The Korena take

Echolocator is a desktop stereo delay and reverb processor with left/right 1/4-inch I/O and a 4 ms to 4-second delay range. Hands-on controls let you adjust repeats, modulation, filters, feedback, and mix as you work. Tap tempo and MIDI clock support tempo-based setups, while Freeze, shimmer, and stereo or ping-pong options extend the delay into sustained and wide-moving treatments. Preset save and recall, adjustable morphing, USB backup, and MIDI control make it practical for prepared sounds and live changes.
