Why use it

What it doesA decay effect - takes the life out of a sound, one knob.

Reach for it whenMaking a loop sound like it came off an old machine. Backgrounds that should not hold attention.

What makes it differentFree.

One knob. Turn it up and the signal decays — losing life, losing top end, losing the will to sustain.

Part of the "Shane Is" series: one control, one feeling, no menus.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2

· The Default program in the host's preset menu now actually restores the plug-in's defaults.

· 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.
