Moon Echo by AudioThing was released on February 1, 2024 — both its original release date and most recent update. This cosmic delay effect brings a genuinely unique concept to iOS effects processing, simulating delays based on the physical distance between Earth and the Moon.
Moon Echo is a free experimental delay effect for iPhone and iPad that simulates the delay time created by using the moon as a radio wave reflector. The result is a characterful, lo-fi echo modulated by the real movements of Earth and the Moon, producing imperfect, lively artifacts that differ from conventional delays. AudioThing has also positioned the app as an educational tool for teaching concepts in space science.
The app works as both a standalone app and AUv3 plugin, integrating into iOS DAW environments like AUM. Its frequency shifting, noise features, and organic modulation character make it ideal for ambient, experimental, and lo-fi productions where a conventional delay simply won’t do.
