Echo Pitch pitch-shifting multi-delay for iPad and iPhone! Echo Pitch has 4 delays where each delayed signal can be pitched one octave up or down in 1/2 steps, and can function as a 4-voice harmonizer. Echo Pitch also has a built-in freeze loop, amp simulator and reverb. Each of the four delays can be routed into the other for incredible, swirling, ambient washes and otherworldly sounds. Echo Pitch works best with an iOS-compatible audio interface. Echo Pitch is also AUM/Audiobus compatible - as Inter-App Audio or Audio Unit. (Please note that the standalone/IAA version of Echo Pitch is now legacy. While the AU Echo Pitch has the same functionality, the pitch shifting is far superior. In addition, there are sonic differences between the Reverb, Master Delay EQ, Delay drives in the AU vs the Standalong/IAA version. But you get both updated AU and legacy IAA. Use whichever you prefer!) Brought to you by Avi Bortnick and Maximos Kaliakatsos-Papakostas.

ANALOGyKIT Virtual Analog Drum Kit (AUv3) Introduction ANALOGyKIT (“analog-ee kit”) is an AUv3 virtual instrument plugin that can run standalone, or in any AUv3 compatible host such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM. Please note that the standalone version does not include a built-in keyboard - you need to connect a suitable MIDI device to play the synth. Please also note that ANALOGyKIT is not a drum machine, so does not have a built-in pattern sequencer. It has been designed as a virtual drum kit / drum module controlled via MIDI, using a separate sequencer plugin or piano roll in a DAW. ANALOGyKIT currently runs on iOS (iPad & iPhone) and macOS (Intel & Silicon) and is available as a Universal Purchase from the Apple App Store. If you’re planning on using ANALOGyKIT on Mac / desktop, please ensure that your favourite DAW / host supports AUv3 (not just AU). NOTE - ANALOGyKIT uses the same synthesis engine as ANALOGyDR so you can think of ANALOGyKIT as 8 x ANALOGyDR, plus pitch-sweepable oscillators, lo-fi bit-crushing, dedicated per-voice effects and a master / mixer section. Design Overview ANALOGyKIT is an 8 voice virtual analog drum synthesizer, i.e. it does not use samples. The design is based on the sound engines in early analog drum machines for the late 1970’s and early 80’s. Each voice comprises two tuneable pitched oscillators (with sweep), two noise sources and a variable mode filter with envelope. A lo-fi bit-crushing effect can also be applied to each voice independently. All eight voices have their own dedicated tempo-sync delay and reverb with gate effect. The master output section includes an 8 channel stereo mixer and simple one-knob controls for compression, limiting and clipping. Presets ANALOGyKIT comes with factory presets for Kits and individual Drums, and user presets can be saved or loaded using the OS file system browser. New Kits can be generated automatically by combining sounds randomly from existing factory Drum and Kit presets.

Verdict
Echo Pitch and ANALOGyKIT both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Echo Pitch's written reviews are positive against 0% of ANALOGyKIT's. Echo Pitch also leads on chart position (#180 vs unranked) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). ANALOGyKIT's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
