Echo Valley

Five engines.
One signal path.

Echo Valley is a delay, diffusion, texture, harmonic and mood processor that behaves less like five plug-ins and more like one instrument you play.

The plug-in itself. Hover to hold, click to steer

Hear it

The same take, before and after.

One loop, every engine. Press play, then hit Dry to hear what went in. It swaps instantly and keeps its place, so you are comparing the sound and not your memory of it.

All five engines Every engine at once, one pass through the chain
Delay Repeats that build a rhythm instead of a wash
Diffusion A room, then a bigger room
Texture Clean, then run through tape
Harmonic Locked to the key, ringing in tune
Mood One pad, granulated into a cloud
Mood / Chop The same bar, sliced to the grid and stuttered

Every example is one pass of the plug-in on the dry loop beside it. Same take, nothing else added.

The chain

The order is half the sound.

Your audio runs through all five engines, left to right, in whatever order you put them in. Change the order and you change the sound.

OUT

Drag the blocks to reorder them. It works the same way inside the plug-in.

Inside the engines

The interface is the manual.

Nothing here is a picture of a knob. Every graphic moves with the sound it is making, so you learn the plug-in by looking at it.

Hover any marker for what it does

Performance

Record it once. It loops forever.

Click GESTURE on any engine, move anything for ten seconds, and it replays every move on a loop.

01Arm

Click it and recording starts. Click again to end early, right click to wipe it.

02Perform

Grab as many controls as you like. Each gets its own recording. Everything else stays put.

03Loop

It loops until you stop it, and nothing reaches your DAW. Every engine has its own, so run five at once.

01 is the button's whole life: idle, red while it records, orbiting while it loops. 02 and 03 are the same four faders, first under your hand, then moving on their own.

Random

Randomises that engine alone. MIX is left out: a random mix near zero sounds broken.

Reset

Every control back to default, gesture loop included. The fastest way out of a sound you regret.

Presets

Never start from a blank panel.

300 in the main library, 20 inside every engine, and a randomiser for when you want to build something new.

Anything you save sits beside the factory presets and a whole bank exports to one file, so your sounds can move machines or go to someone else.

Will it run

It runs on the laptop you already have.

One engine is light. Five at once is the heavy case, and that is what the recommended column is for.

Apple Silicon runs natively, no Rosetta. Everything ships inside the plug-in: no sample library to download, nothing to authorise online after install.

Before you buy

The things worth checking first.

Which DAWs does it work in?

Anything that loads VST3 or AU: Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig, Cubase and GarageBand. Pro Tools is the exception. Echo Valley does not ship an AAX version, so it will not appear in Pro Tools.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. The same purchase gets you both builds, and Apple Silicon Macs run it natively without Rosetta.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. The free four day trial is live on the download page. It is the complete plug-in with nothing removed or degraded, and after four days the audio simply passes through dry while your session keeps every setting.

What is the refund policy?

All sales are final, because it is an instant digital download. That is exactly why the system requirements and the format list above are worth two minutes before you buy.

Do I need to be online to use it?

Only to download it. Every preset and every texture ships inside the plug-in, so there is no sample library to install, no account to log into and nothing to authorise after setup.

Will I have to pay for updates?

No. You pay once and updates are free.

Made for people who
build sounds, not settings.

One license, both platforms, every engine. Free updates.
