Pulse Colour Module

Overview 

A Textured Echo Deck for Chroma, Mister Focus, & DIYRE Colour

We absolutely love the way that real analog tape echo and slapback can add depth and dimension to a vocal or guitar track. A subtle dose can integrate a dry source into the space of the mix like nothing else. We use this simple effect so much that we knew we had to capture the sound of our trusty Otari 1/4' 2-track echo deck and miniaturize all those motors and tape heads for the Colour format.

If you push hard Pulse pushes back with saturated grit, enhancing the texture of the echo. By means of an internal jumper you can choose to set up Pulse as an insert or send effect. Onboard trimpots give you control over Echo Time and Repeats. An Echo Mix trimpot controls the mix of echo summed with the dry signal when used as an insert effect. In 'Wet' mode the dry signal is disabled and the output is 100% wet for use as a send effect. Did we mention? We also tweaked the frequency contour so it sits in the mix perfectly every time.

About Colour

Colour is an exciting new modular platform for creating your own custom analog signal chains. The ever-growing family of modules allows you to bring multiple stages of high end analog processing to your setup a la carte.

The Colour platform consists of Colours and Palettes. Colours are ultra-compact, swappable analog circuit blocks that snap into the Palette, and impart various types of analog color such as distortion, saturation, compression, and even echo. The Palette provides input and output controls, power, and support circuitry for up to three Colour modules.

Currently, the Palette is available as a 500 Series unit from DIY Recording Equipment. In the near future there will be rackmount and Eurorack versions of the Colour Palette as well.
