<h2>TAP Reflector</h2>

65
This plugin creates a psychedelic reverse audio effect. Overlapping
66
time intervals of incoming samples are treated as blocks called
67
'fragments'. Each fragment is reversed in time, and faded in and out
68
while played back to the output, hence creating a nearly constant
69
signal level with the mixture resembling a normal reverse-played track
70
only pieces of it are reversed.

The <i>Fragment Length</i> setting has a great impact on the sound of
89
the effect. It is best to set it to approximately match the tempo of
90
the track, so the Fragment Length is equal to the time of one
91
measure. Other settings may also be interesting (particularly larger
92
ones). This is a very experimental effect, so experimentation is also
93
required when using it.
96
When mixed together with the dry signal, the effect is somewhat
97
similar to reverse reverberation. If you aim for such a sound, set the
98
<i>Wet Level</i> a few dB-s below the <i>Dry Level</i>. On the other
99
hand, raise the Wet Level if you want a really psychedelic effect. It
100
is especially worth trying this plugin on sustained guitar and vocal
101
tracks. Percussive sounds also create a very characteristic atmosphere
102
when played backwards.

<h3>Summary of user controls</h3>
108
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1">
109
<tr><th>name</th><th>min. value</th><th>default value</th><th>max. value</th></tr>

<tr align="center"><td>Fragment Length [ms]</td>
115
<tr align="center"><td>Dry Level [dB]</td>
119
<tr align="center"><td>Wet Level [dB]</td>
129
If for some reason you need longer Fragment Length times, it is safe
130
to raise the value set by the <code>#define MAX_FRAGMENT_LEN</code> at
131
the top of <code>tap_reflector.c</code>.
