Reverse Delay – A Unique Reversed Echo Effect for Creative Sound Design
Transform Any Sound into a Surreal, Reversed Atmosphere
Reverse Delay is an innovative Max for Live audio effect that reverses delayed signals, creating a unique and immersive sonic experience. Whether applied to drums, pianos, guitars, or synthesizers, this effect adds an otherworldly texture by removing attack transients and replacing them with a dreamlike, floating quality.
Full Reverse Playback in Real-Time
Set the Wet parameter to 100%, and any incoming audio will be transformed into a real-time reversed version of itself. This eliminates the natural attack of sounds, creating an ethereal, evolving soundscape that feels disconnected from time and space.
New in Version 3.2: Evolving Reverse-Forward Interplay
With the introduction of Version 3.2, Reverse Delay goes beyond simple feedback. A new parameter allows repeated echoes to alternate between reverse playback and "reverse-reverse" (which effectively results in forward playback). This dynamic interaction of reversing and re-reversing creates a constantly shifting sonic pattern that blends unpredictability with rhythmic cohesion.
Perfect for Electronic, Ambient, and Experimental Music
Reverse Delay is an essential tool for producers working in electronic music, bass music, and dance music. Whether you're crafting deep atmospheric pads, glitchy percussive textures, or cinematic soundscapes, this plugin provides a new level of creative control over reversed audio effects.
Expand Your Sound Design Possibilities
Reverse Delay is more than just an effect—it's a tool for inspiration. By reshaping time and transforming sound, it allows producers to discover entirely new sonic dimensions.
