gumdropBoing

Throw a sound.
It comes back.

Gumdrop Boing is a delay you throw. Every time the ball hits a wall, the floor or the ceiling, you hear your sound again: at that moment, on that side, as hard as it hit.

Headphones help: the echoes move from left to right. Your file stays on your device.

One gesture. Three switches.

  • Throw it.

    Where you let go, which way and how hard. That is the whole setting, and you hear it change as the ball flies.

  • Pick a wall.

    Wood sounds warm, Tiles ring bright, Pillow keeps it soft. Every bounce takes a little more off the top.

  • Gravity, or not.

    With gravity the ball bounces on the floor and the echoes speed up. Without it, the ball flies from wall to wall.

  • Lock it to the beat.

    Sync moves every echo onto your song's grid: 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 or 1/16 triplets.

Five rooms to start from.

  • Ping-pongLeft, right, left, on tiles.
  • Bouncy ballDropped on a wooden floor. The echoes speed up.
  • Pillow fightSoft, short and a little dull.
  • BathroomBright and busy. Everyone sings better here.
  • Gym hallBig, wide and slow.

Gumdrop Boing

$19.Less than a pizza, lasts longer.

Pay once. Updates for version 1 are free. In Europe it's €19 with VAT included. Elsewhere it's $19 plus any sales tax, worked out at checkout. If Boing doesn't work on your computer, you get your money back (see refunds).

Questions.

Does it work in my DAW?

If your DAW loads VST3 or Audio Units plugins, yes: Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Reaper, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig and GarageBand all do. Pro Tools needs AAX, which Boing doesn't have yet.

Can I try it before I buy?

Yes, at the top of this page. The room there runs the same bounce engine as the plugin, so the echoes land where they would in your DAW.

How does activation work?

After you buy, download Boing from your account (“Download your plugins”, at the bottom of every page). Open it in your DAW and click Activate. Your browser opens, you sign in, and Boing is ready.

A studio computer that is never online can be activated with a file instead. To move Boing to a new computer, free the old one from Boing's menu or from your account. A computer activated with a file is freed by us: just write.

How many computers can I use it on?

Up to 3 of your own computers at the same time.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay $19 once, and updates for version 1 are free.

Will it slow down my computer?

No. Boing is a handful of delay lines. It uses very little CPU and adds no latency.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Write to us within 14 days. We'll try to fix it, and if we can't, you get your money back. The details are on the refunds page.
