Meldaproduction has announced the release of a new MSoundFactory addon which provides producers, sound designers, and film composers with an engine dedicated entirely to the art of reverse sound.
A powerful and creative sound design tool, Rewind instantly crafts everything from beautiful, nostalgic pads and poetic chimes to mysterious, ominous textures, all based on the concept of playing sound backwards.
Rewind’s workflow is streamlined for maximum creativity. Users select one of 128 core sound sources, and the dual core engines—a backwards-playing Granular sampler and a reverse Tape Loop—instantly generate a unique sonic foundation. A dedicated Lo-Fi module adds character, while a comprehensive multi-mode Filter, dual Envelopes, and a full FX rack offer deep sound-shaping possibilities. For instant inspiration, a single click on the Randomiser creates new, unexpected patches.
Rewind features
- Create Evolving Cinematic Textures: Build complex, shifting soundscapes perfect for film, TV, and game scoring. The granular engine’s Chaos and Detune controls, combined with the reverse Reverb and Delay, can generate everything from subtle, mysterious beds to tense, ominous drones.
- Craft Authentic Lo-Fi & Nostalgic Pads: Instantly create the sound of beautiful, degraded memories. By combining the Lo-Fi module’s Digital and Analog controls with the Tape Loop’s Age and Wash functions, users can emulate the sound of old, worn-out tapes and vintage samplers with ease.
- Design Unique Rhythmic & Glitch Effects: Go beyond pads by using the Tape Loop’s tempo-synced Half and Double speed controls to create unique reverse rhythmic patterns. The fast filter envelope and granular Size controls are perfect for designing sharp, glitchy, or plucking sounds.
Rewind is available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX). It is on sale at an introductory price of €9 EUR for a limited time (regular €69 EUR). Owners of MSoundFactory or MSoundFactoryLE can get the plugin for free.
The offer is available at Plugin Boutique and from the Meldaproduction.
