1.3 Martinic Lem Echo Music

An Echo from the Past

The Martinic Lem Echo Music plug-in recreates the nostalgic tones of the vintage Italian tape delay effect from Lem.

Martinic’s authentic emulation simulates the classic sound of three playheads on one strip of tape, with all the wonderful wow, flutter, and degradation of the original.

We’ve also added enhanced features not found on the original effect to make this plugin even more customisable when crafting your sound.

The Lem Echo Music is also available as part of the Retro Pack, a collection of Martinic’s grooviest instruments and effects with a bundle discount. If you would like instructions for this plug-in, you can browse through the manual page.

History

During the late 60s and throughout the 70s, the pairing of an electric organ with a tape echo unit was common. Organists such as Lenny Dee modified their organs with a tape delay to add another dimension to their sound. Units like the LEM Echo Music provided organists with the option of sending their low-frequency bass tone to an output of its own, and they could wield tighter control of EQ and delay parameters for each component of their sound.
