What it does

A multitap delay with up to four taps drawn as nodes on a line. Dragging a node sets its level and its time, either snapped to note divisions or freed to run in seconds, and each tap has a viscosity control that drags its repeats off the grid for a swung feel. Taps chain into each other by default and can be uncoupled to run in parallel. A dynamic constellation mode keeps positions moving so the pattern never settles, and feedback can sit at full without building into runaway noise.

In the demo

Jade starts from a slow piano phrase and lets the taps generate melodies of their own, then leaves the delay running with the transport stopped to show it holding indefinitely. She later feeds generative sequencers and pads through it.

Worth knowing

There are no presets, so every session starts from the same default four taps. The desktop version is a fuller product with spatial positioning that the iOS version leaves out.
