ECHO CHAMBER tape delay interface: spinning reels, echo-ring tunnel, VU meter, FREEZE button and knobs
Actual plugin UI. The same HTML/CSS runs in the JUCE WebView and in the browser preview.

Signature sound

Tested before release: auval and pluginval at strictness 10 (VST3 + AU on macOS, VST3 on Linux). The test report ships in the zip.

  • FREEZE that holds: the input is cut and the loop goes near-lossless, so the repeats hang without running away
  • Clean / Vintage / Worn tape: saturation, hiss, wow/flutter and darkness move together
  • Normal / Ducked / Reverse: echoes duck while you play, or every repeat runs backwards
  • Free or synced time: 10 ms to 2 s, or dotted/triplet divisions, with a tape swoop on changes
  • Safe feedback to 98%: gain-staged loop saturation, in-loop filters, ping-pong, output limiter
  • 5 presets: Warm Memories, Dub Tunnel, Slapback Diner, Worn Cassette, Backwards Dream

What's in the zip

JUCE 8 project

CMake project with the DSP engine, parameters, WebView editor, presets, a DSP smoke test and one-command build scripts.

Cursor kit

Rules that know the architecture and the real-time safety rules, plus a prompt chain: tour → tap tempo → multi-head DSP → make it yours.

Browser preview

The same UI with a Web Audio engine. Double-click to sketch sounds with no compiler.

Requirements, said plainly

Not included: prebuilt or signed binaries, or AAX. You compile it on your own machine, which is fine for personal use. To distribute builds, you need your own code signing and must follow JUCE's licence (AGPLv3 or your own JUCE licence).

  • macOS: Xcode 15+ and CMake. Builds VST3 + AU + Standalone. Verified.
  • Windows: VS2022 and CMake. Script included, community-tested soon (not yet verified)
  • Linux: VST3 + Standalone. Verified.
  • Made with AI assistance, then checked with standard validators. The results are documented, not just claimed.
