Holderness Media has introduced Echo Pad – a realtime echo effect processor for iOS. Echo Pad features a delay + sound on sound looper, controlled by a multi-touch XY interface.

According to the developer, Echo Pad was ‘born out of love for tape echoes, sound on sound loopers and noisy, dirty analog delay pedals. Echo Pad excels at hands on warping delay tones and controlled feedback, and is not afraid to get loud.’

Here’s a demo video for Echo Pad:

• Toggle slider control panels for access to full parameters.
• Save and recall effect settings.
• BPM sync for rhythmic delays.
