In our seventh collaboration with Berlin-based musician Hainbach we listen to the stars: Moon Echo is a free to download delay based on a communications technique that uses our closest cosmic neighbor, the moon, as a reflector for radio waves. This results in some rather crunchy and lively echoes, modulated by the movement of Earth and moon. The moon's surface is an imperfect mirror and creates artifacts, unlike any other echo technique. Moon Echo is both a musical lo-fi effect and a playful tool for teaching about space. Available as AUv3 and Standalone.
Warp
This music app offers creative pitch shifting and time stretching with minimal audio artifacts. It allows independent control of pitch and time for unique sound manipulation, including classic tape-stop effects.
- Artifact-free varispeed control
- Independent pitch and time stretching
- Classic tape-stop effect
- AUv3 compatibility
- Developed with Andrew Huang

Warp is one of the most popular effect modules in Transit 2, our plugin collaboration with Andrew Huang. Now on iOS with full AUv3 compatibility, Warp is available as a free app for creative pitch shift and time stretch effects. Just like the module inside Transit 2, Warp allows you to speed up or slow down audio with fewer artifacts than other plugins. Additionally, use the Stretch knob to control the pitch of your track independently of the time and achieve extreme effects such as slowing audio down while pitching it up. Features: - A clean and artifact-free varispeed control to speed up audio or slow it down to a standstill for a classic Tape-Stop effect. - Use the ‘Stretch’ knob to control pitch independent of time for unhinged audio mangling. - Powered by Transit 2 and developed with Andrew Huang - AUv3 compatibility for use inside your favorite mobile DAW
