Non-linear reverse delay
Skew is a non-linear reverse delay. It constantly records the incoming audio into a buffer and plays it back in reversed chunks, rhythmically synchronizing them to the host transport. Furthermore, this algorithm warps the delay playback speed via a selection of non-linear curves, bending the pitch in interesting ways. The delay has a unique design with three playheads – one for the feedback, two more for the playback – allowing the pitch bend effects to remain the same between feedback repeat cycles. With its meticulous calibration and wide parameter range, Skew can create multiple rhythmically-precise effects such as pure reversing, tape rewind, pitch slides, detuning, vibrato, scratching, and more.
Sound Engine
- Reversing delay with unique triple-playhead design with overdubbing feedback
- 12 different non-linear curves for warping the audio playback speed
- Host transport location sync and tempo-based delay time adjustment with ultra-wide range: from 1/32 note to 16 bars
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
Graphic Interface
- Color-coded graphic elements
- Consistent name, mapping, value, and unit implemented for all parameters in both graphic user interface and host control/automation
- Built-in preset management functions
- Supports window size scaling up to 200%
Interface
Skew features a fully vector-based interface, with color-coded elements for effective visual grouping. The interface allows you to change its window size from 0.8x to 2x in 20% increments. The last size you set is stored in a preference file and is recalled the next time Skew is loaded.
- Hold shift and drag a knob to adjust the parameter with increased resolution.
- Use option-click (Mac) or alt-click (Windows, Linux), or double-click any knob to recall its default setting.
- To fully initialize all plugin’s parameters, load the preset named Default from the Factory or the User bank.
