I thought it was worth posting about an App that is available on Ipad. It's called Echo Pad and its made by Holderness media. It's been around since January and has had 14 free updates since then. It's latest update has added multitap delays and while its not THE SOUND yet it has the potential in the future to become something very useful for Shadow style music on an Ipad. At the moment it has 4 heads that you can't alter but having contacted the developer He has replied saying that in one of the forthcoming updates individual control of heads is to be added. I've asked about having 6 heads and the ability to use it in mono as the multitap delay is currently stereo and He has said that all this is possible. It also already has wow and flutter. If you have an Ipad already its well worth checking out as it is only £1.99. I've swapped a few emails with the developer Christopher Rice and He has been surprised by the interest in multitap delays and genuinely seems open to ideas for future updates.
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has used it since the 5th of August update and what they think of it.
Roger Dyke has kindly recorded some examples of Echo pad using his guitar with his Ipad mini.
