Hello Klentock and welcome to S|M forum.

I think the idea would be to reverse the sound before you send it to the input of delay.

Please if you could put the result link you've just found and may be I can make it work for you.

Cheers,

Are you sure about that "any"? My helps are quite theoretical & confusing! 😉

There are actually two types of reverses. If you don't need the output to be prior the source, you can simply have a sort of a sampler that reads the source in chunks of 4th, 8th, 16th, reverses the material and puts it out AFTER the source, on a specified delay time. That's doable in SM, I think.

But if you mean those pre-source effects like Manowar's Eric Adams voice in "Master Of Revenge" you need some buffering from the sequencer and I really don't know if it is supported in SM or how to do that. I suspect some VSTs have that capability, like some compressors with look-ahead, but surely not for an entire bar, I suppose.

Hi,

here's a link to the post i referred to.

Reversing Incoming Audio

If anyone has heard the line 6 reversed delay either on the DL-4 or the rackmount pro then I'm after something like that.

I'm not quite sure how it's done but one interesting factor is that when the delay time is very short it sounds rather ring modulator-esque.

Like i said before I'm completely new when it comes to coding so I practically have no idea how to achieve what I'm after.

Dear klentock,

the code you saw on the thread is not S|M standard code. It can not be used directly in S|M. And it seems that the mentioned thread was left unanswered and nobody brought up the issue ever again.

Unfortunately I may not be able to help you get this working in a short time, but I also look forward to find a solution for this since I need it for myself as well.

Best Regards,

Welcome klentock Reverse delay. Thats a great idea. I haven't a clue how to do that either but it sounds interesting.
