Time Spiral [VST3/AU/CLAP]

Introducing Time Spiral — The Delay Plugin That Brings Your Echoes to Life

Ever wished your delays could move and breathe on their own? Time Spiral's groundbreaking Spring BBD mode does exactly that — creating delay taps that bounce, overshoot, and settle like real springs, giving you organic modulation effects you simply can't get anywhere else.

 Whether you're:

• Craving delay effects that feel alive — where timing changes trigger beautiful pitch wobbles and bouncing echoes
• Looking to create lush soundscapes with up to 8 delay taps that each dance to their own rhythm
• Wanting instant creative inspiration through physics-based spring simulation that responds to every tweak
• Building rhythmic patterns that evolve and transform as you play
• Experimenting with vintage analog delay vibes or staying crystal-clean digital
• Needing both creative freedom and surgical precision for any production scenario

Time Spiral gives you all of this and more, wrapped in an intuitive interface where you can actually see what's happening to your sound in real-time.

Let's dive into what makes Time Spiral special:

 ✨ Spring BBD Mode — The Magic Behind Time Spiral

 This is where things get exciting. Unlike traditional delays that simply repeat your signal, Spring BBD mode simulates actual spring physics:

• Delay taps that bounce: Change your delay time and watch the taps overshoot their target, then bounce back and forth until they settle — creating gorgeous pitch modulation and movement
• 1 to 8 independent taps: Use fewer taps (1-2) for clear spring effects, or dial up to 8 for swarms of evolving echoes
• Weight & Tension controls: Shape how your springs behave — make them sluggish and smooth, or fast and bouncy
• Spread parameters: Give each tap its own personality for rich, complex textures
• Ready-to-go presets: Jump right in with No Osc, One Slow, Medium, and Fast spring behaviors
• Watch it happen: The animated scope shows your taps bouncing in real-time

🎛️ Classic Delay Modes Too

 Not just about the springs — Time Spiral also gives you:

• Digital Delay: Pristine, transparent delays with smooth parameter changes
• BBD Mode: Authentic Bucket Brigade Device emulation for that warm, analog character with vintage pitch wobbling

⏱️ Flexible Timing That Works Your Way

 Mix and match three timing modes that work together:

• Beats: Musical subdivisions that sync to your tempo (1/32 to whole notes, including dotted rhythms)
• Milliseconds: Precise timing from -1000 to +1000 ms
• Samples: Sample-accurate control for phase tricks and comb filtering
• Go negative: Yes, you can create negative delays to push tracks ahead in your mix!
• Pitch mode: Short delay times show you the musical note for instant resonator/Karplus-Strong effects
• Ping-Pong: Bouncing stereo delays for width and movement

🎨 Shape Your Sound with Advanced Filtering

 See your sound while you sculpt it:

• Three filter types: One-Pole, SVF, and IIR — each with its own character
• Low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass: Choose where you want to shape the frequency spectrum
• Filter before, after, or in the feedback loop: Total routing flexibility (careful with resonance in feedback — it builds with each repeat!)
• Real-time spectrum analyzer: Watch your audio unfold with adjustable FFT resolution
• Interactive frequency response graph: Visual feedback from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with zoom controls

🔥 Add Character with Drive & Dynamics

• Drive/Saturation: From subtle warmth to full-on gritty distortion
• Built-in compressor: Keep your delays controlled or use ducking to make them step aside when your dry signal plays
• Hard limiter: Set your ceiling to prevent clipping or intentionally crunch things up
• Full metering: See your levels at every stage — input, post-drive, gain reduction, and output

📊 Professional Loudness Tools

• Five measurement standards: Momentary, Short Term, Integrated, True Peak, and VU meters
• Color-coded history graphs: Watch your loudness over time with smart auto-scaling
• Zoom through time: Scroll to examine your levels at different time scales
• Customizable display: Show only the meters you need

👀 See What You Hear

• Animated delay scope: Watch your delay taps move through time with pitch markers showing ±24 semitones
• Total delay display: See beats, milliseconds, and samples all at once
• Helpful tooltips: Hover over anything for instant guidance
• Clean, resizable interface: Scales beautifully to fit your workspace
