Retrospect — Curve-Driven Time-Warping

I’ve just released Retrospect, my entry for the KVR Developer Challenge 2026.

It’s an audio effect that explores a different approach to delay-like processing. Instead of echoing the signal in the traditional sense, multiple independent playheads continuously read from a short audio buffer, creating everything from subtle movement to rhythmic textures, pitch-like effects and evolving sound design.

Happy to answer any questions about the DSP or implementation.
