Description
Sonic texture generator / blur / non-linear reverb
*** WARNING ***
Velvet Machine is an Audio Unit v3 plugin and requires a compatible host such as GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Audiobus etc. The provided standalone app does NOT support the currently deprecated Inter-App Audio.
***
Velvet Machine is a CPU-intensive effect at high settings. A *minimum* of 5th Gen iPad, iPhone 6s or 1st Gen iPhone SE is required to run a single instance at maximum settings. However, shorter times and/or lower densities use much less CPU.
***
Velvet Machine is a unique audio effect based on real-time convolution with enveloped velvet noise. It's designed to:
- Stretch and blur out even short sounds to lengths of up to 10 seconds
- Produce reverb-like textures with flexible volume envelope (including reverse, fading in and out, pulsating etc.)
- Work as a variable density random multi-tap delay (bordering on granular-like sounds)
PDF manual and video demos are available on developer website.
Features:
- Flexible volume envelope with arbitrary number of segments and curvature
- Effect time ranging from 50 ms to 10 s
- Response density adjustable from 1 to 2000 repeats per second
- Predelay up to 1 s
- Host tempo sync for time and predelay parameters
- High cut and low cut filters for the effected signal
- Mix adjustable from 100% dry to 100% wet
- Mix Lock to switch presets while keeping the dry/wet mix constant
What’s New
Version 1.2.0
- Time and Density controls will now turn red when the effect is silent, i.e. Time is set too low to fit even a single impulse at current Density (e.g. density of 1 ips and time less than 1 s, 2 ips and time less than 500 ms, etc.)
- Minor changes to the UI reflecting that we are now Phonolyth

Ratings and Reviews
Amazing for Ambient Music
I highly recommend this auv3 plugin - there’s a lot you can do with it to create interesting soundscapes. It can go a bit hard on the processor but that is understandable. The presets do a great job of showcasing what is possible and act as good places to start off from - a ‘Stretch too Far’ and ‘Cascades’ are my favorite for creating soothing ambient tracks. I’ve been running miRack, Spacecraft, Model 15, etc. into it and getting great results out.
An Ambient/Post Rock Gem
This effect is wonderful for ambient and post rock sounds. It does things that ordinarily require a few chained plugins to accomplish, and even then it would be difficult to imitate. It has a predictability about it that is rare in a reverb type effect, but it allows you to use it in ways normally reserved for a delay.
If washes of sound, and strange ambiences are your thing, this is the way.
A different way of thinking about delays
This app can be thought of as letting you build your own impuse response delay. Since it's an AU, you can chain them together and make some insane feedback effects. Not for people with a strong attachment to reality.
