Cooler than a cool thing
Occasionally, an app arrives that has so much right on release, it deserves 5 stars. Yes, friends, this is one such app. If the kind of FX this does compliments the kind of music you make, then do not hesitate. Within minutes I had something going with it that sounded like the afterlife of Bob Marley!

Contacted dev twice
I’ve been beta testing apps for over 13 years so I always contact the developer before I leave a poor review. I’ve contacted them twice and I didn’t even get a quote. We will get back with you email” or “we are busy working on the problem”email. I received nothing. I’m using a few different iPads and yes, the app actually shows the entire app on the iPad, but you can’t use it as a standalone whatsoever. They were supposed to address this in the last update, but it wasn’t.
Then, I contacted them because when I use it on my 13 pro max, you can’t see the entire screen. You can’t scroll to the left or the right it’s just cut off.
The wave files do not work in standalone app. The wave files that they have and the wave files that you import do not work. again, this was supposed to be addressed in the last update which I contacted them twice in a month and heard nothing.
This actually was one of my favorite tape delay apps, but it’s gone into my ‘unsuable’ folder on both my iPhone and my five iPads. If the developer ever gets back with me, then I will most certainly change my review. I’m just a little disgusted at the moment.

Awsome
Super echo unit. Very responsive developper. Has now even included the ability to choose input and output in stand alone mode.
Great App but BEWARE APPLE UPDATES!
This app is crazy fun and great for live performance.
After updating my iPad to iOS 16.3, the app no longer works.
Thanks again Apple, you really want to kill 3rd party content don’t you? It would be different if APPLE came out with an amazing echo app like RE-1, but the best they can come up with is the absolute WORST ever DAW, aka Grabage Band.
Luckily, I still have an OLD iPad that can run this very cool app.

Great effect, but UI is too heavy
I got iPad Pro (2018 10.5 model), and when loading (opening the UI instance) the plugin is giving too many cracking noises to be able to adjust the parameters. If you close the UI (having plugin still active) the cracklings go away. But, this makes the plugin unusable. This happens under very minimal load, so I think the UI might have a bug of some sort. Tried it in Beatmaker 3, Cubasis, ApeMatrix, NanoStudio and AUM. If it worked - clear 5 star effect.
As a possible fix, maybe remove that tape animation thingy or toggle it on/off in settings? If you make a “compact” (as in not full screen) version with just the knobs, I’m pretty sure that would fix this problem. Because the RE-1 itself running in background (without the active window) doesn’t eat up more CPU than other comparable plugins.
That said, for those considering buying this plugin, if you’re someone who doesn’t mind freezing tracks or uses a handful of plugins/fx, this app is very good in terms of actual fx and sound quality. One of the best tape delays I’ve tried, in fact. The 3-star is for people like myself who like to use several plugins in their projects, and for that it’s very heavy so I stopped using it.

Fantastic support from Kai. Big thanks!
Had a few issues getting this working in AUM. Kai was super helpful helping me troubleshoot and get it working. The delay sounds amazing, really captures the flavor classic tape delays with plenty of setting the tweak away at a craft whatever sound you need.
Not sure it’s all that.
I’m experiencing some crackling and pops whenever I’m trying to adjust the knobs. Also, the knobs seem to have some sort of delay in their response which I don’t dig. Some of the interface buttons are way too small and hard to press even when the window is maximized in AUM. Weird scaling when iPad is held vertically.
Sonically, I don’t like any of the stereo effects in it, they still sound pretty narrow to me. The sound tends to be quite “dry” in its character, I’d say it is 180 from what the real tape introduces.
Overall quite disappointed by this purchase.

Roland RE201 miracle as an ios plugin
I have owned and loved a Roland RE201 Space Echo. I am obsessed with the thickness of its tape saturation and warmth. While most tape emulators create distortion, lo fi and wow / flutter,
I generally have not been able to replicate the thickness and warmth of my 1970s unit. Perhaps it’s a combination of the solid state transformers as well as the tape.
In any case, RE1 is the closest I have found, in overall sound character, to my analogue beast. This is for both ios and osx. Buy it with confidence and enjoy a time machine to worlds gone by.
Thanks and gratitude. Awesomeness,
