Safari Pedals has announced the release of Hippie Elephant, a new granular reverb plugin for macOS and Windows.
Hippie Elephant is a dreamy, warbly granular reverb a swirling cloud machine that freezes, shimmers, and melts your audio into psychedelic textures. Shape the grain size with TIME, bend the space with PITCH, darken/brighten with TONE, and ride a built-in TREMOLO for hypnotic movement. It’s instant vintage-sci-fi ambience for guitars, vocals, synths, and beyond.
Hippie Elephant is built around a playable granular engine that turns reverb into a living texture. Tap FREEZE to capture a moment into an infinite pad, then morph its tone, pitch, and motion in real time perfect for ambient swells, post-rock beds, dream-pop verbs, and cinematic transitions.
Everything on the faceplate is designed for quick, musical results:
- TIME (Center) – Sets grain/reverb length and density from tight rooms to endless clouds.
- FREEZE (Button) – Grabs the current tail and holds it as an infinite texture; play over it or reshape it live.
- TONE (Left) – Tilt-style filter to darken for vintage tape-verb vibes or brighten for airy sparkle.
- PITCH (Right) – Shifts the reverb grains for chorus-like detune, shimmer, or deep dive textures.
- TREMOLO Section – Built-in movement for the wet signal:
- AMOUNT – Depth of the tremolo applied within the reverb tail.
- SPEED – Rate from slow pulses to rapid flutter.
- IN / OUT Sliders – Fast gain staging on the sides for clean or driven ambience.
- Blend / Auto Gain – Mix dry/wet to taste with optional auto-compensation when pushing levels.
