Echo Cube is a dual delay inspired by the Cooper Time Cube, a rare analog unit that created echo using long coiled tubes instead of tape or electronic circuits. The delay time was defined by the physical travel of sound through air. Echo Cube recreates and expands this concept with two independent delay lines, each with time, feedback, and level controls. Choose between Time Cube for authentic hardware tone, or the experimental Garden Hose and Corrugated models for creative sound design. Flexible routing modes including serial, parallel, ping pong, mono sum, and mid side give you full control over delay interaction and stereo image shaping.

Capture the gritty, coveted sound of the iconic early-2000s "303" phrase sampler right inside Logic, GarageBand, or your favorite Audio Unit host — or standalone on your iOS device. LP-33 Sim is a deeply researched audio unit plugin featuring 9 painstakingly reverse-engineered effects, headlined by the prized Vinyl Simulation processor. Countless hours of A/B testing, spectral analysis, and machine-learning-assisted matching went into replicating the exact sonic character of Vinyl Sim and the other choice effects. From the aggressive, pumping compression that practically defines lo-fi hip-hop, to the warm wow-and-flutter and authentic dust and crackle, LP-33 Sim delivers the true gold standard of beatmaking. LP-33 Sim takes several of the original effects further by adding full stereo widening for modern production workflows. Wrapped in a beautifully nostalgic interface that harks back to the golden era of hardware samplers, it brings the authentic warmth, quirk, and crunch that defined a generation — even if you've never touched the original hardware. Key Features: • The Ultimate Vinyl Sim: A painstakingly faithful replication of the hardware's legendary ducking compression, pitch flutter, crackling, and lo-fi grit. • 9 Meticulously Replicated Effects: Vinyl Sim, Flanger, Chorus, Lo-Fi, Isolator, Pitch, FilterDrive, and Radio (303 AM and a unique FM circuit with broadcast-like compression and widening) • Modern Stereo Enhancements: Classic mono effects expanded for wide, modern stereo fields • ML-Assisted Precision: Exacting sonic matching built through rigorous spectral analysis and A/B listening tests. • Retro Interface: An intuitive, hardware-inspired UI that feels instantly familiar.
