• FilterOff / LP / BP / HP — Optional filter on the reversed signal: Off, Lowpass, Bandpass or Highpass
• Filter Freq100 to 20000 Hz — Cutoff / centre frequency of the filter
• Mix0 to 100% — Dry/wet blend

Best uses

• Backwards textures from live input
• Reverse swells on vocals and guitars
• Filtered reverse ambience under a mix
• Experimental sound design

Properties

Signal chain: Input → Circular Buffer (1–10 s) → Backwards Read → Optional RBJ Filter (Q 0.707, independent state per channel) → Mix → Output. The read head runs in reverse while the write head moves forward, so the reversed audio is continuous rather than chunked; filter changes do not reset the filter (no clicks); zero latency.
