ZEROPOINT

FLR·002

Through-zero timecode flanger

Alpha · in development · v0.3

The through-zero flange you’ve been chasing.

You’ve tried every flanger plugin, and none of them do what the records do: sweep all the way through zero, vanish, and bloom back out. They can’t, because a plugin delay never goes below zero. ZEROPOINT puts the real rig in your DAW: the tape machine, the delay that shoves it off course, and the servo that fights to pull it back.

How it works Get ZEROPOINT

The ZEROPOINT rack: tape machine controls on top, the delay in the middle, two timecode modules below

Grab the knob. Push the tape.Hear it lean, catch up, and swing through zero.

The rack: a tape machine, the delay that pushes it, and the brains that keep it in line.

How it moves

A real machine, not a delay

What you’re sweeping is a simulated tape machine, motor, tape and all, modeled from the physics and calibrated against real tape. That’s why it moves like one.

Push it and it pushes back

Lean on the sweep and the servo chases you: the capstan overshoots, loses lock, and runs away, the way two-inch tape does under a hand pushing too hard. Ease off and it settles.

The whoosh you can’t fake

The sweep travels all the way through zero: both copies line up, the sound folds into itself and vanishes, then blooms back from the top. A normal flanger never gets there. This one does, every pass.

Two-machine mode

Want the heaviest version? Put the dry side on a second locked machine so both copies carry the tape’s color: the sound of the deepest classic flanges.
