone system designed for use with most horn instruments including saxophones, trumpets, tubas, trombones, and French horns. If you are looking for a similar wireless microphone system for a lecturer to wear, then you will want a system that includes a microphone designed for capturing speech, such as the Galaxy Audio GT-V Trek Series Battery-Powered, Compact Wireless Lavalier Microphone System (B&H # GAGTVX) or the Compact Wireless Headset Microphone System (B&H # GAGTSX). Any of these Galaxy Audio wireless microphone systems can be used for broadcast, but the lavalier and headset microphones are better suited for capturing speech than the horn microphone.

Q: 3. what advantage does this have over a Y cable?

A: The construction of the box is more solid and wiring on the box is internal so it's protected from breakage and more durable than a basic Y-cable. Additionally, the JIB/Y also has phantom block circuitry that prevents phantom power from coming back into the splitter from the equipment the box is connected to. Phantom power can damage certain microphones so the JIB/Y offers protection from damage that can be caused by phantom power.

Q: 4. Can two of these be used at the same time?

A: Yes, you can use two of the GT-INST-3 wireless mic systems at the same time. The transmitter and receiver will pair automatically. When setting up the wireless systems, turn on the first set and allow the transmitter and receiver to pair while the system is turned off. Leave the first system on, the turn on the second set and the transmitter and receiver will automatically pair on a different frequency. Since this wireless system operates on the 2.4 GHz range, just be aware of potential issues with interference when using the mics in areas that have a lot of cell phones and wi-fi as they operate within the same frequency band.

Q: 5. Do I need a splitter to convert one microphone input into a two microphone amplifier input?

A: Yes, you would need a splitter like this, just make sure you have enough mic cables (3) to make all the connections.

Q: 6. Does this also work to split the line level connection coming from a sound board so I can feed two cameras?

A: The manufacturer of the JIB/Y, Galaxy Audio, does not recommend it be used to split a line level signal. Alternatively, you may consider the Whirlwind LBS; B&H# WHLBS.

Q: 7. Well this product seems very interesting, I have a doubt to be cleared. I am planning to record from a microphone to two different recorder. Both of them have Phantom power. Will I be able to block phantom power to one recorder and supply phantom from only one providing to microphone as shown in the picture? Will the audio Quality will be the same. Actually one is recording with full effects and eq and another one is for just RAW vocal as backup and further processing if needed.

A: The only recorder that the phantom should be on is the one the mic is plugged into. Then feed the other recorder with the phantom block output.

Q: 8. Is it analog or digital?

A: CD is a digital format.

Q: 9. Can it be used for cello?

A: Yes, the microphone that is included with the Galaxy Audio Trek GT-INST-6 Wireless Portable Violin Microphone System could be used with a cello or other stringed instruments, but you may need to use a different bracket to accommodate the string spacing on a cello or other stringed instruments. As another option, you may want to consider the Galaxy Audio GT-INST-1 Wireless Portable Disc Transducer (B&H # GAGTINST1) which has a microphone that attaches to the instrument's body, instead of attaching to the strings.

Q: 10. Could you let me know the HS-Code for this product?

A: We do not have this code. Please contact the manufacturer directly.
