What it does

Live Voice Backwards

Demonstrates the use of WaveWarp's live input functionality. Plug a microphone (or any other audio source!) into the "input" of your soundcard, hit "Play", and start speaking. You will experience the bizarre (and fun!) effect created by the Flipper which reverses the audio (buffer-by-buffer). For voices, this effect can lead to very interesting effects (e.g. making your speech sound like strange chants or alien-like, etc). By adjusting the reverse buffer lengths to be slightly different for each channel, the stereo space is greatly enhanced. The lowpass filter helps suppress the "pops" occurring at buffer transitions.

Experiment with all settings and with different input sources!
