01Overview

FLIP takes a finished loop, vocal or melody and processes it through a fixed, musically ordered chain of nine effect stages. Its Engine stage grabs a slice of audio and plays it back in one of seven modes, while Saturate, Destroy, Space and Echo add warmth, grit, reverb-style tails and ping-pong delays. Each stage has its own bypass, and an output limiter sits at the end of the chain. The developer describes it as a tool for trap, drill and modern hip-hop production.

Engine and Destruction Tools for Reshaping Audio

The Engine stage is the core of FLIP. It can grab any window of audio from 20 ms up to two seconds and play it forward, reversed, repeated, stuttered, skipped, held or frozen. Pitch can be shifted up or down 24 semitones independently of speed, and stutter divisions run from 1 to 16.

The Destroy stage offers five algorithms: CRUSH for bit and sample-rate reduction, FOLD for wavefolder distortion, SHIFT for frequency shifting, GLITCH for sample-and-hold stutter and RIP for cubic distortion. Only the selected algorithm runs, controlled by one Amount knob and one Mix knob.

Space, Echo and Output Control

Space offers Room, Hall and Freeze characters, with lengths from 20 ms to 8 seconds and input-gated ducking so the tail stays out of the way of the processed signal. Echo is a ping-pong delay with times from 10 ms to 4 seconds and feedback up to 95%.

The Master section provides output trim from -24 dB to +12 dB, stereo width up to 200% and a peak limiter with an adjustable ceiling. The developer notes that FLIP adds no latency, including in the limiter, so it can be used while tracking live.
