Slingshot · VST3 / AU · Mac + Windows

    You've heard this on records. You've never made it.

    Reversed echoes that rush up into the drop — stacked, tempo-synced, generated live from your own audio. There is no manual version of this. That's the point.

    Hear it — one tap

    Same snare — dry, then with Slingshot. No other plugin makes this sound.

    “Slingshot really takes what PreVerb does to the next level but with DELAY! Both are incredible, but this one adds a whole lot of movement to the intro of your sample!”
    DJ A.P.
    “Just like preverb, does exactly what it should do. Makes the effect very easy to apply and saves a lot of time. Also, allows you to experiment much easier. Great price as a bundle with preverb. Recommended. :)”

    “Slingshot is a wild concept. I've faked reversed echo a million times, but having it live in the session is crazy. Put it on a snare before a drop and it just rushes up into the hit. The Tape delay character sounds super thick.”

    Reverse delay

    Your delay plugin can’t do this.

    You know the workaround: bounce the clip, reverse it, drag it back, nudge it until it lines up — then do the whole thing again when the tempo changes. Slingshot builds that swell in front of your sound as an insert, and stops it dead right where the drop lands.

    Feedback · Time · Sync

    Echo that arrives before the sound.

    Feedback sets how many repeats, the note division sets their spacing, and the lead-in is the two multiplied — handed to your DAW as latency so the build lands ahead of the transient.

    Six characters

    Every repeat runs the filter again.

    The far end of the swell is darker and narrower than the near end, the way a real feedback loop dulls each pass. Six flavours decide how that decay behaves.

    Capture

    Print the swell. Drag it in.

    Arm CAPTURE, play the sound once, and the printed lead-in lands in the drop zone — trimmed to the hit, placed on the grid, ready to pull straight onto a track.

    What Preverb did for reverse reverb, Slingshot does for delay.

    The LEC Deal — buy it once, own it forever

    One-time payment No subscription No iLok Works offline

    A sound that didn't exist before

    Slingshot isn't a delay with a reverse button. It's a new effect: stacked reversed echoes, generated live from your own audio, rushing up into the drop instead of trailing off it. No other plugin makes this sound.

    Unique to Slingshot — not a preset on an old ideaTempo-locked automatically — it's your audio, not a stranger's sample

    Preverb or Slingshot?

    Not a matched pair. One automates a trick everyone knows; the other didn't exist anywhere else. A transition is a build and a release.

    Preverb

    The swell before.

    A reverb tail that blooms into your sound, so the drop lands like it was always coming. Risers, vocal lead-ins, transitions.

    Slingshot

    The release.

    Stacked reversed echoes that rush up into the drop and fling it forward. Drums, vocals, one-shots.

    Most producers end up wanting both — so the pair is priced like it.

    Everything in the box

    Reverse Delay

    Discrete reversed echoes that build UP into your sound instead of trailing after it — the backwards-tape swell, as an instant insert.

    Capture & Print

    Arm CAPTURE, play your sound, and the printed pre-delay lands in a drop zone you drag straight into your DAW as a WAV.

    Pitch + Formant

    Shift the echoes' pitch and their formant/timbre independently — or link them for natural, chipmunk-free transposition.

    6 Delay Characters

    Clean, Tape, Analog, Diffuse, Ping-Pong, and Filtered — each shaping the reversed taps' tone and feel.

    SNAP Transients

    Shape the transient of the delayed signal — snappier, more present echoes, or a softer, washier swell. Wet-only, so your dry stays clean.

    33 Presets + A/B

    33 factory presets across drums, vocals, synths, dub, ambient & FX — plus save-your-own, A/B compare, a draggable lead-in curve, and true latency-compensated bypass.

    Mac + Windows

    Universal VST3 + AU on macOS, VST3 on Windows. One license unlocks every format on both platforms.

    How it works

    01

    Drop it on a track

    Insert Slingshot on a vocal, drum, or one-shot. Pick a character and shape the lead-in on the live curve.

    02

    Dial the lead-in

    Time, Feedback, Shape, Tone, Width, Pitch + Formant — the reversed echoes crest right as your sound hits, perfectly time-aligned.

    03

    Capture & drag out

    Hit CAPTURE to print the pre-delay, then drag the rendered WAV straight into your session. Done.

    Will it work for me?

    Short version: if you make music in any major DAW on Mac or Windows, yes.

    ⚠️ Pro Tools: not natively — Pro Tools only loads AAX, and Slingshot doesn't currently ship AAX. It can run inside a VST3 wrapper (Blue Cat's PatchWork, DDMF Metaplugin), but if Pro Tools is your only DAW, know that before you buy.

    Not supported: Linux · iPad/iOS · 32‑bit systems · VST2‑only hosts (Live 9 and earlier — VST3 needs Live 10.1+)

    Questions, answered

    How is Slingshot different from Preverb?

    Preverb builds a reverse REVERB — one smeared wash that swells in. Slingshot builds reverse DELAY — discrete reversed echoes that stack and crescendo, with feedback and six delay characters. Same family, different tool: wash vs. rhythm.

    Does Slingshot work in FL Studio / Logic / Ableton?

    Yes — all three, plus every other major VST3/AU DAW. FL and Live load the VST3; Logic and GarageBand load the AU.

    Does it work on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)?

    Yes, natively. No Rosetta required.

    Can I use one purchase on my Mac AND my PC?

    Yes. One license key activates both platforms.

    Does it work offline?

    Yes — fully. Your license key is validated on your machine: no account, no server check, no internet required.

    Does it work in Pro Tools?

    Not natively — Pro Tools only loads AAX. A VST3 wrapper like Blue Cat's PatchWork works, but buy with that understanding.

    Isn't this just a reversed delay I could make myself?

    No. Reversing a printed tail gives you one static, frozen sound. Slingshot generates the reversed echoes live from your audio — stacked taps with feedback, six delay characters, independent pitch and formant, and a draggable lead-in curve, all tempo-aware and editable in real time. That's a different sound, and no other plugin makes it.

    Should I get Slingshot alone or the Preverb + Slingshot bundle?

    Slingshot alone if you only need the reverse-delay swell. The $70 bundle if you want both effects — Preverb's reverse reverb for the build-up, Slingshot's reverse delay for the throw — since $98 of plugins for $70 is cheaper than buying Preverb separately later.
