content and slight and uneven volume drop on the repeats due to poor heads alignment, dirt on the medium & wear of the heads etc.). Drum Age emulates the aging of the memory system (pitch modulation from magnetic drum non linear spin due to damaged idler wheel, loss of high end freq. Drum Speed controls the speed of the drum rotation and correlates to delay times from 37 ms on the 1st head up to max. Virtual magnetic drum is controlled by two potentiometers Drum Speed and Drum Age (side trim pot). I designed the algorithm for the processor taking into account all the characteristics of the actual magnetic drum/disc. It also has actual four analogue outputs playback heads coming out from the virtual magnetic drum, which is a DSP processor based.
A number of issues had to be dealed with to make it possible to recreate such a device and a lot of effects happen inside Echorec that had to be recreated: warm tube sound, slight chorusing, vibey effect, all-present reverb (haunting reverb effect, actually) and lush, ethereal repeats that swell and melt into 3D wall of sound endlessly when pushed near self oscillation rather than just fall and die as a dull, muddy, lifeless repeats.Īnother big challenge for me was to cram all those electronics into Hammond B enclosure.īoonar is 100% analogue signal path, designed with discrete components to emulate the same tubes signal path in the real Binson. I'd like to send big hello to all of you fellow musicians! I am glad to see that my new upcoming product gains interest! Boonar is a faithful Binson Echorec emulator with some modern features added - a result of my long years obsession with that magical machine and almost eight months of research and developement. Hi! I am Zoran from Dawner Prince Effects, Croatia.
