Magnetic Echo is a vintage-inspired multi-head tape delay and spring reverb effect for iPhone and iPad, built for warm echoes, ambient trails, dub feedback, and evolving analog textures. Inspired by classic tape echo machines of the 1970s, Magnetic Echo combines the movement and imperfections of magnetic tape with the flexibility of a modern AUv3 plugin. TAPE DELAY Three playback heads create layered and rhythmic repeats, from short slapback echoes to spacious multi-head patterns. SPRING REVERB A dedicated spring tank with adjustable decay and tone, for that unmistakable splashy, metallic space. WOW & FLUTTER Real tape isn't perfect — subtle pitch drift and mechanical wobble give every repeat organic character. FEEDBACK & SATURATION Push the feedback path from gentle repeats into self-oscillation, with saturation adding color and character on every pass. FROM DUB TO AMBIENT Create warm guitar echoes, psychedelic textures, washed-out ambient trails, rhythmic delays, and dub-style feedback. HOST READY Works as an AUv3 Audio Unit plugin inside AUM, Audiobus, GarageBand, Cubasis, Logic Pro for iPad, and any other AUv3-compatible host. %100 FREE No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.
