Love the sound of vintage plate reverb but don’t have the space — or the steel — to install one? We've got you covered. Our advanced physical modeling engine faithfully recreates the rich, metallic resonance of a classic plate, with full control over size, material, sensor and exciter positions, and damping behavior. Want more character? Run a spring reverb in parallel or series — a modern remake of our original Devil Spring, now streamlined for performance. And for modern producers, ambient creators, and sound designers: freeze and shimmer controls let you sculpt lush textures instantly. One reverb. Endless personality. Features - Physically modeled plate reverb with adjustable size, material, and mic placement - Frequency-dependent damping curve for natural-sounding decay - 38 handpicked spring reverb IRs — cleaned and studio-ready - Built-in shimmer and freeze controls for cinematic ambience - High-efficiency convolution engine optimized for low CPU usage - Preset manager to save, recall, and organize your favorite sounds - MIDI Learn for seamless control from your hardware - Automatic stereo/mono handling — perfect for tracks or the master bus - Dedicated tone shaping for both plate and spring reverbs

EchoSketch turns delay and reverb into a live, playable instrument. Shape your sound in real time using a responsive X/Y performance surface designed for intuitive touch expression. At its core are four great-sounding delays: digital, analog, ping-pong, and reverse. The range for each parameter and the XY axes direction can be set independently, allowing you to easily morph between sounds. It works as an Audio Unit plugin or standalone — iOS or Mac. Comprehensive Delays • Digital (patterned after a legendary '80s rack delay), Analog (warm, with tape-style pitch glide), Reverse, and Left/Right Ping-Pong • Delay times can sync to tempo or be set in milliseconds • Feedback features delay-dependent tone shaping — bright for short delays and darker for long ones Convolution Reverb • Stereo or mono Spring, Plate, and Hall • Reverb path is separate from the delay (same as vintage tape echo units), so repeats don’t get washed out Modulation and Filter • Analog-style modulation for chorused, warbly pitch echoes • Tone control — darken or brighten delays, with a center detent for flat Designed for Hands-On Performance • HOLD / LIFT — leave the XY cursor in place, or touch the pad for momentary delay sounds • FREEZE — set the current feedback into an infinite loop and play over it • MOTION — record a gesture on the XY pad and loop it Presets and More • Presets are transferable between hosts • Two looks — light "Trail" and dark "Glow" • Works standalone with live audio or as an AUv3 plugin • Universal — iPad/iPhone also gets you the Mac version — one purchase • Mac: after installing, open EchoSketch once to use it as a plugin in your DAW • Works in AUM, AudioBus, GarageBand, Logic, and other AUv3 hosts
