Kaleidoscope Echo

What it does

A MIDI processor that simulates a delay line by generating repeated notes rather than repeating audio. Each repeat has its own velocity and pitch offset, so the same tool covers echoes, strums, arpeggios, chords and sequences. Notes can be forced into a chosen scale or a hand-drawn one, with scale lock holding that scale while presets are browsed, plus per-step velocity and pitch editing behind a triple tap.

In the demo

Jade builds it from an init patch, adding repeats and step length before shaping velocity into a trailing echo and then a reverse one. She drives it from a keyboard and from Harmony Bloom, and finishes in Logic by recording its output, which arrives as individual MIDI notes rather than an audio tail.

Worth knowing

It makes no sound of its own and has to be loaded in a MIDI effect slot, so a host that cannot chain MIDI plugins will not use it. Presets stay hidden until activated once in the standalone.
