First release. A delay where every repetition is replayed at a different tape speed —
pitch and duration change together, and slow repetitions overlap the following ones
instead of being cut short.

  • time 0.1 ms – 20 s free, or tempo-synced up to 2 bars with PPQ-anchored boundaries
  • speed 1/4x – 4x with a 3x3 shortcut grid: octaves plus fourths and fifths
  • feedback 0–2, RAW (varispeed compounds each generation) or STABLE (it does not)
  • GRID / TAPE spacing, REGRID / BEND response to time changes
  • 7-band graphic EQ in the repetition path, soft clip in the recycle path

See USAGE.md for what each control does and which behaviours are deliberate.

Known gaps

  • No factory presets yet — the authoring and embedding machinery is in place, but the
    preset content still has to be dialled in by ear.
  • Not yet validated with auval, pluginval or a DAW.
  • Glide, bend limits, clip threshold and interpolator order are at their design defaults
    and have not been tuned by ear.
