What it's doing, then the same passage with MOTION bypassed and in — level-matched, on its own faceplate — and the quick facts.

Why it exists

auto-pan / tremolo / stereo motion

The pad is right. The chords are right. And the part still sits there like furniture, because nothing about it moves.

MOTION gives it a pulse: auto-pan, tremolo and stereo movement locked to the grid, from a drift you feel more than hear to a full throb that carries a hook. Set it once and the part breathes with the track through every tempo change.

In the session

  1. 01Sync movement to tempo — dotted and triplet included.
  2. 02Drift a pad subtly or throb a hook hard.
  3. 03Stay locked through tempo changes.
  4. 04Make the movement read even on small speakers.

Under the hood

What's inside MOTION.

  • Auto-pan · tremolo · stereo motion
  • Tempo-synced
  • Static parts → living parts
  • Subtle drift to full throb

Straight answers

Before you run MOTION.

Which DAWs does MOTION work in?

Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.

What are the system requirements?

macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.

Does MOTION add latency?

Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, MOTION reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.

Can I try MOTION before buying?

Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, MOTION included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.

Do I need an iLok dongle?

No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.

How do I install it?

Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.

Are updates free?

Yes. A perpetual MOTION license includes every update to MOTION; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
