skippodisk is a free AUv3 plugin and standalone app. It features algorithm that imitates compact disc reading errors and adds feedback for some comb filtering. controls: * main control is a 2-dimensional slider that changes delay time / buffer size using value on X axis and feedback (positive and negative, -0.997 to 0.997) on Y axis. This control adds some creative comb-like effect. * algorithm settings: [ auto ] enables automatic cd skipping. [ dropout ] enables adding silence. Use both [auto] and [dropout] with zero feedback value (in the centre of touch control) to achieve the effect of a CD audio glitch * [ bypass ] control and volume control. This slider is in low value state by default.
