WARP

Press one key. The whole beat halves.

Half-time, stutters, tape stops, reverses and auto-pans on 24 keys — played by hand, quantised to the grid, and handed back to your DAW as automation or MIDI.

Why it exists

time, volume & pan machine

The moves everyone wants on a beat — the half-time drop, the stutter into the hook, the tape stop before the 808 comes back — usually mean drawing them: a curve editor, a mouse, and a bounce you redo every time the arrangement moves. And the moment a slice boundary lands on a pad or a sub, it clicks.

WARP puts the moves on your keyboard. Twenty-four sit on C1 to B2 — latch, momentary or one-shot, quantised so a late press still lands on the line — and 78 more live in a library sorted by genre. TIME, VOLUME and PAN each get the big screen when you edit them, slice boundaries are crossfaded, and when you record a pass the DAW gets it back as automation, or you drag it out as MIDI on the same keys you played. Zero latency, and bypass is level-matched.

In the session

  1. 01Hold a key for half-time through the pre-chorus; let go and it is back on the grid.
  2. 02Throw a stutter fill into the hook without drawing a single point.
  3. 03Pan the repeats across the stereo field on the PAN lane.
  4. 04Record the performance, then drag it into the session as MIDI.

Under the hood

What's inside WARP.

  • TIME, VOLUME and PAN lanes on one bar, one lane at a time on the big screen
  • 24 moves on C1–B2 — latch, momentary or one-shot, quantised to the grid
  • 102 moves in all: the 24 on the keys plus 78 in a genre library
  • Record the performance as host automation, or drag it out as MIDI or audio
  • Zero latency, a loudness-matched bypass and a real output gain

Straight answers

Before you run WARP.

Which DAWs does WARP 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 WARP add latency?

Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, WARP 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 WARP before buying?

Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, WARP 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 WARP license includes every update to WARP; 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.
