RhythmEcho private beta

[rcrath]

Get off the grid. Forget about humanizing. RhythmEcho is the delay that follows you instead of you it. I'm gingerly expanding my private beta. Details at https://way.net/rhythmecho. I can only take a few, so if interested apply now. If accepted, I'll provide free v1 in return for completed feedback form

Free the beats!

I have started playing with this and so far it seems incredibly useful and very unique

Looking very cool. Loving these new takes on delay I've been seeing more recently. Alas I have no time to test this but will definitely pick it up when it's released.

An excellent sounding delay for sure, not sure if I like the UI myself, YMMV.

Interface is good for me - nice and clear, large fonts, resizes well and has the simple / advanced button to let you use a basic or detailed view. But it is a surprisingly complex beast of a delay that will take some time for me to get a handle on. Can get the most fantastic dynamically changing feedback sounds from it, much more interesting than most delays I have

And for more conventional delays being able to quickly select numerator and denominator for the delay is super convenient - much easier to generate interesting rhythms interactively than any other delay I think, with good control as well.

Also for experimental stuff it responds to rate change so if you use something like HY-seq32 as a sequencer where you can modulate the speed in Hz, rhythm echo seems to follow along pretty well

the more I play with Rhythm Echo the better it gets - more or less two products in one, a great easy to use delay for polyrhythms plus a fantastic buffer instrument

Thnx. The GUI is functionally laid out how I want it to be. My amateur bespoke graphics and the Rhythmecho font are placeholders til I get a graphic artist to create a steady professional *look* but the how it works part is in place. If you can be more specific on what you don't like, I'm all ears over here. Better yet, click on the "get it free" button and do the feedback form. Either way, I'd like to know more specifics as to your underwhelmnance

To you and everyone, thanks for your comments here. I appreciate them and am actively tracking and responding to this thread. If you want a free version 1 while I am offering it, click the "get it free" tag in the top panel of the Rhythmecho GUI. I'll only keep this active until I get a few dozen or so responses via the feedback form so that I don't get overwhelmed. So if you want it free for v1 release and a 1-yr subscription too, do the feedback form soon. Right now, the pricing will be Sane version for free, Sane+FAFO for $79, and a subscription model $TBA for people who want to support the project that way in return for early access to new features and way music plugins and want to show support for a poor old retiree on a fixed income, heheh. One who has had a decades-long dream of making this plugin available to everyone.

Heh, were in the same timezone I guess.

Anyway, it's more the look than functionality. Let me think on it, maybe I can come up with some useful feedback via your form.

Honolulu here. Hope you got through the fire unscathed if you were on Maui then!

Thanks, that was a difficult time for many of course, though I was not affected directly.
But yeah, I grew up here.

I'm still testing this and it still seems pretty good.

[rcrath]

Just dropped a new build of the RhythmEcho based on feedback so far. Still have a few free ones for anyone that wants to test it out! Grab it and try it at https://way.net/rhythmecho/installers/

If you want the free license, just click on the "get it free" link at the top of the plugin. All I ask in return is for some feedback.

Here are two more things it can do (youtube short).



RhythmEcho v0.9.8i — What's New

Undo and redo

yay!

Relative and absolute decay/attack times

Choose how the attack and delay measure time.

New default is R, for relative envelope times that are fractions of the delay times and change in musically interesting ways when delay time changes.

Old Default: A, for absolute time in ms.

The new R/A toggle button sits next to each channel's decay and attack controls.

Preset modified indicator and save guard

When you change anything after loading a preset, an asterisk appears in front of the preset name in the dropdown. If you try to navigate to a different preset while the asterisk is showing — whether by choosing from the dropdown or clicking the prev/next buttons — a dialog appears asking what to do: save the changes as a new preset, overwrite the current one, or discard and move on. The factory preset (slot 0) cannot be overwritten; that button is grayed out.

Sidechain sticky settings

Three new checkboxes in the Options panel let you make your sidechain detection settings persistent across preset loads: SC gain link, SC filter, and SC sensitivity can each be set sticky so they stay put when you switch presets.

Onset sensitivity range expanded

The onset sensitivity control now reaches higher, giving you more range for detecting softer transients in quieter material.

Carbon color theme

Button colors across the top bar, link buttons, and the power button have been softened and unified into a softer palette. The plugin looks less neon and more at home on a low-lit session.

New Presets

multipolymeter v1

FAFO m/s multipolymeter v2

FAFO: queer doubler

FAFO: m/s ambience...mix down so can't hear, then bypass. adjust

FAFO Samish a/b less subtle mix higher.

FAFO your guitar might like this

FAFO but your cat won't.

FAFO queer infinitizer (see queer doubler)

FAFO: Get outeh Way

Rename: Sane: simple polymeter (SC) → FAFO: simple polymeter (SC)

Bugs squashed

Fixed some fairly subtle but game changer DSP issues with delay time calculations. Timing should be even tighter now.

Presets not setting parameters

SC detection settings (gain link, filter, sensitivity) can now survive preset loads via sticky options

SC stickiness now also survives a full reset

Momentum now defaults to off in the default preset
