Free Moon Echo Delay

A sound journey to the moon and beyond

Step into the dark side of the moon with Moon Echo, a free delay effect inspired by a unique communication technique. This innovative tool uses the moon, our cosmic neighbor, as a natural reflector of radio waves. The result: a captivating soundscape filled with crunchy and dynamic echoes, modulated by the constant movement of the Earth and the moon.

Unlike any other delay, Moon Echo embraces the imperfections of the lunar surface, creating artifacts that add a distinctive “lo-fi” character to your audio. This otherworldly plugin serves a dual purpose: it injects a unique sonic flavor into your productions, while also offering a playful way to explore the wonders of space through sound.

Moon Echo supports a wide range of platforms, offering versions for MAC, PC and LINUX in VST, VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP (64-bit only) formats. Additionally, iOS users can explore the cosmos with the AUv3 and Standalone versions of Moon Echo available on the App Store.

Echoing Pauline Oliveros

Composer Pauline Oliveros pioneered the use of the moon as a musical tool. Her work “Echoes from the Moon” explored the moon’s potential as a natural delay line. Moon Echo allows you to experiment with this concept in a simulated way, opening up new creative possibilities.

Beyond the delay

Moon Echo is not limited to being a simple delay. You can use it to:

• Simulate space radio communications: Create realistic sound effects for video games, movies or multimedia projects.
• Explore experimental musical techniques: Research the techniques of Pauline Oliveros and other composers who have used the moon as a source of inspiration.
• Learn about space exploration and telecommunications: Discover how satellite communications and space technology work.
• Add a “lo-fi” touch to your productions: Give your music a vintage and authentic character.

Tips for using Moon Echo

• Start with the transmission setting turned on in Duplex mode: This allows you to send and receive signals from the moon.
• Experiment with Doppler shift, delay time and feedback: Create infinitely modulated soundscapes.
• Use the powder envelope to control the amount of artifacts: Adjust this parameter to obtain the desired sound.
• Switch to simplex mode to simulate radio transmission: Send or receive signals from the moon.
• Press “Ping Moon” to obtain the exact distance to the moon: A curious fact for your projects.
