01Overview

Rewind is an instrument from MeldaProduction, part of its MSoundFactory line, built around the idea of reversed sound. Its granular engine breaks a sample into small fragments called grains and plays them backwards, while a reverse tape loop adds a second layer of backward playback. The developer describes its character as lo-fi, with the potential to create poetic chimes, nostalgic pads and darker textures. It ships with 128 sound sources to start from.

03In depth

Granular engine and Lo-Fi character

The granular engine is the core of Rewind. You pick one of the 128 sound sources and set Position, Density and Size to decide where grains are taken from, how many play at once and how long each one lasts. Stereo Width, Chaos, Detune and Dust add stereo spread, unpredictability and crackle.

A Lo-Fi module adds grit and warmth. The Digital knob applies bit-crushing, while the Analog knob adds warmth, saturation and subtle pitch instability. A switch places the Lo-Fi stage before or after the filter, which changes how much the filter shapes the distortion.

Tape loop, filter and effects

The Tape Loop section captures synced audio and plays it backwards. The Rewind knob sets the amount of the effect, Half and Double shift playback an octave down or up, and Age, Wash, Regen and Fade control wear, smear, feedback and transitions.

The multi-mode filter offers Low-Pass, Band-Pass, High-Pass and Notch modes, with two ADSR envelopes for amplitude and filter cutoff. The FX section includes Chorus, Rotary, Flanger, Delay and Reverb modules that can be reordered in any sequence in the Order panel, followed by a Master section with EQ, stereo controls, a compressor, saturation and a maximizer.
