How to use PCM WAV Delay and Echo Generator

Create a finite delay effect from the original signal. The first echo uses the wet gain; later echoes multiply that gain by successive powers of feedback. An explicit tail is retained for the requested echo count.

  1. Select a supported WAV and choose delay plus echo count.
  2. Choose dry gain, first-echo gain and feedback; negative feedback alternates later echo polarity.
  3. Run and inspect the actual echo gains and global scale before downloading.

Good to know

  • Local ordinary little-endian RIFF/WAVE, signed 16-bit mono or stereo PCM only; compressed, float and extensible WAV are rejected.
  • Each input is at most 10 MiB, 120 seconds and 2,880,000 frames. Output is bounded by the same frame/duration limits and 20 MiB; high sample rates reduce available duration.
  • Processing uses a local Worker with a 2-second compute deadline. No upload, autoplay, microphone or saved history. Unrelated metadata is omitted from exports.
  • This finite feed-forward echo is not an infinite feedback loop, room simulation or reverb model.
  • At most 12 echoes and 30 million sample visits across the two output passes; long or high-rate files may need fewer echoes. The tail is included even when a chosen gain is zero.

Common questions

How are successive echo levels calculated?

Echo 1 uses wet. Echo 2 uses wet × feedback. Echo 3 uses wet × feedback², continuing for the chosen count.

Does feedback change the original sound?

The original uses only dry gain. Echo gains and optional global overload scaling are reported separately.
