UltraTap.

UltraTap works like a tape echo fitted with as many playback heads as you want: up to 64 taps spaced across a length you set by hand or sync to the session. The Ribbon glides between two settings of whichever controls you choose, and the HotSwitch jumps to an alternative setting, so a plain echo can bloom into a swell or a reverb mid-phrase. Its multi-tap design first appeared on Eventide's SP2016 rack processor in the early 1980s. Activation needs an iLok account but no dongle.
