"A big release from Sinevibes that once again brings a breath of fresh air to the effects scene."Synth Anatomy. Synth Anatomy is a music technology website based in Vienna which has its focus mainly on hardware and software which are strongly related to electronic music production.
"What if you could take the early reflections part of a digital reverb, and turn it into an undulating, stereo-phasing, diffusing blurring granulating unison alchemic wonder? And what if you could give it an easy-to-grok UI? Sinevibes did just that, and the results are unlike anything else."CDM (Create Digital Music). Create Digital Music is an online magazine and community for musicians, sound designers, DJs, and producers using technology.
Binaural Time Diffusion
Vague is a binaural time diffusion processor. In its core, the signal travels through a virtual space comprised of 16 all-pass comb filter stages, with their delay times progressively increasing from start to end. The more stages the signal passes through, the more blurred and smeared it becomes, losing its definition and transient sharpness. But Vague goes much further than this: it offers binaural expansion via alternating, stereo-opposed time offsets in the individual all-pass stages, which adds quite a unique, three-dimensional vibe.
Another very special feature is the four output snapshots taken as the signal passes through the virtual space: smoothly crossfading between them not only changes the diffusion density but also makes the timeline granulated. Moreover, Vague can run multiple independent LFOs to modulate its main parameters, creating a wide variety of rich and charismatic effects: time diffusion and dimensional expansion, blurred unison, granular scrubbing, psychedelic reverberation, and much more.
