  1. 3:15Time section, sync from 64th to 1:1 plus straight, dotted, triplet and free
  2. 6:24Shaper: low and high cut, attack and sustain acting on the repeats only
  3. 8:44Stereo section, width, richness detune and the mono switch
  4. 11:29Flavor controls: cheap 11-bit crunch, tape saturation, swirl and source reverb
  5. 14:21Destiny randomization and the ducker pulling repeats under the dry signal

What it does

A delay with 14 controls arranged as four blocks. Time syncs to the host with straight, dotted and triplet divisions or runs free from 0.1 to 2,500 ms, with feedback and ping pong. Shaper filters and transient-shapes the repeats without touching the dry signal. Stereo adds width, a pitch offset called richness, pan and mono. Flavor adds an 11-bit lo-fi mode, tape saturation, a fixed phase swirl and a diffusing reverb. Output has a ducker and a subtle randomizer.

In the demo

Jade builds a patch from scratch on piano and guitar in AUM, isolating the wet signal so each control is audible, then pushes feedback into self oscillation and runs the factory presets on synths and drums.

Worth knowing

It is a direct port of the desktop plugin, so the layout is unchanged and the switches are small on an iPhone. A desktop version sells separately for around $69.
