 there's a bit of an explanation of each of the plugins below, but it's not a thorough documentation or a manual, it's just a bunch of notes i've written and a short description of the parameters

 you can use it to play synths using other instruments, like a guitar, or by whistling! it's quite fun

+- `length`: length of the grains
+
+this plugin will introduce a delay of `length` samples, since it has to record that many samples before being able to play them backwards
+
+in my experience values between 5000 and 8000 tend to work well, but you might want to experiment a bit to see what works for you

 ## contributing
 
 issues and prs are welcome, but please open an issue before making any big pr, i don't wanna have to reject a pr where you have put a lot of effort on. if you are fine with that, ig go ahead i'm not your mum
