Prep Zero ZT Echo - Echo Maker

Usually I use David Sky’s “bouncing ball” effect plug-ins, but I’ve always been
disappointed when “extra” space is created due to wrong delay times being
entered. For instance, several seconds of silence.

To counteract this, I created this plug-in, which is capable of doing forward
and reverse bouncing ball effects, regular delay effects, and also has the
ability to add orginal audio to the front (a post echo) or end (a pre echo),
and thus (hopefully) can give room to some unique effects (although not
particularly useful for creating delay/reverb effects).

To counteract the “blank space” of most delay plugins, the user enters
delay times based on percentages of the length of selected audio. Also,
some auto-Threshold features are implemeted to keep the “blank silence”
from accidently occurring.

Here’s the documentation chart/spreadsheet I used in developing
this plug-in, thought it might be helpful to beginner programmers.

Interesting to note, I ended up making lists of delay times as I
wanted the plug-in to check for output lengths (I hate hangs
and crashes especially when users might misenter data while
composing something). As the module Prep 02 does the
checking, I thought, “why not just make a list of delay times”.
A few lines of code were saved…
