Introduction
Echobode is a plugin by Sonic Charge that combines a delay effect with a frequency shifter placed inside the feedback loop. The frequency shifter algorithm is inspired by the classic Bode Frequency Shifter (named after its inventor Harald Bode), which shifts the audio spectrum linearly, creating inharmonic overtones. This effect can produce metallic bell timbres, but putting it inside a delayed feedback loop opens up many other possibilities, such as phasing, chorus, reverb, flanging, tremolo, gating, ring modulation, and more.

Echobode is available as a VST/AU plugin for Windows and Mac, as well as a Reason Rack Extension. You can download a free trial version from Sonic Charge's website, or buy the full version for $53. To use Echobode in your DAW, simply insert it as an effect on any audio track or bus, and start tweaking the parameters to shape your sound. You can also browse through the extensive preset library that comes with Echobode, which showcases the versatility and creativity of this plugin.
Basic parameters
Echobode has a simple and intuitive user interface that consists of two main sections: the top part has all the parameters for the delay and frequency shifter, while the bottom part has the LFO and modulation options. Let's take a look at each parameter in detail.
Delay time and feedback
The delay time knob sets the length of the delay in milliseconds, from 0 to 1000 ms. You can also sync the delay time to your host tempo by clicking on the sync button next to the knob, which will change the display to note values from 1/64T to 4/1D. The feedback knob sets the amount of signal that is fed back into the delay loop, from 0% to 100%. Higher feedback values will create more repeats and longer tails.
Frequency shift and sideband mix
The frequency shift knob sets the amount of frequency shifting applied to each repeat, from -4000 Hz to +4000 Hz. Positive values will shift the spectrum upwards, while negative values will shift it downwards. The sideband mix knob sets the balance between the upward-shifted (upper) sideband and the downward-shifted (lower) sideband, from 0% to 100%. At 0%, only the upper sideband is heard, while at 100%, only the lower sideband is heard. At 50%, both sidebands are mixed equally.
Smear and anti-reflection
The smear knob sets the amount of phase smearing applied to each repeat, from 0% to 100%. This creates a reverb-like effect by blurring the transients and spreading the spectrum of the signal. The anti-reflection knob sets the amount of suppression of negative frequencies (frequencies that are shifted down beyond 0 Hz) and frequencies above half the sample rate (Nyquist), from 0% to 100%. This reduces aliasing artifacts and unwanted reflections in the output.
Phase shift and low-pass filter
The phase shift knob sets the amount of stereo phase shifting applied to each repeat, from -180 degrees to +180 degrees. This creates a stereo widening effect by shifting the phase of the left and right channels in opposite directions. The low-pass filter knob sets the cutoff frequency of a 12 dB/octave low-pass filter applied to each repeat, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This creates a high-frequency damping effect by rolling off the high frequencies of the signal.
LFO and modulation
The LFO section allows you to modulate the delay time, frequency shift, and phase shift parameters with a low-frequency oscillator. The LFO has four waveforms to choose from: sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square. The LFO rate knob sets the frequency of the LFO, from 0.01 Hz to 10 Hz. You can also sync the LFO rate to your host tempo by clicking on the sync button next to the knob, which will change the display to note values from 1/64T to 4/1D. The LFO depth knob sets the amount of modulation applied to the selected parameter, from 0% to 100%. You can select which parameter to modulate by clicking on the corresponding button below the LFO section: delay, freq, or phase.
Creative uses
Echobode is a very versatile and creative plugin that can be used for a variety of sound design purposes. Here are some examples of how you can use Echobode to create some interesting effects in your music production.
