Triprism

Bend echoes and space through a living prism.

@maru shared this effect so you can play it in your DAW, remix it or put it on your site.

What it does

A mono space effect, echo into reverb into compression, played through a living glass prism. The prism is rendered in real time: a beam of light enters it and splits into a spectrum, and moving your pointer across the panel aims the lamp and turns the camera.

The idea

Triprism treats the interface as part of the instrument, while keeping the sound simple and honest. The seven controls are the whole signal path: a feedback delay feeds a reverb, and a compressor after them glues the tail together before the output. The prism does not analyse or modulate the audio; it is the module's visual identity. When you leave the pointer still for a few seconds, the scene drifts into a slow orbit of its own, and your next movement takes over again.

Guide and controls

How it works.

The input first enters a single feedback delay. Time sets repeat spacing, Feedback controls how much returns to the line, and Mix balances that bounded echo against the dry signal.

The delay feeds a compiled room reverb whose Size changes the room-size coefficient and whose Mix controls the tail. A compressor follows the space stage; Amount maps from zero to a -36 dB threshold while its ratio, knee, attack, release and makeup remain fixed product choices.

The face packages the VGPU prism-light scene into its own browser artifact, including the WGSL shaders and wall-light mask. The module page loads those bytes from the catalog package, so the demo does not depend on Vercel's site or a remote renderer asset.
