Stereo granular memory reverb
You Need to Wake Up
It remembers what you played. Do you?
While you play, it quietly remembers. Fragments of your own playing resurface inside the wash; when recalled, the sharpness blurs and the details are misremembered.

The idea
A room with a memory problem.
The core is a studio-quality room reverb. Alongside it, a forty-second recorder listens only when you are actually playing. A scheduler pulls phrases and fragments back into the room—sometimes bright and recent, sometimes drifting like tape, sometimes old and badly fractured.
The room
MIX, DECAY, HI CUT, plus SHIFT controls for input gate, swell, and low cut. The dry path stays full-level.
The memory
GUESTS controls how often memories appear. DRIFT changes how they age. REGISTER moves fragments down an octave, near unison, or up an octave.
Performance first
Tap WAKE to clear memory. Hold it to isolate the wet scene while your dry signal stays live. Hold ENTER to expose the five secondary controls.
Rig-aware routing
Internal switches configure mono/stereo input and output, trails, and kill dry for parallel or mixer loops.
