What it does

A modular delay you build as a tree. Each node is a delay line carrying its own pan, feedback, gain, low and high pass filters, pitch, diffusion, distortion, reverse and modulation, and you grow branches by double tapping to add nodes. A node’s position sets its panning and delay time, delays run free or snap to note values against host tempo, and an insanity control drifts the whole tree while it plays. The in-app purchases are a tip jar, not an unlock.

In the demo

Jade builds a tree up from a plain Drum Computer beat so each node is audible on its own, then does the same to an acoustic guitar loop while walking the presets and the mode list. She also routes parameters to the assign slots and MIDI learns them to a hardware keyboard.

Worth knowing

It aims at chaos rather than a tidy tempo delay, and Jade crashes her host twice by stacking instances in a large project. Anyone wanting a clean slapback will find the tree more machinery than the job needs.
