Here’s what’s new in Echo Pad 1.8:

• Audiobus 2 state saving!
  • Save effect parameters inside Audiobus 2, allowing you to save, recall, and share custom Echo Pad settings using new Audiobus 2 presets.
  • Create awesome effects by combining with our other apps Stereo Designer and Swoopster, which also support state saving in Audiobus 2.
  • Requires Audiobus 2.0 app.
• MIDI Control
  • Echo Pad can now be controlled from external MIDI controllers, Virtual MIDI, and Network connections.
