Regen by ToneCarver is at its heart a looper plugin (a la Frippertronics) that is well suited for ambient/textural/soundscape type layering. It can be a simple looper but also offers deeper dive controls to modify playback of recorded material.

It features four independent loopers ("tracks") that are built up from individually recorded audio segments ("layers"). Recorded material in the layers and tracks can be manipulated (playback rate, direction, blend, pan, level, start offset) post-recording for creative playback.

Regen accepts stereo input and supports up to 4 stereo outputs. Regen allows Undo and Redo of recorded material and supports control via MIDI.

Changes in v1.1:

Fixed a bug that could cause Regen to crash if any single recorded layer gets reaaally loooooong, like around 2 billion samples, which is around 13 hours of recorded time at 44.1K (this would take about 16GB of memory). In this version, any single layer that exceeds the 2GB sample count is frozen at the max length and goes into overdub mode.
