Description :

A simplistic plugin which reverses the audio stream. It's not a perfect reverse (you'd need a time machine for that), but it's reasonably good at simulating the effect, and it doesn't click like The Modulator 2 does. Basically, the input audio is read into a 88200-sample buffer, which has two read pointers (going in the opposite direction of the write pointer), half the buffer apart. The sound from each pointer is mixed according to a raised cosine type envelope, to ensure the volume is constant, and that you never hear the discontinuity between the previous data and the new data being written in. I made the gui in Blender (open source, get it from http://www.blender.org), as a kind of experiment in making a 3d gui.

This means you can copy it, give it to your friends, reverse-engineer it, and use it in whatever way you like, basically. It would be cool if you let us know if you ever have a number 1 using it though :) Oh, and we'd prefer if you didn't change the graphics and try and pass it off as your own work...

The one thing you CANNOT do is sell it for profit - we do this for our own pleasure and don't make any money from it, so neither should you. If you want to include it on a magazine cover CD or with a hardware VST box (e.g. Plugzilla etc.) though, that's fine, just let us know first.

Also, we don't take any responsibility for any damage it might cause your system, though if you let us know about any problems you have, we'll do our best to rectify them (see e-mail address above).
