GVST GRevDly

Reverse-delay effect - free VST audio effect plug-in download for music production, broadcasting and general audio editing.

• Plays chunks of the incoming audio in reverse.
• Chunks are cross-faded by a configurable amount, allowing smooth or choppy transitions.
• Can be used to create interesting effects with all sorts of inputs.

GRevDly Manual

Welcome to GRevDly

GRevDly is a delay effect that plays the delayed signal in reverse. Since only a time machine could enable an entire phrase to be reversed, audio is divided into "chunks". The reversed chunks are cross-faded to eliminate clicks.

Interface

Four knobs control GRevDly's parameters. Each is clearly labelled above, with a user-editable readout below. Embedded into the user interface is an illustration of the signal path.

Time: The size of the chunks that are to be reversed and then repeated in the delay line.

Overlap: The length of the cross-fades between the reversed chunks. This eliminates clicking sounds that could otherwise occur at the "joins" between consecutive chunks.

Dry: The level of the original signal allowed to pass through. It is not an absolute value, but is relative to the amplitude of the source material (i.e. at 0dB, the source audio passes through at the same level at which it entered).

Effect: The level of the delayed signal which is passed through GRevDly. Again, the value is relative to the source.

Hints and ideas

• GRevDly is an alternative to a simple reversed-then-delayed phrase. While the results are similar, keeping the dry signal forward with the delayed signal reversed is an effect unto itself.
• Try using the plug-in with an all-wet ("Effect" at 100%, "Dry" at 0%) signal.
• Use two or more GRevDlys in series, or mix and match with traditional delays such as GVST's GDelay. Don't limit yourself to just one delay effect at a time when trying to create a wash of sound!
