This is a demo of the vintage FX unit from Viscount ER-256. This is a digital unit from the 80's, quite rare and which was intended to be used with organs. There is a mono input and stereo outputs. We have an input level control, an output level control, dry/wet mix control, a selector for the FX and a selector for variation around each FX.

In this demo, I'm running a "rock" beat from a Casio MT-25 through the unit with a 50% setting on the mix potentiometer.

I'm going through each FX with its 16 variations during all the demo.

Please note that there are sometimes some spitting in sound, this is due to the potentiometers, I fix this problem after the recording (not logical, I agree) and there is not spitting now...

FX list :

1. SMALL ROOM
2. MEDIUM ROOM
3. LARGE ROOM
4. MEDIUM HALL
5. LARGE HALL
6. CHAMBER
7. PLATE
8. GATE
9. REVERSE
10. REGEN LONG
11. REGEN MEDIUM
12. LONG DELAY
13. MEDIUM DELAY
14. SHORT DELAY
15. MULTI TAP
16. MULTI EFX

Gate, Reverse, Chamber and plate are particularly interesting as reverbs and multi tap is a very cool delay since it has different "patterns" of delaying in each of its 16 variations.

Enjoy !

A melting pot of vintage analog synthesizers, modified or circuit bent old Casio and Yamaha keyboards, rare drum machines and some more new gear to make uncategorized electronic music. Somewhere between melodic world and sound effects world...
