skippodisk is a free AUv3 plugin and standalone app. It features an algorithm that imitates compact disc reading errors and adds feedback for some comb filtering.

Controls

  • Main control is a 2-dimensional slider that changes delay time / buffer size using the value on the X axis and feedback (positive and negative, −0.997 to 0.997) on the Y axis. This control adds some creative comb-like effect.
  • Algorithm settings:
    • [ auto ] enables automatic CD skipping.
    • [ dropout ] enables adding silence. Use both [ auto ] and [ dropout ] with zero feedback (in the centre of the touch control) to get the effect of a CD audio glitch.
  • [ bypass ] control and volume control. This slider is in a low value state by default.
