Developer Yuri Turov of Phonolyth has released Velvet Machine for macOS (AU+VST3) and Windows (VST3), previously available only on iOS.

Velvet Machine is described as “a sonic texture generator / blur / non-linear reverb effect”, based on real-time convolution with enveloped velvet noise.

It’s designed to:

• Stretch and blur out even short sounds to lengths of up to 10 seconds.
• Produce reverb-like textures with flexible volume envelope (including reverse, fading in and out, pulsating etc.).
• Work as a variable density random multi-tap delay (bordering on granular-like sounds).

Features:

• Flexible volume envelope with arbitrary number of segments and curvature.
• Effect time ranging from 50 ms to 10 s.
• Response density adjustable from 1 to 2000 repeats per second.
• Predelay up to 1 s.
• Host tempo sync for time and predelay.
• High cut and low cut filters for the effected signal.
• Mix adjustable from 100% dry to 100% wet.
• Mix Lock to switch presets while keeping the dry/wet mix constant.
• Fully resizable vector-based UI.
• Cross-platform preset format.
• The Mac version is also a Universal Binary 2, meaning it runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon.
