D16 Group has released Sigmund, a flexible delay unit for Windows and Mac OS X in VST and AU plug-in formats (including 64-bit versions for both). It costs €69 / $89 / £59 (incl. all taxes - if applicable).
Sigmund consists of four delay lines, each with its own independent set of parameters and complementary modules built in, independent from the feedback loop:
- Multi-mode Filter.
- Overdrive.
- Amplitude modulator.
Sigmund's four delay lines can be interconnected with each other in practically every manner possible. The plug-in offers a choice of nine different routing topologies.
The plugin can be used universally not only as a delay, but also as a:
- Tremolo.
- Filter.
- Limiter.
- Distortion.
But also indirectly, depending on parameter values, there are other possibilities, including:
- Chorus – from small delay time values.
- Flanger – from small delays with feedback added.
- Spatializer – by applying delays on delay lines with different signal domains (M/S or L/R) and phase shifts between the channels.
Feature summary:
- 4 independent delay lines, each with:
- Multimode filter.
- Overdrive unit.
- Separately configured pre and delay times with optional Tempo sync.
- Delay times down to 0.1ms.
- Selectable channel mode (L+R or M+S).
- Stereo spread.
- High quality delay line algorithm (no aliasing, no artifacts).
- Two multi-purpose LFOs:
- LFO phase retrigg option via MIDI.
- 6 waveforms.
- Tempo synchronization as an option.
- Flexible Routing (9 possible topologies).
- Convenient mixer.
- Master Limiter.
- Presets:
- Over 200 factory presets.
- Advanced, file-based preset browser.
- Miscellaneous.
- Advanced MIDI learn.
- Parameter mapping for VST / AU automation.
