§ what it does

spread-spectrum blur

One chirp blurs the sound across the spectrum and a second, running the opposite way, refocuses it. The refocus always runs slightly mistimed, so the signal never fully reassembles.

FOCUS is that mistiming. Open it and material dissolves into glissandi locked to the chirp grid, then pulls back toward the source as the knob returns. RATE sets the grid, from about 2.8 seconds down to about 0.5 seconds. SWEEP sets how far each chirp climbs, STACK adds ghost copies elsewhere on the grid, and DIR runs the chirps up, down or alternating.

It runs the same DSP as the module in Tangle; nothing is cut down for the standalone version. One licence covers both: this plugin, and the same module unlocked inside the rack.

§ every control

what each knob does

Five controls, no menus. Here they are on the panel itself.

rateChirp period, from about 2.8 seconds down to about 0.5 seconds. It sets the grid the sweeps lock to.
sweepSets how far each chirp sweeps in frequency.
focusDe-chirp timing. Fully down it is about a sixteenth of a period off, the closest it gets to reassembling the sound; fully up it is about a fifth of a period off.
stackBrings in two extra refocus voices, which place ghosts of the input elsewhere on the grid. Fully down they sit about 18 dB below the main voice; fully up, about 7 dB below.
dirSets the chirp direction. Up sweeps rise and down sweeps fall. Alt alternates the two, which de-chirps the previous period with the wrong sign.
mixDry/wet balance. Fully down is dry only; fully up is the effect alone.
§ built-in modulation

it modulates itself

Shamaly Poetry ships with the full CV/logic modulation section every Tangle standalone carries. Two slots, each running one of six modulators: pick one from a slot's tabs, drag a patch cable onto any knob, and that control moves on its own, no DAW automation required. Both slots can run the same kind, each its own copy, and slot 2 can be switched off.

lfoSmooth cyclic movement: sine, triangle, square, sample & hold, or a shape you draw.
curveA looping contour you draw by hand: smooth, spiked or stepped.
noiseStepped, smoothed or slewed randomness for texture and wander.
transientListens for hits, then fires a trigger plus an envelope on every transient it hears.
env followTracks how loud you are playing and turns that into a control voltage.
timingSpreads hits as evenly as possible across a bar, so rhythms land musically instead of bunched.
§ always recording

it keeps what you just played

A rolling capture strip runs beneath the panel, always recording the plugin's output. No transport, nothing to arm. Played something great while you were just tweaking? Click-drag across the history waveform to select it, then drag the slice straight into your DAW timeline.

ARM flips it to ring-capture for hands-free takes.

§ one purchase, two plugins

it unlocks in tangle too

Shamaly Poetry is a module from Tangle, the free cable-patchable rack. Buying it here licenses both: this standalone plugin, and shamaly poetry unlocked inside the rack, where you can patch it into any other module you own. There is no second purchase and no upgrade path; the rack itself costs nothing.

Sign in once in the rack and your licences follow your account: a module bought this morning appears at the next licence check, on every machine you install on.
