New plugin: dm-SpaceEcho

This plugin is delay and reverb combined. Crank the feedback to get that nice oscillating saturated Space Echo sound (Karma Police ending anyone?). Dial in the wow & flutter to go from a tight digital delay to tape-like modulation. Go for ping-pong or stereo delay. Control the stereo width. Tweak the filter to create a dub delay etc. etc. …
There’s plenty of controls and plenty to explore here.

Be aware that when you set feedback higher than 100% you get higher output gain. The output gain is controlled to a large extent. But if you encounter clipping turn down the output level. Or if that’s not satisfactory engage the limiter.

This plugin is not yet in the BETA store. If you want to check it out, you can find a build here: Releases · davemollen/dm-SpaceEcho · GitHub

Hi Dave,

I had the chance to try your plugin and it’s as sweet as it looks! I found it very inspiring :grinning:

Thanks!

Please download the latest MOD Dwarf build via the plugin’s releases page from now on.

Unfortunately I can’t update the link in the original first post.

Edit: Original post and link have been modified. :pray:

Thanks a lot @DaveM for this wonderful plugin!! Really good work!!
I’ve also checked out your other repositories on GitHub, you have some incredibly good stuff there! Love your tubescreamer, ds1, rat and grain-delay pedals! Quite massive sound by using very few CPU load.

I also almost shared a pedalboard with it, but as I forget that the plugins are installed locally, the upload failes due to an error. Let’s see if I can host sound samples somewhere else.

Thanks, that’s great to hear! I’m glad you like this one and others.

I”ll share the other plugins you mention on this forum soon too by the way.

Hello @DaveM! I just spent some time with the plugin in MODEP and I really like how flexible it is! I had been looking for a plugin that could do proper stereo analog-style delays on this platform, and this is the plugin that gets closest to what I want.

My only request is the implementation of a tap tempo button and adding the option to set the left and right delay times as tempo subdivisions. That would make this plugin even more useful!

It should be possible to do this already. Toggle the “Translate value to musical tempo” for “Time Left” and/or “Time Right”. Then time will be synced to the BPM.

And BPM itself can be modulated. See this topic about setting global bpm via footswitch tap tempo.

Thanks for the tip on the "Translate value to musical tempo” toggle! However, as I mentioned in my previous post, I’m using MODEP. As such, I don’t have the option to set it to device. If I try assigning it to a MIDI CC, it doesn’t follow the tap behaviour and instead maps value 127 = 280 BPM. So while I understand you’re developing this plugin primarily for the hardware units, the inclusion of the tap tempo button would be great for users like me!

Ah, that’s a bummer! So if I understand correctly you can sync the time parameter to the bpm on Modep, but you can’t set the bpm via midi?

I see there has been a request to control bpm via midi already: Tap tempo via midi?. I would much rather see that feature be implemented instead of adding a workaround in this plugin. But if this is requested more often I’ll think about it of course.

Yes indeed I can sync the time parameter to the BPM in MODEP. Technically I can set the BPM via MIDI, but it doesn’t follow the usual “tap tempo” behaviour. Say if you assign it to MIDI CC 9. As soon as you press the related switch on your controller and its value goes to 127, the tempo goes to 280 BPM, which is the max value. When the value drops backs to 0, the tempo becomes 120 BPM.

Thanks for this plugin !
Would you build it for the modduo X ?
I see you use cargo as a builder, did you build it with this tool for the dwarf?
Or did you create a makefile for the modbuilder? If you did create a makefile, care to share it? I can then use it to build your plugins for the mod duo x …

I added a modduo and modduox build just now. Check out the latest release. It is indeed a makefile.

I’m curious to know if it works smoothly on a duo and duox. So please let me know.

is it available in the plugin store?

Unfortunately no. I hope it will be soon. For now you can only install it locally. Download the files via the link in the first post and follow the included instructions.

Maybe a stupid question: but is there a way to install this plugin from a windows 11 pc?

Have you tried downloading the zip from Releases · davemollen/dm-SpaceEcho · GitHub and followed the instructions from there?
