01Overview

RP-Reverse is an effects plugin from Rob Papen for producers who want to add unusual textures to their tracks. It takes the incoming audio and plays it back in reverse, and the resulting sound can be synced to the project tempo so it locks into the groove. Recording of the reversed audio can be triggered in several ways. The plugin is aimed at creative use on drum loops, vocals and instruments, and it works within VST2, AU and AAX hosts on Windows and macOS.

03In depth

Reverse effect with tempo sync and triggering

The core of RP-Reverse is its reversal of the incoming audio. The reversed result can be tempo-synced, which helps the effect sit rhythmically inside a track rather than floating free of the beat.

Recording of the reversed audio can be triggered in various ways, giving you control over when the effect appears in a arrangement.

Filters, distortion, LFO and volume control

Beyond the reverse effect itself, RP-Reverse includes distortion, two analog-modeled filters and a comb filter that can be applied to the reversed signal. A built-in LFO can modulate both the reversed audio and the filters.

The top section has a separate volume dial for the reversed audio and a dedicated mute button. Both are designed for easy automation in your host program, which suits fades and sudden cuts within a song.
