About

TfxEcho

This audio plugin offers a warm, dark echo effect inspired by analog delay units. It allows for adjustable delay times, feedback, and filters, with modulation capabilities and tempo syncing. The plugin captures high-frequency signals for a versatile sound.

Highlights
  • Echo and delay effect
  • BBD-inspired delay lines
  • Adjustable delay time (20-1200 ms)
  • Feedback control (0-100%)
  • Low-pass and high-pass filters
  • Modulation rate and width
  • Tempo sync

TfxEcho is an echo effect AudioUnit Extension plugin. It uses delay lines which are inspired by BBD (bucket brigade device). BBD is used in various analog delay unit and is known for its warm and dark sound. The delay line uses fixed length buffer and an artificial clock to sample input signal in variable sampling rate. When the delay time is changed, the delay line can produce pitch change effect which is similar to the behavior of the BBD based analog delay unit. The delay line is inspired by BBD, but it is not emulation of the any particular BBD. Unlike the typical BBD based delay unit, frequency range of the delay line is not limited. The delay line is capable to capture signal in higher frequency up to about 22KHz. Features AudioUnit Extension - Delay Time: From 20 ms to 1200 ms - Feedback: From 0 % to 100 % - Adjustable lowpass filter and high-pass filter. - Modulation rate: From 0.01 Hz to 10 Hz - Modulation width: From 0 ms to +/- 10 ms - Delay time can be synced to tempo provided by the host application. Host Application Host application uses system audio input as an audio source and processed audio signal is routed to the system audio output.

About

resonatedo

This audio effect app allows for microtonal music creation with two independent resonator banks. Each resonator offers customizable pitch, volume, and modulation, with advanced filter controls and a mix slider for signal blending. It supports external MIDI input and features a detailed UI with multiple keyboard options.

Highlights
  • Dual microtonal resonator banks
  • Independent pitch, volume, and modulation control
  • Advanced filter and color parameters
  • Detailed keyboard UI with note information
  • MIDI input support
  • Mix control for dry/processed signal

resonatedo is a microtonal resonator bank audio effect for iOS and macOS. It contains two sets of resonators controlled by separate keyboards. Each resonator has independent pitch (set by EDO division value of the keyboard), volume and modulation. Each resonator is a delay with feedback that contains lowpass + allpass and bandpass filters. Each set has a common "color" parameter that changes balance between these filter sets in each single resonator. The "mix" control allows crossfade from dry to fully processed signal. UI features two independent keyboards with: • 4 – 72 keys (voices, steps) per octave, each with its own ring modulator • maximum polyphony equal to the number of voices; max polyphony is 144 voices • 1 – 4 octave range, covering the frequency range of about 8 – 4200 Hz • display with note number (from C), note name, frequency (in Hz), and deviation from 12-TET (in cents) • two sections per keyboard: upper for non-sustained notes, gliding, and velocity; lower for sustained notes and modulation rate • mute button to stop/start all sound • delete/panic button to erase all notes • glide button for smooth sweeps across keyboard frequency range • modulation on/off button • slider to set initial velocity and modulation levels • slider to change velocity and modulation rates for all notes on the keyboard proportionally and to show current velocity and mod rate levels • button to toggle keyboard visibility. resonatedo supports MIDI input from external sources to control each keyboard independently.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: TfxEcho at every 3 months against resonatedo's every 40 months. TfxEcho also leads on chart position (#185 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.0). resonatedo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and price ($3.99 vs $4.99). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

TfxEcho costs $4.99 and resonatedo $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

resonatedo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of TfxEcho's written reviews are positive against 75% of resonatedo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TfxEcho ships an update every 3 months, resonatedo every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
