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.

Read full description

Put every sound in its place. How Far? is an AUv3 mixing effect that makes spatial placement and perceived distance easy to control. Move across the XY pad to position or widen a sound, then move vertically to bring it forward or push it deeper into the mix. How Far? combines level, tone, presence, transient softening, reflections, diffusion and stereo cues to create a natural sense of depth. Use it to: • Create separation between instruments • Bring important parts forward • push supporting sounds behind the lead • Place sounds across the stereo field • Add width without losing control • Build depth without stacking multiple plug-ins Choose from Pan, Width, Space, Wide+ and Angle modes. Fine-tune each distance component on the Details page, or start quickly with the included presets. Use How Far? as an AUv3 effect in compatible hosts, or capture, audition and export audio in the standalone app.
