Backwards MachineÖ lets you reverse continuous audio
in real time

Backwards Machine includes three effects

Reverse Playback Reverses and overlaps snippets of
the incoming audio to produce an ongoing backwards
effect

Forward Backwards Smoothly cross-fades between
forward and backward versions of the incoming audio

Reverse Repeat Plays snippets of the input audio
backwards twice. The second time a slight vibrato
is added

Backwards Machine includes the following controls

REVERSER This button controls whether you hear the
reversed audio (according to whichever preset is
selected) or the original (forwards) audio. The
REVERSER button has been deglitched to avoid clicks
when switching between forward and reverse playback.

TIME This slider controls the delay time; i.e. the
length of each audio window (snippet). The default
is 2 seconds which tends to sound better than very
short or very long time settings. The TIME control
has been deglitched to avoid clicks when adjusting
the slider.

FEEDBACK DEPTH This slider controls the amount of
feedback. Often feedback is not needed for these
effects so the default is 0.

WET MIX This slider controls the loudness of the
Backwards (wet / effect) sound.

DRY MIX This slider allows you to mix in some of
the (dry / non-effect) input signal. Often you will
want to set this slider to 0 (the default) but this
slider can be used if you want to hear some of the
forwards sound along with the backwards sound.
