i'm using wbtweaks.jsfx-inc for persistent global customizations.

in the bangzero folder, replace wbtweaks.jsfx-inc with either wbtweaks-large.jsfx-inc or. new release, primarily for hidpi useability, but with a couple fun bits: "" overdub with more feedback, and "" is max delta, for replace. " " engages delta just a bit, for overdubbing with max feedback. "'" is minimum delta, or heel down, so loopy. Ps- there are 5 shortcuts that provide basic control of meta delta from a keyboard. Meta delta does looping, overdub, feedback and replace all in one! this has been my primary workflow for several years pre-dating wayback. and it can be nice to have a bit of the old audio audible while replacing it. i like minimum feedback a bit greater than zero so a little bit of old audio lingers in new loops. the minimum feedback and output level at max delta are configurable in settings. slam delta to maximum/toe down and the delay output is cut and feedback minimized, which effectively overwrites the moving loop with new input. this overdubs with delta controlling feedback. the maximum feedback level for delta is tweakable using the 'delta fb max' setting.Įngage delta and input is enabled. i have found that keeping feedback just below 100% lessens 'static loop fatigue' and encourages evolving loops by setting a time limit of sorts. at minimum/heel down input is off and feedback is high, so basically a moving loop in the big buffer. in echo mode, delta provides one pedal looping. The meta delta foot control is perhaps the most basic wayback trick. Hi folks! i'm going to try doing some little app notes for wayback fwiw. it's a nice trick for a multitrack looper, but i wonder how useful it is when only one track is generated, vs normal recording? so that might be trivial, if it works for stereo. a time machine is more fun than undo! ^)Įxport wav to project is just one function call in Super8. wayback's approach is to offer tools for creative flow with chaotic events. there's also zap, which momentarily kills feedback, basically erasing small bits of the loop. then basic warp back 1x kind of undoes back to that point. if looping, copy warp forth 1x can be used to set a checkpoint of sorts. wayback can approximate undo using basic warp back 1x in echo mode. i want to be careful that any future features preserve the simplicity & clarity of the tape echo scheme.Ĭoding undo could be tricky because of the interactions with other operations. it's a whole new ballgame for me too, and i need some perspective. also some time just playing with it & practicing the new capabilities. i've been coding wayback for 4 months and need a good long break. :^) about new features, for the time being wayback pretty much is what it is. ccslider.jsfx-inc is a wrapper gui for Js sliders. wbmachine.jsfx-inc implements all the wayback delay bits, including warp. Ps- wayback is built on a couple of maybe useful Js pseudo-classes. contextual help is shown below the wayback controls when the window is tall enough, with some details.

Latest release and install info in README.txt. this has limitations, but can be more immediate and agile. all the loopy bits stay as close as possible to the tape echo model, vs an EDP style DAW model. (Frippertronics anyone? :^) this simpler approach facilitates more organic, fluid 'looping' for me. for quite a while i've been using more primitive 'tape' style delays. I started looping ages ago on an Obie EDP. warp is time travel in a history of past echoes! but making warp work well was one essential cool bit after another. ha! early warp experiments were exciting. :^) warp was 'just' an 'easy' evolution of the big circular buffer i'd used for smooth length changes. some accidental synergies are too cool to ignore. it was simple, just echo & repro & a generic Js gui. that wasn't too hard, and i was back up and running with homegrown delays. i just needed freeze and external feedback fx. wayback began as a way to replace a copy protected delay with something portable. I've been doing echo/loop centric ambient for quite a while. there are keyboard shortcuts for essential live controls & an illuminating buffer scanner. the ui is semi-scaleable with light and dark modes. live looping controls are crossfaded to avoid clicks and even transitions. wayback supports external fx on feedback. warp, copy & extend operations use a big circular buffer to revert to prior audio & manipulate multiple loops.

wayback is a minimalist audio delay for live looping, with warp, which shifts the delay in time! wayback blends a basic delay with the essential abilities of a looper, while staying as close as possible to the delay paradigm. Hi folks! coming out of the cave for a bit to share a new gem of sorts.
