Not a delay plugin. A subtle psychoacoustic perception processor that manipulates how the listener thinks the sound is positioned, sized, coloured, or emotionally framed — without pushing the audio into obvious effect-territory. Coordinated perceptual illusions, not transformations.

Sub-30ms inter-aural timing differences create phantom positioning without audible delay — the brain localises to the earlier channel arrival.
Subtle per-channel gain offsets shift perceived centre image using the brain's dominant-ear localisation shortcut.
Spectral tilt and even-order harmonic content trigger the perceptual category of "warmth" without audible saturation artefacts.
Combined air-absorption simulation and micro-reverb tail control perceived source distance independently of raw loudness.
Makes vocals feel closer, warmer, or more intimate without adding reverb or delay tails that colour the mix.
Guitars and synths get width and depth without mid-side phasing issues or mono compatibility problems.
Pushes elements forward or backward in the perceptual field using cues rather than volume — preserving headroom.
Adds life to static sounds without the tell-tale flutter of obvious modulation effects.
Gives the full mix subtle spatial dimension and coherence without any single effect being identifiable.
Perception presets allow full-chain psychoacoustic adjustments on the master without destructive processing.
Builds available once beta phase begins. Early testers get direct input on feature development.
Micro-pitch detune, L/R phase shift, exciter/saturation, and a psychoacoustic pre-delay verb. Next focus: something more immediately noticeable on instruments to balance the chain's subtlety.
Looking for producers and mix engineers to test early builds and give feedback on the perception algorithms and workflow.
