Why use it

What it doesA degrading memory - the sound keeps its energy but loses its detail as it repeats.

Reach for it whenTextures that should decay into something else. Loops that need to fall apart slowly.

What makes it differentFree.

A delay that misremembers. Each repeat isn't a quieter copy — it's a slightly wrong one, and the errors accumulate.

The signature is that the energy stays but the correlation falls apart. The repeats keep their level and their rough shape while the detail inside them drifts away from the original, the way a memory does. Freeze it and it will sit there forgetting in place.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2

· Mix no longer clicks when automated (0.238 → 0.0005).

· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.

· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.

· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
