thank you for the free plugin @hainbach you are my favourite musician youtuber... would love to collaborate with you on anything...
keep up the interesting and cool work!!! love your music..

The mental gymnastics associated with the fairy tale of this ridiculous senseless plugin would embarrass any monkey with enough sense to realize that these are realized imaginations, not at all facts.

A message from all music producers around the world: Thank you for taking the time to show us this and make it into a free plugin for everyone to use.

[@rays7805]

John Lennon wanted this. He wanted his voice to sound like it was coming from the moon on "I Am the Walrus". Someone needs to use this plugin on a cover of "I Am the Walrus".
To the Moon, Alice!
I'm thinking of other songs we need to do. We need a new version of Bruce Haack's "National Anthem to the Moon".

[@Hainbach]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@lundsweden]

He also wanted one song to sound like an orange. I think this was probably the effect of LSD!

[@crispysteve42]

@@Hainbach orange echo when?

[@buchanfoulsham6314]

I've listened to that song on lsd send dmt. The lyrics got more and more distorted as the song went on. Literally sounded like this moon echo by the end of it.

[@theothertonydutch]

What is the biggest instrument you've ever played?
Hainbach: The moon.

[@mmmdananananone]

Best surprise ever! I sent Hainbach a sample a few months ago for a mysterious undisclosed project and then forgot about it. I obviously had no idea the sound would be transmitted to the moon and back. Just brilliant. Thank you so much, Stefan!

[@Projacked1]

'400.000 kilometers...'

[@AlexBallMusic]

This is why we love you dude. What a great video.

[@kforkowskii]

the fact that this is free is incredible, thank you so much

[@davidhuggins16]

This sounds incredible. I found the distorted vocal echoes you captured reminiscent of some of Ben Burtt’s voice treatments in the original Star Wars film (“We’re passing through the magnetic field…”).
I think, like Walter Murch did with THX1138, he sent the dry voices out from a shortwave radio transmitter and re-recorded the results on a detuned receiver, giving a uniquely warped, ring mod type effect…

[@RCAvhstape]

[@theoriginalscola]

As an Audio Engineer and a Amateur Radio operator, I think this is one of the absolute coolest things you've done! Can't wait to try the plugin!! 73 de Mark, VA3HES

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

Whoa. This is like a mini documentary with so many wild insights and sonic delights. Bravo. This is truly epic and we really feel the shear amount of effort and time put into this video, let alone the development of the plug-in and then to give it away. So gracious. Thankfully you guys are lunatics.

[@Hainbach]

That last line was perfect 😂

[@ellenniles660]

Here from Tom Scott's newsletter

[@Hainbach]

Oh really! I had no idea

[@beardymcbeardface69]

Good old EME. The thing I love about EME is that it demonstrates the distance between the Earth and the Moon and also the speed of light in a vacuum, in more ways than one.
Antenna designs are tuned based on the speed of light in a vacuum and the velocity factor of the metals used to make the antenna. If science were wrong about the speed of light and the velocity factor of different metals, these antennas would not work well enough.
Since the efficacy of these antennas prove that we are correct about these things, we can now use those same antennas to measure the round trip time for an echo off of the Moon. Since we know the speed of light in a vacuum and the round trip time, we can estimate the distance between the Moon and the Earth.
Some people believe the Moon is actually much closer to the Earth than it actually is, those people also believe lots of other strange things. Those people are wrong. There is a big experiment coming up soon for them!

In some distant universe an alien species picks up their first signal from outer space:

The coolest Hainbach project to date! And right on the 55th anniversary of the first moon landing, which from my perspective marks the pinnacle of human ambition and achievement. Congratulations again - and thanks for making the plugin available for those who don’t have a radio dish at hand ;-)

[@dr.rabbitfoot7421]

When I started on my own iOS journey I found your channel almost straight away, enjoying the absolute experimentation of what you do, this one though, this brings me so much joy, and for you and @audiothing to do this for free!? Please keep doing what you folks do

[@ZebraandDonkey]

Wow and the plug in is great. Already using it on a track I am working on now. Very cool and thanks. Appreciate your sharing this and n’ice to see someone else who is inspired by Pauline Oliveros

[@_rlb]

This is so cool! Dwingeloo is a great place, the telescope is worth visiting. I'll be there again tomorrow.

Making a plugin from the Moon is something completely in Hainbach style

The concept of this idea is beautiful. Using the moon as a echo, best plugin idea ever. Rock on Hainbach !

[@zackersquackers]

What a fun and creative way to modify sound--gonna have fun with that one!

[@JKVisFX]

This really speaks to the true nerd in me. Too cool for words.

[@espasphalt]

I did something similar to this in my eurorack where i created a sonar ping by sending a gate into my rainmaker, both delay and comb engaged, 100% delay signal. The rainmaker was sent to VCAs (as the object being hit by the sonar) and the sound sources patched into the vca would be the returning signal. Not entirely accurate to sonar at all but a very interesting experiment

[@peonerovv1770]

I HAD THE SAME IDEA LIKE A MONTH AGO. HAINBACH YOURE THE BEST

[@ImpliedMusic]

I fully approve of this. delightful. you've managed to of my favorite topics. Pauline Oliveros' deep listening as well. thanks for the FREE plug-in. amazing.

[@alairlibreinsfreie5785]

i just did my first trys playing around with the moon. the plug in will definetly get good use in a film project i m working on. i put it on a track of an old harmonium and it was crazy, already the default setting was magic. no need to touch anything. on piano and percussion tracks it worked also very good. and it just invites to play around with it. phantastic idea. vielen dank!!

I really do appreciate all your plug ins work on older iPads. This iPod 4 or 6 whatever it is cost 20 pounds and I get to use all your apps which makes it an absolute bargain.

[@factotumindustries]

I love a big bit of hardware!

[@silasward7316]

loving this plugin! have already used it on a track :)

[@bryandraughn9830]

Sounds like a flanging effect used for guitars which delays a signal and varies the delay time to increase and decrease before comparing with the "dry' signal.
I believe it's between 2 and 7 milliseconds but I don't remember exactly. Increasing the delay time results in a "chorus" effect.

[@AnimusInvidious]

Sounds kinda like ring modulation. So cool!

[@benbraidfoot6157]

Working on a project right now building some effected loops and this will just be one more beautiful texture for me to add!!! Thank you Hainbach!!!
