Summary

Vague is a binaural time diffusion processor available for Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms. It processes audio signals through a series of all-pass comb filters combined with unique binaural spatial effects to create three-dimensional, diffused sound textures.

Features

• Audio signal passes through 16 chained all-pass comb filter stages with progressively increasing delay times.
• Binaural expansion through alternating and stereo-opposing time offsets in the all-pass stages for a three-dimensional effect.
• Four output snapshots allow smooth crossfading, affecting diffusion density and introducing granulated timelines.
• Two-way pre-delay line enables the wet signal to optionally precede the dry signal.
• Multiple LFOs (two sine wave and four random triangle) for complex modulation of main parameters.
• Supports various channel configurations: mono to mono, mono to stereo, and stereo to stereo.
• Color-coded graphic interface with consistent parameter naming and scaling, including preset management and window scaling up to 200%.

Supported Formats and Platforms

• Mac: AU, VST3, AAX plugins compatible with macOS 10.9 or newer on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors.
• Windows: VST3, AAX plugins compatible with Windows 8.1 or newer on 64-bit Intel and AMD CPUs.
• Linux: VST3 plugin compatible with Linux 2020 or newer on 64-bit Intel and AMD CPUs.

Use Cases

Vague is suited for creating rich and charismatic audio effects such as time diffusion, dimensional expansion, blurred unison, granular scrubbing, and psychedelic reverberation. It can be used creatively in music production and sound design to enhance the spatial texture and depth of audio material.
