Sample anything. Sequence anything. Play anywhere.
Echo Beach turns your iPhone into a professional-grade sampler and AUv3 Instrument plugin. Inspired by the tactile workflow of classic hardware like the SP-1200 and MPC, Echo Beach lets you capture, chop, and sequence ideas in seconds as a standalone or directly inside your favorite DAW.
AUV3 PLUGIN POWER
Echo Beach is now a full AUv3 Instrument. Host it inside Logic Pro, Ableton, Cubasis, or GarageBand.
- Seamless Integration: Follows host transport, BPM, and timeline.
- Deep Automation: Every knob, fader, and effect is exposed as an AUParameter for smooth
DAW automation.
- Shared Library: Samples recorded in standalone are instantly available in the plugin via a shared App Group.
CORE FEATURES
- 8-Pad Sampler: Load, trim, loop, and play with high-fidelity, low-latency performance.
- Smart Slice Detection: Auto-chop audio based on transients or edit markers manually.
- Built-In Step Sequencer: Program complex rhythms instantly with per-step velocity.
- Custom Effects Engine:
- Inserts: Reverse, 3-Band EQ, Transient Shaper, 5 Distortion models, Stutter, and Tone Filter.
- Sends: Juno-106 inspired Chorus, Stereo Widener, Custom Delay (4 models), Reverb, and the new Lo-Fi.
- Master: 5 Distortion models, Compression, LImiter, Master Out fader.
- Groove Engine: Interpolate between 8 groove templates, from perfect quantization to human, Dilla-esque swing.
- Professional Factory Bank: High-quality sample library included to start making beats immediately.
- DAW Export: Send stems, full mix, and MIDI with embedded BPM and time-signature metadata.
- MIDI Learn: Full MIDI controller support with a dedicated Map mode to customize your hardware setup.
WORKFLOW
Record → Slice → Sequence → Automate
- Import audio from your library, Files, or even Video files with the new synchronized preview.
- Tap the waveform to slice audio or drag slices to any pad.
- Sequence your pattern and use P-Locks (Parameter Locking) to automate effects per-step.
- Host the plugin in your DAW to add the Echo Beach sound to your full production.
WHY ECHO BEACH?
Most samplers make you choose: simple or powerful. Echo Beach is both. It breaks the trade-off with features that work like you think:
- Musical Timing: Slices become MIDI notes and grooves apply musically, not mechanically.
- Real-Time Safety: Hardened for live performance and high-pressure studio sessions.
- No Friction: Slices and sequences move with you from standalone sketching to final DAW mixing.
TECH SPECS
- Supports WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, CAF.
- Export stems, full mix, and MIDI.
- Professional-grade DSP with near-zero latency.
- Fully offline operation.
Stop scrolling YouTube for 'how to make beats.' Start making them with Echo Beach.
Mer This could become one of my favourite apps for creating musical ideas. There are some essential features missing though. Clear and easy undo/redo and some buttons for it. Crop a sample. Before applying transient detector. And finally the ability to merge, record or export a beat to a new pad. As it is now it feels like a fun toy but not robust enough to have a workflow to actually create something useful.
Svar från utvecklaren Hey Dawda, thanks for the feedback. Cropping has always been a core feature of Echo Beach, simply move the Green End Markers by dragging them with your finger. In the latest update there are two Undo/Redo buttons and you can reset the pad or the patch. Cropping a sample is as easy as dragging the Green End Markers. You can drag the Green end marker in to silence to Adjusting the End Markers in tandem with the Bar Picker selection, your BPM is auto-detected.There is also a new resample button so you can resample your master output onto any pad. I think you'll be pretty stoked about the next update. New FX and Automation :)

1.9.3 23 mars
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
- Rebuilt audio scheduling with atomic buffer swapping for dropout-free playback
- Fixed part transition timing for seamless arrangement playback
- Comprehensive audio thread safety audit — zero main-thread blocking on the render path
- bug fixes across DSP, MIDI, memory management, and UI
- iPhone SE layout improvements

- Transient Shaper: Differential envelope detection with Attack/Sustain control, automatic gain compensation, preset
Rebuilt Insert Effects:
- Drive:
1. Tape: Analog tape saturation. Adds smooth, warm compression that gets thicker as you push the drive. Subtle at low settings, fat and creamy when cranked.
2. Tube: Dual-stage tube overdrive modeled on a classic 12AX7 valve. Responds dynamically to your input — clean at low levels, rich harmonic breakup when driven hard. Asymmetric clipping gives it that real amp feel.
3. Fuzz: Gated transistor fuzz with octave-up overtones. Quiet signals get swallowed, loud signals explode — that classic velcro-rip fuzz character. Great on drums and one-shots.
4. Fold: A wavefolder inspired by Buchla synthesizers. Produces complex, metallic harmonics that evolve as you increase drive. The most experimental model — turns simple sounds into something alien.
5. Crush: Lo-fi bitcrusher. Drive reduces bit depth (from pristine 16-bit down to gnarly 1-bit), while Tone controls sample-rate reduction for that classic digital grit. Perfect for adding texture, lo-fi character, or total destruction.
- Tone Filter: Custom SVF engine (migrated from Expanse) with per-sample parameter smoothing
