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

Read full description

EverSpace is an algorithmic reverb designed for creating enormous spaces, evolving ambience and richly modulated echoes. Built upon the CloudSeed engine by Ghost Note Audio, its architecture draws inspiration from the algorithmic studio reverbs of the 1980s, where networks of delays and diffusion were used to create spaces that extended far beyond the limits of the physical world. Rather than attempting to recreate a particular room, hall or vintage hardware unit, EverSpace embraces the more creative possibilities of algorithmic reverb. Dense diffusion, multiple delay stages and extensive modulation allow sounds to bloom into vast, constantly moving environments — from spacious reflections and drifting echoes to seemingly endless atmospheric tails. At more extreme settings, EverSpace becomes much more than a conventional reverb. Simple sounds can be transformed into thick evolving pads, shimmering textures and expansive ambient soundscapes, with subtle variations within the reverb network ensuring that the resulting space remains alive and in motion. EverSpace can be used as a traditional send or insert effect, but it is at its best when treated as a creative sound-design tool where the reverb itself becomes part of the sound. Features ○ CloudSeed algorithmic reverb engine — a sophisticated multi-stage architecture inspired by classic algorithmic studio reverbs. ○ Early reflection and diffusion network — control density, delay, modulation and feedback to shape the initial character of the space. ○ Extensive late-reverb section — create everything from diffuse ambience to enormous, slowly evolving reverb tails. ○ Deep modulation — independently shape the movement of diffusion and delay stages for lush, animated spaces. ○ Multi-tap delay stage — adds rhythmic reflections, echoes and additional complexity before the main reverb network. ○ Integrated equalisation — low and high frequency shaping plus filtering to sculpt the colour and decay of the reverb. ○ Seed controls — regenerate the internal delay and diffusion structures to produce different variations from the same settings. ○ Interpolation modes — alter the behaviour and character of the internal delay network. ○ Real-time visualisation — waveform and frequency displays provide visual feedback as sounds enter and evolve through EverSpace.
