While performing in Echo mode, press and hold the ON footswitch to activate Infinite Repeats, and regardless of your current REPEATS setting, Volante will crank up the echo regenerations for quickly-building delay feedback. Unleash classic psychedelic delay feedback sounds on command. Fidelity is higher at higher speeds, while lower speeds result in warmer repeats and more pronounced effects from mechanical and media irregularities introduced when turning up the MECHANICS knob. Volante’s SPEED switch selects the speed of the recording media and allows you to run any of Volante’s three magnetic echo machines at half, normal, or double speed.
Volante rewards experimentation, yielding rich, hypnotic, and often unpredictable – but highly musical results. You also get intuitive and responsive hands-on control for sculpting the feedback.
Volante really sings when pushed to extremes! When you turn up Volante’s REPEATS knob, you get all the richly evolving, super-spacey sonic textures you could dream of. By default, all heads are panned center, with Volante still creating a pleasing psychoacoustic stereo image. Volante allows you to set the pan of each head individually for spacious multi-head stereo delays. Independent Stereo Panning for Each Head. The spacing between the heads is continuously variable for the entire travel of the SPACING knob, morphing between the available settings. Volante gives you a SPACING control that is adjustable between Even, Triplet, Golden Ratio (for dense, non-overlapping echoes) and Silver Ratio (for non-overlapping repeats biased toward the quarter note). On some vintage multi-head tape echo machines, the heads were not evenly spaced, which created interesting sonic interactions when multiple heads were set to repeat. Of course, if eight is not enough, MIDI gives you access to 300 preset locations! Variable Head Spacing. The playback/feedback buttons represent preset locations, and you can use the FAVORITE footswitch to recall from or save to any of those eight locations. Instant Access to Eight Presets.Įven without using MIDI, Volante gives you instant access to eight presets. For Volante, we captured this vintage vibe while creating a spring reverb with a gorgeous, gentle character that stands on its own, in addition to enhancing delayed signals. Some of the classic tape echo machines included small integrated spring reverb tanks tuned to limited bandwidth. Turn up the Record Level knob to increase the gain of Volante’s analog class-A JFET input preamp circuit, sending a hot signal with analog warmth to the record head for any amount of saturation you desire. Not only does Volante deliver the warm, luscious delay signals that magnetic echo machines are known for, it is also capable of a high degree of saturation. All of this control allows the creation of interesting and complex rhythmic patterns as well as unique atmospheric delay textures. You can even switch heads into the feedback circuit that are not activated for playback. Independent of playback level, you can switch each head in or out of the feedback circuit.

Set Playback Level and Feedback for Each Head.Įach head’s playback level can be set for full volume, half volume, or off. Dial in any possible sound from the full range of the best vintage drum echo units in conditions ranging from fresh-from-factory to road-worn classic. There were tubes in the input buffer, the signal mixer, the record and playback amplifiers, the tone shaping circuit, and the output mixing circuit.Įvery sonic aspect of our favorite drum echoes has been meticulously reproduced within Volante. This is due in large part to the many tube stages present in the most sought-after units. Magnetic drum echoes are famous for their warmth and for their harmonically rich and saturated sounds. All of this range allows the creation of complex rhythmic patterns as well as reverb-like atmospheric textures. At the center of Volante’s control surface are four delay playback heads with individual feedback, panning, and level controls-delivering unlimited creative options right at your fingertips. Volante provides the full experience and sonic attributes of iconic multi-head echo machines.
