We've gone out of business. We've shut down. We've closed up shop.
The Adobe Premiere format version of SFX Machine debuted at NAMM in 1997 and
was released a few months later. It has been available in various formats for 20 years! Not sure, but
this may make SFX Machine the longest-selling audio effects plug-in in history.
SFX Machine RT (VST format) was
released in 2003, and SFX Machine Pro (VST / Audio Unit) has been on the market since 2006.
Along the
way, we also published Backwards Machine, Spectral Machine, ReSpatializer, and ChatterBlocker, not
to mention our special April 1st products like Turd Polisher Pro. We've had a pretty good run,
but all good things must come to an end.
Backwards Machine™ lets you reverse
continuous audio in real time!
Backwards Machine includes three effects:
| Reverse Playback |
Reverses and overlaps snippets
of the incoming audio, to produce an ongoing
backwards effect |
| Forward Backwards |
Smoothly cross-fades between forward and backward
versions of the incoming audio |
| Reverse Repeat |
Plays snippets of the input audio backwards,
twice. The second time, a slight vibrato is added |
|
|

Backwards Machine includes the following controls:
- REVERSER — This button
controls whether you hear the reversed audio (according to
whichever preset is selected) or the original
(forwards) audio. The REVERSER button has been deglitched
to avoid clicks when switching between forward and reverse
playback.
- TIME — This slider controls the delay
time; i.e., the length of each audio window ("snippet").
The default is 2 seconds, which tends to sound better than
very
short
or very long time settings.
The TIME control has been deglitched to avoid clicks when
adjusting the slider.
- FEEDBACK DEPTH — This
slider controls the amount of feedback. Often feedback is not
needed for these
effects,
so the default
is 0%.
- WET MIX — This
slider controls the loudness of the Backwards (wet / effect)
sound.
- DRY MIX — This
slider allows you to mix in some of the (dry / non-effect)
input signal.
Often you will want to
set this slider
to 0% (the default), but this slider can be used if you
want to hear some of the forwards sound along with the
backwards sound.
