Experience the NA501’s capabilities by listening to a demo or viewing the launch presentation at here.
Originally released in 1982, the Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo stood as a pinnacle in Roland’s array of electro-mechanical effects units. This device featured a unique tape recorder mechanism that generated delay effects or ‘echoes,’ combined with a spring reverb and a chorus effect. Its design allowed for a longer tape path, resulting in more extended, cleaner echo sounds. The RE-501 gained acclaim for its vibrant, rich sound quality, famously utilized by artists like Bob Marley for creating deep echoes and Radiohead for their pitch-shifting effects.
The NA501 Chorus Echo represents a modern, digital reinterpretation of the classic Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo, maintaining the intricate balance of mechanical and electronic interactions that characterized one of the most renowned tape delays in history. This re-imagining enhances the original design with contemporary features, improved control, and adaptability for integration into modern digital audio workstations. The NA501 Chorus Echo plugin is not just an emulation; it’s an evolution.
Ideal for infusing rich, analog textures into any music genre, this meticulously crafted plugin stands as a versatile tool for musicians and producers seeking that timeless sound with the ease of modern technology. The NA501 Chorus Echo’s extended creative controls and user-friendly interface enable users to mimic the natural fading of echoes, adding depth and character to their creations.

The desktop version is priced at $29.99, set to increase to $99 post-promotion, while the iOS version is available for $7.99, rising to $14.99 after the promotional period.
