Time Spiral

Time Spiral is a creative delay plugin featuring a groundbreaking Spring BBD mode — where delay taps bounce, overshoot, and settle like real springs, creating organic modulation effects you can't get anywhere else.

Spring BBD Mode

• Delay taps that bounce — change delay time and watch taps overshoot, bounce back and forth, creating gorgeous pitch modulation.
• 1 to 8 independent taps — fewer for clear spring effects, or up to 8 for swarms of evolving echoes.
• Weight & Tension controls — shape how springs behave: sluggish and smooth, or fast and bouncy.
• Spread parameters — give each tap its own personality for rich, complex textures.
• Ready-to-go presets — No Osc, One Slow, Medium, and Fast spring behaviors.
• Animated scope — watch your taps bouncing in real-time.

Three Delay Modes

• Digital Delay — pristine, transparent delays with smooth parameter changes.
• BBD Mode — authentic Bucket Brigade Device emulation for warm analog character with vintage pitch wobbling.
• Spring BBD — physics-based spring simulation for unique organic modulation.

Flexible Timing

• Beats — musical subdivisions synced to tempo (1/32 to whole notes, including dotted).
• Milliseconds — precise timing from -1000 to +1000 ms.
• Samples — sample-accurate control for phase tricks and comb filtering.
• Negative delays — push tracks ahead in your mix.
• Pitch mode — short delay times show musical note for Karplus-Strong effects.
• Ping-Pong — bouncing stereo delays for width and movement.

Advanced Filtering

• Three filter types: One-Pole, SVF, and IIR.
• Low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass modes.
• Filter before, after, or in the feedback loop.
• Real-time spectrum analyzer with adjustable FFT resolution.
• Interactive frequency response graph (20 Hz – 20 kHz).

Drive & Dynamics

• Drive/Saturation — from subtle warmth to gritty distortion.
• Built-in compressor with ducking.
• Hard limiter.
• Full metering at every stage.

Professional Loudness Tools

• Five measurement standards: Momentary, Short Term, Integrated, True Peak, and VU.
• Color-coded history graphs with smart auto-scaling.
• Zoomable time display.

Visual Feedback

• Animated delay scope with pitch markers (±24 semitones).
• Total delay display showing beats, milliseconds, and samples simultaneously.
• Clean, resizable interface.

Perfect for: ambient textures, vintage tape delay character, rhythmic delay patterns, experimental sound design with spring physics, Karplus-Strong synthesis, and professional mixing with broadcast-standard metering.

Available in AU, VST3, and CLAP formats. Works with macOS 10.13+ and Windows 10+ (64-bit).
