  1. 15:42The row of moon cycle images, and the first presets on acoustic guitar
  2. 22:42Selecting individual effect blocks, each with its own meter
  3. 24:21The feedback delay and the notch quality control
  4. 25:01The ping pong and its width setting
  5. 26:48The same patches run on a live vocal
  6. 34:55The button that steps the array through its phases, each a different effect

What it does

A free AUv3 effect laid out as a row of moon cycle images rather than a conventional panel. Each image is a block that can be selected and metered on its own, and between them they cover vibrato, a vibrato delay, a feedback delay, a notch with a quality control, an effect LFO and a ping pong with a width setting. Dry and wet are the only global controls. One button steps the whole array through its phases, each phase loading something different, a ping pong, a tremolo, or no effect at all.

In the demo

Jade opens it in AUM with a touch of BlackHole after it and runs the presets on acoustic guitar, then on a live vocal, a drone and a Ravenscroft piano. She says up front that she has not read the instructions, and works out what the phase button does on camera.

Worth knowing

Jade spends the show declining to define what the app is, and uses it as a mangling box for noise, drones and texture rather than as a delay you would reach for on a mix. Finding a usable setting is trial and error.
