Audio engineers and music producers looking for a next-generation space echo effect will be thrilled with the BABY AUDIO Spaced Out, a lush FX generator designed for sending your drums, instruments, and vocals into a weightless, heavenly orbit. With its crystalline reverb, a wealth of modulation options, and a 16-step delay sequencer, Spaced Out delivers more than 50 individual effects for a singular creative experience with endless outcomes and zero sub-menus.

Futuristic Space Echo    Crystalline Reverb    16-Step Delay Sequencer    Over 50 Individual Effects    Syncs to DAW BPM    Echo Step Controls: Off, On, Low Accent    Vacuum, Small, Medium, and Outer Space    Great for Drums, Instruments, and Vocals    AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST3 Formats    macOS and Windows Compatible

The Echoes engine consists of 16 individual tap delays synced to your DAW's BPM. Each delay line can be in a state of: Off, On, or Low Accent (engaged, but with a lower/filtered output). Click inside the windows to enable or disable any step, or use the dice icon to autogenerate your settings. You can always clear the entire sequencer by clicking the X icon.

• Intensity: Add sustain (left handle) to increase the volume of the later steps in the delay sequencer. This will give you a denser output. Add feedback (right handle) to increase the number of repeats of each delay line.
• Dimension: Toggle between Off (no stereo effect), Ultrawide (stereo widener), or Motion (auto-panning function).
• Texture: Switch between Clean, Wonky Tape, Lofi, and Hazy. Each of the textures utilize several under-the-hood effects, calibrated to create four distinct delay flavors.
• Reverse: Reverses the delay signal.
• Filter: Analog-modeled HPF (left handle) and LPF (right handle) to shape the tone of the wet/delay signal.
• Mode: Sets the time signature. Toggle between Straight, 2x (twice as fast as Straight), Dotted, and Triplet modes.

The Space engine is a hybrid reverb/modulation effect. Its foundation is an algorithmic reverb designed from the ground up to sound transparent, modern and crystalline. Four unique modulation effects—Lush, Trippy, Alien and Cosmic—have been baked into the reverb algorithm, so you can add a touch of their character to your reverb and achieve some dreamy, otherworldly results.

The middle circle lets you set modulation effect, modulation intensity, and reverb length. Effects include:

• Pre-Delay: Delays the reverb signal by 0-250 ms.
• Stardust: Creates an angelic high-frequency shimmer effect.
• Mellow: HPF (left handle) and LPF (right handle) for shaping the reverb tone.
• Clean-Up: Decreases the reverb density for a lightweight sonic signature. This is achieved by feeding the reverb algorithm with an altered dry signal.
• Width: Sets the reverb width between stereo and mono. 
• Program: Four distinct reverb programs: Vacuum, Small Space, Medium Space, and Outer Space.

The central mixer hosts a universal X-Y joystick control that lets you morph between both wet-FX engines and the dry signal in one seamless motion.

• Generate: The Generate function (Dice icon) will create random effect configurations to give you a quick starting point. This feature has been optimized and musically calibrated to give you usable results. Quite often, you may find that you just need to move the central X-Y joystick after clicking the dice a few times. Spaced Out can be as fast or as deep as you want it to be.
• Ducker + Ducker Sync: The Ducker is a sidechain effect that lowers the wet signal according to another signal's input. When Sync is Off, the Ducker is linked to the dry signal and will lower the wet FX when the dry signal is playing. With Sync ON, the ducker syncs to quarter notes on the DAW's grid, effectively giving you a four-on-the-floor sidechain effect.
• Lift Off: Engages several effects collectively to glue together the wet FX signals. This includes compression, mid-side processing, and some joint EQing.
• Output: Controls the output of the entire effect (wet and dry signals).

• Visual Options: Choose between light mode and dark mode by clicking the top-left icon in the preset bar. Resize the plug-in window by clicking and dragging the stripes on the lower right side.
• Load/Save Preset: Click the preset name for a dropdown list, or click the arrows in the preset bar to navigate between the presets. Spaced Out comes loaded with 125 presets (more below). Click the arrow-up icon on the preset bar to save a preset.
• Initialize: Click the top right icon X to clear all settings and return to the initialization state.
• Bypass: Click the BABY Audio logo to bypass the effect.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the folded length?

A: The Matthews Preemie Baby Stand has a Min / Max Height of 20" / 36".

Q: 2. Can I use this with the Matthews Reverse Stand - 7' (2.1m) ?

A: Yes, the Matthews Telescopic Baby Stand Extension will work on the Matthews Reverse Stand.

Q: 3. Can I put a 5/8' spigot at the top of the extension?

A: Yes.

Q: 4. Can this be used in reverse? As in, using it to attach to a lighting grid when you need to bring lights closer to the ground when hung from a lighting grid

A: Yes you can use this in reverse. It is always important to use a safety cable when you are rigging overhead and you would need to use a safety on it as well as the light.

Q: 5. What is the diameter of the upper most section of this pin?

A: 5/8 or 16mm

Q: 6. Is the 5/8 stud at the top removable/swappable?

A: The top stud is fixed.

Q: 7. What size thread is the knob to secure this to a 5/8 stud? If you were to purchase a replacement knob, what size would you buy?

A: Unfortunately, Impact does not publish the thread size of the locking knob of this header. The knob can be obtained through Impact directly as a replacement part by calling 1-212-594-2120.

Q: 8. Does this affect the payload capacity of a stand since it increases the height? I.e. if the max payload is 5kg for a stand

A: This would depend on the stand this is being used on. If we are using a strong stand such as a C Stand or Stronger like a Combo Stand then this extension would have no affect on Load Capacity. However if we are using a simple aluminum stand which already has a low Load Capacity of 5kg then it would affect the overall Payload of the stand. It would cause the payload to sway which may cause the stand to tip over. If you need the extra height then it would be better to use a lower payload than what the stand was rated for or use Sand Bags on the bottom of the stand to increase stability.

Q: 9. Is this compatible with the Matthews 20" C+ Stand with Turtle Base, Grip Head and Arm Kit (Black)?

A: Yes, the Matthews Telescopic Baby Stand Extension is compatible with the Matthews Century C+ Turtle Base Century Stand - 5.25' Specs.

Q: 10. I am looking for something like this but with a baby plate to mount to the ceiling instead of mounting two parts with a separate baby plate. Do you sell any telescopic extensions with baby plate?

A: If looking to bolt the plate into the ceiling, you may only do so by using a separate baby plate like the Matthews Baby Plate - 3 B&H # MABP3 with this extension.
