Blur Time

Butterfly Effect reacts to what you are playing, slowly & continually evolving, like a foggy memory, adding a trail of familiarity to the whole track, blurring time. 

Add evolving mood to sparse piano arrangements, drive overtones and cinematic sweeps from synth pads or strings, add crystal shimmer soundscapes to keyboards and clean guitars, or reimagine your tracks underwater.
