WHY ECHO BEACH
Most samplers make you choose: simple or powerful. Echo Beach is both.
Echo Beach breaks this trade-off with intelligent features that work like you think:
- Reversed samples auto-remap to maintain musical timing
- Slices become MIDI notes automatically
- Groove applies musically, not mechanically
- Everything happens in real-time with near-zero latency
Perfect for
- Beat makers capturing inspiration anywhere
- Producers sketching before studio sessions
- Musicians capturing song ideas on the go
- Sound designers building sound libraries
- Anyone who thinks, "What if I could sample that?”
Stop scrolling YouTube for 'how to make beats.' Start making them.

Completely Redesigned Effects Engine
The entire effects system has been rebuilt from the ground up with custom DSP. Every effect now sounds better, responds faster, and gives you more control.
New Insert Effects (per-pad):
- 3-Band EQ: RBJ biquad filters with Low/Mid/High faders, presets, automation, click-free preset switching
- Transient Shaper: Differential envelope detection with Attack/Sustain control, automatic gain compensation, presets included
Rebuilt Insert Effects:
- Drive:
1. Tape: Analog saturation that adds smooth, warm compression.
2. Tube: Dual-stage 12AX7 modeling with dynamic harmonic breakup and asymmetric clipping
3. Fuzz: Gated transistor character with "velcro-rip" textures.
4. Fold: Complex, metallic harmonics inspired by Buchla-style wavefolding.
5. Crush: Lo-fi grit with variable bit-depth and sample-rate reduction.
- Stutter: Tempo-synced loop capture for instant rhythmic glitching.
- Precision Control: Lock Rate and Refresh to 11 note divisions (including triplets and dotted values) for perfect syncopated patterns.
- Dynamic Playback: Toggle between evolving repeats and "frozen" moments with variable buffer lengths.
- Stereo Widening: Two independent engines — allpass-based stereo spread for lush width, and alternating pan for rhythmic left/right motion.
- Performance Ready: Mix from subtle doubling to 100% wet. Includes six one-tap presets and full P-Lock automation for builds and fills.
- Tone Filter: Custom SVF engine (migrated from Expanse) with per-sample parameter smoothing
New Send Effects (Global)
- Stereo Widener: Add width and dimension with micro-pitch detuning and Haas-effect delays. The Focus fader lets you keep your low end tight while widening everything above. Five presets including Subtle, Wide, Super, Chorus, and ADT.
- Custom Delay Engine: Four distinct delay models: Digital (clean), Analog (warm saturation), Tape (wow and flutter), and Ping-Pong (stereo bounce). New Color and Feedback faders for deep sound design.
Rebuilt Send Effects
- Chorus: Reworked to authentic Juno-106 BBD topology. Presets I, II, and I+II recreate the classic modes.
- Reverb: New Decay fader for precise control over reverb tail length (0.5s–10s exponential mapping).
Redesigned FX Panel
- Clean Insert/Sends tab layout puts all your effects within easy reach.
In-App User Manual
- Tap the Echo Beach logo to open a searchable, built-in user manual covering every feature in detail.
iOS 26 Ready
- Fully updated for iOS 26 with native @Observable architecture and custom navigation.
Stability & Performance

- bug fixes across DSP, MIDI, memory management, and UI
- iPhone SE layout improvements
