Electro Harmonix 64 second Delay

NEW YORK - Electro-Harmonix, always a leader in solid-state delay units beginning with the first analog delay for musicians, the Memory Man, announces their latest achievement, the 64 Second Digital Looping Recorder.

This rack-mountable unit is the "big brother" of Electro-Harmonix' 16 Second Digital Delay. It has all of the functions of the smaller unit - built-in click track, sound-on-sound recording with Infinite Hold, reverse playback, double (or half) speed capability, digital chorus and flanging - plus these new features:

The maximum delay time is now 64 seconds - four times as long as the smaller unit. This means that full bandwidth (15Hz to 12kHz) is possible at 8 seconds.

The minimum delay time can go to virtually zero. This gives the user the ability to set precise short slap-back echoes. There is a four-digit display of the total loop length, reading from 8.00 seconds to 64.00 seconds, an Echo Tap Control providing short echoes that can be in time with the beats of a rhythm machine. These short echoes can be "frozen" in and made part of much longer echo loops that can be overlapped. The dual-purpose display of 10 LED's simultaneously shows the echo tap setting and the actual progress through the loop, while Fast Erase button records silence throughout the entire memory in just four seconds so that new material can be quickly recorded. This feature is automatically activated when the power is turned on.

The clock of one Recorder can control the clocks of several other units. This allows for parallel track recording on separate units and the Rhythm Unit Clock Out has a "flywheel" circuit which lets you synch up with rhythm units having only a Clock Input. This will work with units that require 12, 16, 24 or 32 pulses per measure, also an extra input allows you to mix in the output of a rhythm machine without recording it.

Physical features include: Power On switch and Fuse; 19" rack-mountable in two standard rack spaces; professional XLR-type connectors for main input and output with signal level compatible with that used in most studios; convenient internal switch to accomodate either 110V or 220V AC current supply; provision to use Electro-Harmonix' six function remote Foot Controller.

Priced at $1195.00 in the U.S.A. the 64 Second Digital Looping Recorder information is available from Electro-Harmonix, (Contact Details).
