FALSE MEMORY is a real-time audio disintegration effect. Feed it any sound and watch it decay. A tape left in the sun. A corrupted file half-recovered from a dead drive. A memory dissolving as you try to hold onto it.

Turn up MEMORY and the destruction begins. Everything else shapes how the sound falls apart.

DESTRUCTION ENGINE

The Analog / Digital slider is the soul of the effect. Slide left for warm, organic decay: Cassette wobble, Reel-to-reel saturation, VHS tracking errors. Slide right for cold, precise corruption: Lo-fi aliasing, Circuit-bent glitches, Data-mosh block artifacts.

Drift destabilizes pitch and timing. At low settings it breathes. Cranked up, the signal loses its grip on reality.

Damage controls how aggressively the signal gets torn apart.

ATMOSPHERE

Fog smears the frequency spectrum into clouds. Three modes: Tonal keeps harmonic structure intact, Inharmonic scatters it, Evolving slowly morphs between the two.

Ghosts lets past audio bleed through the current signal. Echoes repeat rhythmically. Imprints leave residual traces. Granular scatters fragments across time.

TEXTURE

Hiss adds tape noise, from subtle warmth to a roaring floor.
Crackle introduces vinyl pops and surface damage.

SET IT AND FORGET IT

Evolve lets the destruction deepen automatically over time. Pick a duration from 1 to 64 minutes. Walk away. Come back to something completely different.

The Randomize button rerolls all destruction parameters instantly. Hit it until something clicks.
