Eventide and other stuff > T.C. Electronic TC2290 DYNAMIC DIGITAL DELAY + EFFECTS CONTROL PROCESSOR

TC Electronic co-founders brothers and musicians, Kim and John Rishøj, brought this digital masterpiece to the world in 1985. It's still considered THE STATE OF THE ART in dedicated digital delays and a very much desired and sought after device and has been produced for 20 years. The world needs another TC2290.

Its tone is spectacular, with a Dynamic Differential Conversion at 1 MHz sampling rate and fully analog paths for the dry sound and panning functions. The TC2290 set a number of new features and benchmarks for the digital audio:

expandable delay memory (32/64 seconds)
audio sampler
dynamic functions such as delay level ducking, delay and/or dry signals panning, modulation sensitivity to input dynamics make the TC2290 a true multi-fx, capable of adding delay, chorus, flanging, panning, tremolo, vibrato, ADT, sampling to your tracks
5 audio loops that can be used to add external effects or control switching functions. The loops status can be programmed in each preset
tap tempo delay

It's A LOT of gold for a mono digital delay! Stereo fx are created inverting the audio phase of a channel.

If you get to play one of these jewels, you will want it…and very likely 2 or 3 of them to combine stereo chorusing or ADT with fantastic panning ducked stereo delays.

Its clever user interface, with 13 separate functions dedicated displays and keys areas is an engineering great achievement. Everything is consistently under your eyes!

The TC2290 has been used in thousands of records/CDs. You have heard it so many times.

Along with the H3000, PCM70, TC1210, DynoMyPiano TSC and PCM42, The TC2290 is one of the true legends of effects and guitar racks. You won't believe it until you'll get one in your hands.

Downloads

These high resolution audio clips are recorded at 24bit/96KHz.
The downloadable versions are the original hi-res files. Streaming runs at 320kbps/48KHz resolution.
You *must* use a high quality set of speakers or high end headphones.
Those computer or, worse, laptops squeaking holes won't give justice to the majesty of the TC2290 and respect to your ears!
The TC2290 effects level has been kept high, definitely beefier than in real life performance.
The reason for this is to make the TC2290 superior effects clearly audible.

	600ms PanningDryAnd DuckedModDly	600ms PanningDryAnd DuckedModDly Very similar to the previous clip but delay is now ducked out of the way. You'll hear a panning modulated echo only in playing pauses or when its level stays below a preset threshold. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

