Velvet Machine Screenshot

Velvet Machine is an audio effect based on real-time convolution with enveloped velvet noise. It's designed to:

  • Stretch and blur out even short sounds to lengths of up to 10 seconds
  • Produce reverb-like textures with flexible volume envelope (including reverse, fading in and out, pulsating etc.)
  • Work as a variable density random multi-tap delay (bordering on granular-like sounds)

Note for iOS users: At high settings, Velvet Machine can be quite CPU-intensive. A minimum of 5th Gen iPad, iPhone 6s or 1st Gen iPhone SE is recommended.
