Recursion by folina vs Prism Pop

Recursion is a delay and feedback effect built around inherited mutation. In a conventional delay, a sound repeats. In Recursion, it evolves. Each generation passes through a changing recursive system before becoming the source for the next. Timing drifts. Memories smear together. Sudden tears disturb the signal. Those disturbances are then inherited by everything that follows. The result can move from subtle animated echoes and strange doubling to deteriorating rhythmic patterns, unstable ambient spaces, and dense halls of increasingly distant memories. Seven controls keep the process immediate. Memory determines the spacing between generations. Recursion determines how deep the family tree grows. Decay determines how long those generations survive. Smear, Drift, and Tear determine how faithfully—or badly—the signal remembers its past. Recursion isn't designed to be a perfectly behaved delay. It's designed to remember. Incorrectly. Features: Self-mutating recursive delay and feedback processing Each generation inherits changes from the generation before it Independent control over recursive depth, memory spacing, and decay time Continuous bounded drift and instability Smearing that transforms distinct echoes into evolving washes Tear events introduce abrupt mutations into the recursive history From subtle animated echoes to deeply unstable feedback structures Designed for drums, synths, guitars, vocals, sound design, and ambient processing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Behavior Note: Recursion is intentionally less predictable than a conventional delay. At high Mix settings, more of the immediate dry attack is replaced by the delayed recursive signal. Short sounds may therefore seem quieter as Mix approaches fully wet. Around 50% Mix is recommended when you want to preserve the original attack. Recursive processing can also produce occasional abrupt transient or crackle-like textures as generations mutate and interact, particularly with sustained material, aggressive settings, or parameter movement. These behaviors are part of Recursion's unstable character.

Prism Pop is a generative iOS synthesizer and AUv3 plugin designed for organic sound design, ambient exploration, and effortless musical discovery. Built on a custom C++ DSP engine, Prism Pop pairs intuitive controls with four distinct generative algorithms—Bubble, Rainbow, Cloud, and Shine—to transform simple inputs into sprawling, prismatic soundscapes, shimmering arpeggios, and cascading delay tails. Whether running standalone for desktop or mobile jam sessions, or embedded inside your favorite host DAW like GarageBand, AUM, or Cubasis, Prism Pop brings instant movement and texture to your signal chain. KEY FEATURES 4 Generative DSP Engines: Switch seamlessly between organic textures, shimmering pings, warm ambient clouds, and resonant tonal motion. AUv3 Plugin Ready: Seamlessly load multiple instances into GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Drambo, or any iOS AUv3 host. Standalone Generative Engine: Plug in headphones or connect MIDI controllers for standalone sound design sessions. Clean & Focused Interface: Zero clutter or hidden menus—designed to keep you locked in the creative flow state. Low CPU Overhead: Optimized native C++ audio processing ensures smooth performance across all supported iPad and iPhone models.
