WHY SIPHON

Never lose a moment again.

Always Recording

Siphon captures everything passing through it into a rolling buffer. Play something you like? Go back and grab it. No need to hit record first. The buffer is always running, from 1 to 10 minutes.

Chop & Rearrange

Select any region and chop it into rhythmic slices. One click to shuffle them into a new pattern. Drag to reorder. Right-click for reverse and pitch options. Build new ideas from anything you played.

Drag to DAW

When you have an arrangement you like, drag the filename straight into your DAW playlist. Individual chops export with Shift+drag. Auto-named with detected key and BPM.
FEATURES

Record. Select. Chop. Rearrange. Export.

Rolling Buffer

1, 2, 5, or 10 minute recording buffer. Always capturing. Go back and grab any moment without ever pressing record.

Chop Engine

Slice selections into rhythmic pieces from 1/4 beat to 4 bars. Resolution locks to the BPM at capture time so chops never shift.

Per-Chop Pitch & Reverse

Right-click any chop for reverse and pitch shifting up to 24 semitones. High-quality signalsmith-stretch engine with zero CPU cost during playback.

Drag & Drop Loading

Drop any WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, or OGG file directly onto the plugin. It loads into the chop engine instantly with silence automatically trimmed.

Key & BPM Detection

Real-time key and BPM detection in the header. Snapshot analysis runs on captured audio for accurate key labeling in exported filenames.
