Nomad Factory today proudly announces the release of ECHOES, a new Analog Echo Box plug-in designed to reproduce the warmth and richness of classic vintage delay effects. ECHOES faithfully models the greatest delay units of all time...

Following the philosophy behind Nomad Factory's hit MAGNETIC plug-in, ECHOES not only sounds amazing, but it is designed to be very easy to use. Unlike many other delay plug-ins that have dozens of unnecessary knobs and confusing parameters, ECHOES has captured the essence of the original effects by keeping it simple. With the turn of a few knobs, the plug-in delivers musical results and instant analog delay satisfaction!

Until May 15, 2011, ECHOES will be sold at introductory price of only $49 (MSRP $129). ECHOES can also be purchased with MAGNETICS in an exclusive bundle offer called "Magnetic Bundle" which is also promoted at introductory price of only $99 (MSRP $158).

The UFX features an integrated recorder for all inputs and outputs directly to USB memory devices at up to 2 TB.
Live concerts, band rehearsals or spontaneous jam sessions can be recorded and played from the medium. Individual channels can be chosen for recording and the playback afterwards.
The UFX records the pure input signals as well as the processed mixer outputs in any combination. The channels to be recorded can be selected directly at the unit or comfortably in TotalMix FX. Playback supports up to 30 channels, either into the UFX outputs or the mixer inputs, enabling a post-processing of the audio data.

The UFX also plays back standard wav files that had been copied to the USB memory externally. For all this to work comfortably and safe the Recorder has been integrated not only into the unit, but also as addition into TotalMix FX.
