.... I have at last found the correct echo for Midnight which is the '0' setting with LEVEL=11, RED=6 YELLOW=9 WHITE=5 - It's spot on ! Happy days . . . . . .

Hi Dave
If I'm reading the etap2hw documentation right that would be a single tap echo from head 6 with FB from the same - but it doesn't sound to me like that in your demo in the other thread?

I don't have documents to read Erik, I found that particular patch, listened and heard the same sound that I could hear on the record so I used it - I hadn't heard that patch on any of the other machines I own as it is an unusual one and it seemed to match the echo on the old Shadows recording of Midnight and felt right when I played it. if you say that it isn't correct, then don't use it, but it works for me.

Erik,
Selection '0' could be '1' pending the kind of BCD selector starting at 000 or 001, it's also possible that you're looking at outdated data...I'll check it soon. -Piet

I used the '0' setting as I had noticed that it was the Meazzi Echomatic 'J' bank. I found the Apache echo and then began to scroll through the remaining head options in that bank, thus coming across the one that gives the Midight sound.
Because I know that this was the machine being used at that time, it was pretty clear to my ears that this was most probably the right setting - simples !

BCD switch starts at '0'.
Dave, this is just the start of things with this unit........
There is already an automation kit with LCD display so it becomes like the Q units whereby patches can be saved but this costs one and a half times the cost of the kit
in the first place. ( I might just get one.)
It would also be relatively easy to use a larger, sloping front, backlit enclosure for stage use complete with foot pedal.
All these things are possible - at a price.

Because the basic unit does the business then it has to be worth discussion!
Would you mind checking out the possibilities and work out a final price for those things you mention Ecca?

[ecca]

Certainly will Dave.......

As Danny returned my Atlantis yesterday, I'm going into my studio to do a serious A/B test between it and the Etap - I have a feeling that the Etap will sound 99% the same.
