Galaxy Tape Echo
-
Endless, lush, dub-style delays and psychedelic spring reverb.
In 1973, Roland created the RE-201 Space Echo* — a tape delay/spring reverb system that created warm, warped, unabashedly analog echo effects. From subtle tape textures to mindbending chaos, this iconic contraption can be heard on classic Pink Floyd and David Bowie, to seminal dub sides from King Tubby, Scientist, and Lee “Scratch” Perry.
The Galaxy Tape Echo plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is an exhaustive emulation of the iconic, legendary ’70s unit, and expertly captures the physical behavior of the inspiring hardware, down to its distortion, musical wow and flutter, sci-fi pitch shifting, and real time tweakability.Enthaltene Versionen

Learn how to Add Ambience to Synths
Grammy-winning engineer F. Reid Shippen (Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban) and the Galaxy Tape Echo and AKG BX 20 Spring Reverb plug‑ins.
Space is the Place
Universal Audio has painstakingly captured every quirk and characteristic of this complex device. For example, just like the hardware, you can drive the input hard to add hair to a vocal, or widen a drum bus with fat analog character. Tweak the controls and harness seemingly infinite wow and flutter and pitch shifting combinations — perfect for energizing electric guitars. From rockabilly slapback to hazey trails of swirling delay, the Galaxy Tape Echo is a secret sauce for any source in any genre.
A Faithful Reproduction — Warts and All
The Galaxy Tape Echo keeps the controls of the original hardware, and adds some for modern workflows. Use the original Mode Selector for various head combinations, Repeat Rate for timing control, and Intensity for repeats and self-oscillation. The Echo/Normal switch mutes the signal to the echo, while global Bass and Treble let you season to taste. New features include Tempo Sync, Pan controls for reverb and delay, and Tape Select, for varying delay timbres. By capturing the eccentricities of the original, and adding enhancements along the way, the Galaxy Tape Echo is a tool of infinite creativity.
“The Galaxy Tape Echo plug-in truly recreates all the nuances of the original hardware. Try automating the Delay and Regeneration settings to create those stunning Radiohead-style dub effects.”
– Steve Levine (Culture Club, Beach Boys, Honeyz)
“I've used tape echo units for years to give me that magical ambient wash. Now the Galaxy Tape Echo plug-in delivers all the warmth and grittiness of its original vintage brethren in a solid modern plug-in format.”
– Richard Chycki (Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater)
“The UAD Galaxy Tape Echo gives me great vintage slap delays and reverbs that no other box can produce.”
– Ken Lewis (Drake, Bruno Mars, Jay-Z)
“The reverb emulation in the Galaxy Tape Echo plug-in is just perfect to put behind a lead vocal to give it a bit more excitement and color.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“The new UAD Galaxy Tape Echo plug-in is one of the most organic sounding delays. It will give you tons vintage flavor on electric guitars, synths, and drums.”
– Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Estelle)
“The UAD Galaxy Tape Echo lives on my Moog Rogue. I call it my ‘instant vintage’ preset. I love reinventing my old synths with this thing!”

Great Sounding Plugin

Really Good Plug-In
Sweet sounding plug-in. Sometimes a part needs a little extra something. This can make it just sound better.
M. Fulwider
Get the EP-34 before going for this tape echo!
Ok, don't get me wrong, this is a cool tape delay! If you had never used the EP-34 you would love it! But, the EP-34 IMHO is just WAY cooler sounding. Wait for a big sale on this one to add it to your plugin library! It has its own flavor that can add in certain situations!
G. Sifakis
Amazing emulator!
Space echo was something I've always wanted in my studio but age and prices of the hardwares always kept me thinking it twice! Well this is a problem of the past since I have purchased Galaxy tape echo! Simple to use with virtually limitless possibilities! Really fun to use and experiment with your sounds! Oh! And it sounds amazing!

BEST OF THE BEST
Sounds as good as the original thing, but what else would I expect from UA!

99% am Original
Wir haben die Hardwareversion im Studio- es ist beruhigend das Original schonen zu können und das lästige Tapewechseln fällt auch weg.
Danke UA Team:)A. Holbert

opinion
Hello,
all ok but only Galaxy Tape Echo and The Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor didn't appear in my ProTools 11.
Lexicon 224, and others, yes.
PavelJ. Janev
My favorite tape echo!
It sounds like a real tape with those pitch and glitch movements! I usually set the delay slightly to the left and the reverb to the right - this gives a very nice space to the sound. And since it can't be set to a very long delay, I put another plugin before it with an extra delay to achieve slower repeats. The sound is so real!
G. Rostock
Total waste of money
Went back to the free Ableton echo, as this has no tail and really is just a bright reverb.
