Key Features
Sinevibes present their take on the audio reverser in the form of Skew; a non-linear audio reverser with precise transport synchronisation so that you can play input audio live into a buffer while Skew plays it back in reversed segments.
Featuring six non-linear curves for warping audio playback speed Skew not only reverses audio but is also effective at producing a number of interesting sonic qualities, and can in fact create multiple precise effects such as reverse, tape rewind, pitch slides, detune, glitching and scratching.
Owing to fine calibration, responsiveness and a DJ-style crossfade control Skew can easily be automated or manipulated in real-time to produce dynamic movement through the effects it produces.
Product Ref: 234161
Sinevibes Skew offers a fresh take on reversal engines by producing eccentric and distinctive reversal effects with unique elements and quality of life features. By constantly recording incoming into a buffer, Skew is capable of playing back reversed segments live in response to the input signal. Live reversal means that experimentation is immediate, so you can adjust Skew's extensive range of parameters and react directly to the changes you make, or apply automation and play live into Skew. Your playing will be recorded straight into Skew's buffer and affected in response to your pre-recorded automation, therefore opening up the potential for a reactive and engaging playing style.
Skew offers a number of features that maximise the potential of real-time playing and manipulation. Featuring fine calibration, responsiveness and uniquely a DJ-style crossfade control so Skew can be automated and manipulated with a natural sense of performance in real-time.
Skew's most distinctive feature must be its selection of non-linear curves that are implemented to bend pitch in various ways; building unique reversal effects that will stand out in your mix. Sinevibes offer 6 different curves for pitch bends Up, Down, Exponential Up, Exponential Down, Up/Down and Down/Up. Each curve presents dissimilar yet equally captivating pitch bend effects to present a comprehensive range that might be affected by Skew's series of sonic sculpting tools and tuned smoothing enveloped with optional overlapping to develop consistently unique and unusual sounds. Each curve finds its own specific space in a mix; the "Exponential Up" curve might build excitement toward a drop, while conservative use of the "Down" curve might be strategically applied to precise beats in a drum loop for offbeat and peculiar rhythms.
Sinevibes Skew is highly capable of creating multiple rhythmically precise effects thanks to the reversal engine's fractional chunk size adjustment; offering 256 possible values ranging from 1/16th notes to 16 bars. Skew's reversal engine is perfectly synced to the host transport so you can push chunk size to any level you require and remain confident that Skew will remain rhythmically precise. Skew's precision presents a number of weird and wonderful effects such as reverse, tape rewind, pitch slides, detune, glitching and scratching that build excitement and energy into your mix while implementing eccentric sonic elements that are sure to keep listeners switched on.
Skew features an intuitive user interface that is thematic throughout the Sinevibes plugin effects range. By implementing colour-coded graphic elements, consistent name, mapping, value, and unit implemented for all parameters in both graphic user interface and automation menus as well as a varied range of presets and preset management functions Sinevibes have granted accessibility to an otherwise highly complex effects unit, so that your time is spent easily exploring the unique sonic abilities of Skew rather than tediously digging through menus.
