AudioThing Moon Echo - Free Moon Bounce Simulator

Does this mean the sound will never be the same each day? Looks super interesting! Thanks!

The delay time can change every day and it's going to be accurate if you "ping the moon". The plugin connects to NASA's Horizons System to get the current distance from Dwingeloo to the Moon!

Anyway, I've just updated the first post with the video overview and the tutorial!

...seriously !!!!! ... either crazy and genius this is ???????

Fun plugin, thanks for this

It actually does that? That is so cool!

Thanks, fun thing.

This is really clever, and cool! Will doubtless provide hours of fun. Thank you.

The Dwingeloo Radio Observatory looks fascinating. Enjoyed the history-docu-background on it. Well done.

do we have to move the moon for changes in delay time?

Yep! You change the distance of the Moon (as reflected in the pixel art animation) to change the delay time

id like it if we were actually sending audio to the moon, then receiving jumbled up bits of echos of other peoples audio

ahah that would be cool!

Yep! The Horizons System is easy to use (even though the API output is a bit of a mess to work with). You can play with it here: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html#/

Cool

Are impulse response like patterns captured to derive some sort of algorithm from the moon bounce to generate these fx or are they recreated using traditional techniques like chorus flinger delay to mimic the sound of effect of moon bounce?

[D.H. Miltz]

Thank you.

Might be handy to sync the moon

Cool, thanks!

Tiny Bug when resetting MIX via Double-click, resets to 51%

Dont want to be the usual Suspect but no Oversampling here as it seems. Still working pretty fine, except for HF - Doppler - settings.

Great Release!

We combined several techniques, including using impulse responses. We sent numerous test signals, but the challenge was that we only had a 2.5 sec window to transmit them.

Ah thanks, I'll fix that. By the way, you can overwrite the Init patch with your defaults.

I might add oversampling in a future update.
