Keremian Klein has updated and price dropped Echo Beach, now only $4.99, (usually $9.99). AUv3 support is in development.
What’s new in version 1.9.2:
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.
- Drive:
- 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.
- Dvnamic 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 delavs. 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, I1, and I+I1 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

- 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
