A familiar sound. An uneasy feeling.

Let a note fall slowly and return, or make a deliberate descent part of your performance. Haunt works on incoming audio: Return and Sway keep moving, Detune holds a fixed offset, and Fall & Hold keeps new notes lower after the fall. Radio, Hiss and Wear add a separate layer of worn character. Pitch movement uses variable wet delay; live held pitch does not keep stretching the timing of your whole performance.

01
Start with a slow phrase
Insert Haunt on an audio track and try Slow Haunt in Return. Leave space between notes, then explore Haunt, Time and Mix.
02
Choose the movement
Try Sway for movement above and below the original pitch. Trigger FALL in Slowfall, Tape Stop or Fall & Hold; choose Detune for a constant offset.
03
Age the texture
Open Texture and add Radio and Wear independently. Hiss has its own level and Off setting; start quietly around -65 to -55 dBFS. Trim Output and compare with bypass.