TC2290 PRESETS LIBRARY

	500ms MODDLY	500ms MODDLY Standard half a second delay with modulation and nice filtering given by the interaction of audio phases (feedback/signal) with feedback path filters. About 5 repeats here... (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	600ms RANDOM MOD MODDLY_PCM80BIGBANG	600ms RANDOM MOD MODDLY_PCM80BIGBANG Longer modulated delay with random waveform, for unpredictable chorusing. Some feedback added for the shimmer. Very spatial sound. A touch of ambience from the PCM80. Delay spreads it even more. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	ADTWIDE_DL8000RPCM42	ADTWIDE_DL8000RPCM42 Fat and wide Automatic Double Tracking with classic stereo delays to spread it further. Monster gtr effect! (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	CHORUSI	CHORUSI Classic digital TC chorus set on the magic 24 milliseconds value. Many great chorus sounds live there, did you know that? Rich sounding chorus with unbelievable frequency spectrum content. A touch of moddelay added for ambience. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	CHORUSII	CHORUSII Tighter and more animated LFO action here. A little feedback and phase inversion on it. Use this in stereo! Lexi delays make it the perfect modern jazz sound. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	CHORUSPAN_DL8000R DIFF DLYS 500	CHORUSPAN_DL8000R DIFF DLYS 500 Awesome panning stereo chorus with a touch of doppler, if you can hear it. The 12 string FX is definitely here, in this great chorus. Diffused delays add the musical magic. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	COMPRESSED PANNING MODDLY	COMPRESSED PANNING MODDLY Adding panning to a compressed modulated delay is another elegant touch the many powers of the TC2290 can enhance your effect with. It bounces, it pans, it comes and goes, it flutters... all dimensions are covered here... time, pitch, space, level! (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	COMPRESSED VIBROPAN_PCM80 MYSTIC HALL	COMPRESSED VIBROPAN_PCM80 MYSTIC HALL Not a medicine! A panning stereo vibrato rises when your envelope falls. Try hitting a chord and wait... magic TC2290! (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	DUCKPAN DLY_DL8000R TC1210 DUAL	DUCKPAN DLY_DL8000R TC1210 DUAL Delay pans across the stereo field and feeds a nice sounding TC1210 inspired chorus. Very nice classic guitar effects combined. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	EVILDEVIL DLY_PCM80 WIDE SPACE	EVILDEVIL DLY_PCM80 WIDE SPACE A 666 milliseconds delay is where you don’t want to set your echo to or the inevitable is bound to happen! Just kiddin’. This is a very nice medium long delay for musical applications actually. Great on slower tempo and in solo playing. It gives you all the time for the next idea. Just play with it and you’ll know what I mean. The super wide Lexicon reverb adds a bed for the slow floating echoes. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	FLANGER_DL8000R BIOSPHERE	FLANGER_DL8000R BIOSPHERE Awesome slow flanger with high feedback setting. Try playing with INV phases switches and feedback values for more variations. Plus a touch of multitap dlys generated reverb, with very organic texture. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	KEEPTALKING MODDLY_PCM80 MYSTIC HALL	KEEPTALKING MODDLY_PCM80 MYSTIC HALL For the Gilmour fan! You know what I’m talking about. 300 milliseconds is all you need. Spectacular tonal and spatial interaction with this nice PCM80 warm large reverb! (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	LEAD COMBFILTER_PCM80 LARGE PLATE 480L	LEAD COMBFILTER_PCM80 LARGE PLATE 480L We get deep into phase canceling physics here! Comb filter appears at second 6 of the clip. Short delays, very short ones, impose a strong filtering quality on a sound. You can actually use delay to “EQ” a sound. Because the dry and the wet sounds are so close in time, a lot of frequency content will be erased and another will be boosted as a compensation for the ear. This is a technique used by the masters of the very great distorted guitar tones of doom. So you should experiment with delay settings, within 2 or 3 milliseconds at the most, and phase switches. So many flavors are available there. Use lead tones and add just a stereo delay, maybe flanged or chorused. It sounds epic!! (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	LIVE COMFNUMB DLY_PCM80 EL MISTRESS#1	LIVE COMFNUMB DLY_PCM80 EL MISTRESS#1 From the Pulse live recorded version of it. More Gilmour tricks here. A beautiful modulated notch filter from the PCM80 is added here for those floydian classic tones. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	LONG PANDLY_PCM80 LXP1 DARK HALL	LONG PANDLY_PCM80 LXP1 DARK HALL A straight 800 milliseconds delay without modulation, panning across the speakers. Just press the (DELAY) MOD key to add chorusing to it as it’s already preset. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	PANNING SLICED DELAY	PANNING SLICED DELAY Very ambient and inspiring effect for those moody playing moments. Delay comes back thru a steep medium fast tremolo which “slices” its repetitions. Nice and stereo modern effect quite unknown back then... (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	1/4 NOTE @120BPM MODDLY	1/4 NOTE @120BPM MODDLY A way to say this 500 milliseconds delay will work great w/those songs set at that tempo. You can use the LEARN key to tap any song tempo anyway. Spectacular TC2290 delay tones and spatial spread. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	RANDOM PANNING CHORUS_PCM80 C/SIDES DLYS	RANDOM PANNING CHORUS_PCM80 C/SIDES DLYS Here your TC chorus randomly pans across the stereo field with spatial colors given by the phase inversion on one of the output channels. The PCM80 dlys bounce from center to sides for a wider ambience. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	SPREAD FAST LESLIE_PCM80 DLYS	SPREAD FAST LESLIE_PCM80 DLYS A fast leslie-like sound in static spread setting. Dry sound is in your right speaker only. Very large stereo field. A light touch of delays adds the space around it. (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)

	VIBRATO & DRY PANNING	VIBRATO & DRY PANNING Vibrato & dry panning effect requires the TC2290 to provide both signals. Don’t use with a dry signal in parallel unless you can mute it. Vibrato and dry sounds pan in opposite directions. Another way the TC2290 knows to enrich your effects! (download aiff/stream mp3 @320k)
