CHRONOMORPH
Make time move. Keep the beat.
A creative time-movement effect. CHRONOMORPH slows, rushes and bends playback inside a musical cycle — and always brings it back on the beat at the cycle boundary.
Behind → Zero → Ahead
Three states, one cycleIt drags
Playback slows down and falls behind the grid. The groove leans back and the take feels heavier.
It rushes
Playback speeds up and pushes in front of the grid. The same bar suddenly sounds urgent.
It lands
At the end of the cycle the timing is back to zero. Nothing drifts, nothing needs nudging.
Bend the bar. Keep the grid.
Move time as far as you like inside the cycle. CHRONOMORPH puts it back where your project expects it, so you can print the take and carry on mixing.
Two engines
TAPE
Pitch followsVarispeed. Speed and pitch move together, the way a reel does when you lean on it. For drops, dives, drunk swing and anything that should sound physical.
STRETCH
Pitch lockedTime-stretch. The key stays put while the groove bends underneath it. Pitch follow blends between locked and full tape behaviour.
Five controls
Everything else is a detailAmount
Depth of the whole time movement, from a barely-there push to a full varispeed dive.
0 — 100 %Inertia
How willingly the movement changes. Snap between states, or glide like something with weight.
Snap — glideMotion
The shape of the cycle. Paint it by hand, generate it rhythmically, or recall a factory motion.
Paint / Generate / PresetCycle
The musical window the movement lives in — and the point where it has to be back in time.

Parallel blend against the untouched signal, for doubling, flams and half-committed grooves.

Draw your motion
Drag to paint the movement across the cycle. Four slots, copy forward, clear in one click.
Or generate it
Build rhythmic movement from a few settings and a symmetric or lopsided drag / rush balance.
Host sync or free run
Follow the transport, or set a free BPM and re-sync on demand for sound design outside the grid.
Readable at a glance
Tempo, playback rate and balance sit on the panel, so you always know what the plugin is doing.
Twelve motions to start from
Tape Drift, Varispeed Dive, Slow Bar Fast Bar, Groove Push Pull, Drag And Snap, Rush And Wait, Micro Stutter, Phrase Bend and four drawn shapes. Save your own next to them.

System requirements
One licence, three machines
Install & activateYour serial activates CHRONOMORPH on up to three machines at the same time — studio, laptop, and one spare. Deactivate a slot from inside the plugin to free it for a new machine.
Licences are personal and permanent. A reinstall does not cost you a slot as long as you deactivate first; if a machine is lost, support resets the slot for you.
Questions
Will my audio stay in time?+
Yes. However far the movement goes inside the cycle, the timing is back to zero at the cycle boundary, so every bar starts locked to the grid.
Does it work on live input?+
It is designed for playback and mixing. Because rushing needs look-ahead, the reported latency makes it unsuitable for tracking or live monitoring. Use it on recorded material, loops, busses or the master.
Will it change the pitch?+
Only if you want it to. TAPE moves pitch with speed like a varispeed machine. STRETCH keeps the key fixed, and pitch follow blends between the two.
Can I automate the parameters?+
All parameters are exposed to the host for automation and saved with the project.
Is there a macOS version?+
Not in the first release. CHRONOMORPH ships as a Windows x64 VST3. Other platforms and formats are on the roadmap, not yet dated.
I lost my serial. Now what?+
Write to support with the e-mail address you used at checkout and we resend it. The same address handles machine-slot resets.