Creating metallic bells and plucks
One of the most characteristic sounds of Echobode is the metallic bell timbre that is created by shifting the frequency spectrum linearly. You can create this effect by using a short delay time (around 10 ms), a high feedback value (around 80%), and a positive frequency shift value (around 1000 Hz). You can also adjust the sideband mix, smear, and anti-reflection parameters to fine-tune the sound. This effect works well with percussive or plucked sounds, such as drums, guitars, or synths. Here is an example of how Echobode can transform a simple synth pluck into a metallic bell sound:
<audio controls> <source src="" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio>
The first part is the dry synth pluck, and the second part is the same pluck processed with Echobode. Creating swirling reverbs and delays
Echobode can also create lush and spacious reverbs and delays by using a longer delay time (around 500 ms), a moderate feedback value (around 50%), and a small frequency shift value (around 10 Hz). You can also modulate the delay time, frequency shift, and phase shift parameters with the LFO to create some movement and variation in the sound. This effect works well with pads, vocals, or any sound that needs some ambience and depth. Here is an example of how Echobode can transform a dry vocal into a swirling reverb:
<audio controls> <source src="" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio>
The first part is the dry vocal, and the second part is the same vocal processed with Echobode. Creating glitchy and granular effects
Echobode can also create glitchy and granular effects by using a very short delay time (around 1 ms), a high feedback value (around 90%), and a large frequency shift value (around 2000 Hz). You can also modulate the delay time, frequency shift, and phase shift parameters with the LFO to create some randomness and chaos in the sound. This effect works well with noisy or complex sounds, such as drums, synths, or vocals. Here is an example of how Echobode can transform a drum loop into a glitchy and granular effect:
<audio controls> <source src="" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio>
The first part is the dry drum loop, and the second part is the same loop processed with Echobode.
Creating pitch-shifting and ring modulation effects
Echobode can also create pitch-shifting and ring modulation effects by using a moderate delay time (around 100 ms), a low feedback value (around 10%), and a large frequency shift value (around 4000 Hz). You can also adjust the sideband mix, smear, and anti-reflection parameters to fine-tune the sound. This effect works well with harmonic or melodic sounds, such as guitars, synths, or vocals. Here is an example of how Echobode can transform a guitar riff into a pitch-shifting and ring modulation effect:
<audio controls> <source src="" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio>
The first part is the dry guitar riff, and the second part is the same riff processed with Echobode.
Conclusion
Echobode is a powerful and creative plugin that can create a wide range of sound design effects, from subtle phasing and chorus to metallic bells and drones. By combining a delay effect with a frequency shifter placed inside the feedback loop, Echobode offers a unique way of manipulating the audio spectrum and creating inharmonic overtones.

FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions about Echobode and their answers:
What is the difference between Echobode and a normal delay effect?
A normal delay effect simply repeats the input signal with a certain time interval and feedback amount. Echobode adds a frequency shifter inside the feedback loop, which changes the frequency spectrum of each repeat, creating inharmonic overtones and complex timbres.
What is the difference between Echobode and a normal frequency shifter?
A normal frequency shifter shifts the input signal linearly, creating two sidebands: an upper sideband that is shifted upwards, and a lower sideband that is shifted downwards. Echobode adds a delay effect before and after the frequency shifter, creating a feedback loop that allows the signal to be shifted multiple times, creating more sidebands and harmonics.
What is the difference between Echobode and a normal pitch shifter?
A normal pitch shifter shifts the input signal logarithmically, preserving the harmonic relationships of the signal. Echobode shifts the input signal linearly, breaking the harmonic relationships of the signal. This creates more dissonant and metallic sounds.
How can I use Echobode as an insert or send effect?
You can use Echobode as an insert effect by placing it directly on an audio track or bus, and adjusting the mix knob to blend the wet and dry signals. You can use Echobode as a send effect by creating an aux track or bus, placing Echobode on it, setting the mix knob to 100% wet, and sending any track or bus to it with a send level knob.
How can I save, load, and share presets with Echobode?
You can save your own presets by clicking on the save button on the top left corner of Echobode. You can load your own or factory presets by clicking on the load button on the top left corner of Echobode. You can share your presets with other users by exporting them as .ech files from the load menu, and importing them from the same menu. dcd2dc6462
