Emulation of Robert Fripp's tape delay effect "Frippertronics": two Revox B-77 in continuous loop. This XL version supposes a complete rewrite of the old Elottronix, and adds a ton of new possibilities:
- Two independent routable delay lines, with a maximum delay time of 80 seconds. Tempo can be synced to host BPM.
- LFO controlled Pan per delay line, with definable Bar Divisions, Pitch and Waveform.
- Two global Pan modes: normal and inverted.
- Rehearsal option: when switched ON, the incoming signal doesn't pass through the delay lines, so you can try different things before inserting them into the loop.
- Biquad-X multimode filter per delay line. This advanced filter has 9 different modes: Low Pass, High Pass, Low Shelf, High Shelf, All Pass, Band Reject, Band Pass CSG, Band PassC0PK and Peak. Optional parameters to control are Gain, Cutoff and Q.
- Tape machine: this module generates tape hiss, which can be pitched up and down.
- Completely automatable via MIDI CC.
- Moderate CPU use (-8% Athlon XP 2400+).
- Includes 8 Presets to give an idea of the effect (4 for sends, 4 for inserts). But what Elottronix XL does can't be covered with presets as you'll discover.

stewart-rtag I love ELOTTRONIX, and now have rigged up a control surface to make it easy to adjust parameters while playing guitar through it. It's a beautiful thing. Two independent tracks of looping. Still exploring the potential, but so far just about the best way for one person to have fun all on their own with a guitar.
The only downside at the moment is that the DECAY control has a bug, which has been noted before. Currently the control does absolutely nothing as far as I can see. So the loops are not able to evolve and fade into something new. They just fill up and with more and more sound. It turns into a quagmire of noise. I Know the designer (Sahul) is aware of this and working on it. Thanks Sahul. When this is fixed the creative scope will be massively increased.
One minor suggestion would be to have all of the parameter lamps show the current status where possible (lit if on). Currently some of the buttons (like REARSAL and PAN MODE seem to work just as a switch button. The light comes on momentarily - the label beside it changes but the lamp goes out. It would be good if the indicator lamp actually showed the status. Much easier to read from a distance. But this is a smaller issue.
When the DECAY function is fixed this will be an awesome plug. I will keep checking for new versions (currently using 1.4
