It's hard to explain--I visualize it a little better. It's basically about
reversing the actual samples (that make up a whole "sample") in a linear
fashion so that the sample overall folds over itself. The user could dictate
the curve by which it reverses, etc. This wouldn't really be a MOTM kind of
thing (although I guess it could be) but more of a VST Plugin kind of thing
or standalone digital module.

This may be a better explanation. Let's say the samples comprising a tone
are represented by the letters of the alphabet so that the tone is:
ABCDEFGHIJ
Now we put it through the wringer thus: ABCDEFEDCDEFGHIJ
Now we control the "curve" of the reversal:
AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEEFFFFEEEDDCDDEEEFFFFGGGGHHHHIIIIJJJJ

Make any sense? It's the drugs, I tell ya...
