Any chance for simple Valhalla delay ala Echoboy? Ubermod is overkill for this...

For people who want a “tape delay” sound right now, here’s an ÜberMod preset from Sean. To save people a click:
<ValhallaUberMod pluginVersion="1.0.2dot9" presetName="WarpedTapeVerb" Mix="1" Depth="0.041999999433755874634" StereoWidth="0.5" Delay="0.050599999725818634033" Feedback="0.64800000190734863281" Spread="0.5" Slope="0.5" Skew="0.5" Random="0" TapGain="0.5" Diffusion="0.43200001120567321777" DiffSize="0.42040815949440002441" DiffModRate="0.39239239692687988281" DiffModDepth="0.14399999380111694336" LowCut="0.1407035142183303833" HighCut="0.20753769576549530029" SpatialXover="0.14572864770889282227" DetuneRate="0.049049049615859985352" DetuneDepth="0" VibratoRate="0.93433582782745361328" VibratoDepth="0.075999997556209564209" OverMod="0" DriveInGain="0.44583332538604736328" DriveOutGain="0.75" DriveNoiseGain="0.4822222292423248291" FeedbackRotate="1" SmoothingTime="0.54134136438369750977" ColorMode="1" DelaySync="0" type="0.041666667908430099487" DiffEnable="1" Drive="1" DrivePrePost="0" Speed="1" InputPan="0"/>

Warped tape reverb. A few usage tips:

- Turn down the FEEDBACK slider a bit for shorter decays
- Turn up the DEPTH slider slightly to get some pinch roller flutter in there
- The DIFF->Diffusion control can be turned up to get a smoother reverb. I was going for something a bit more grainy and tape echoish.

Because of the low CPU usage it isn't really overkill in my opinion, just flexible.

Ubermod is great for delays, it just doesn't say 'delay' in the product title...

A few thoughts:

- EchoBoy isn't really "simple." It just looks simple in the default view. Open up the Tweak menu, and there's a lot of stuff in there.

- A Valhalla delay plugin would have to capture the dynamic behavior of older delay devices, versus simply the static sound. Things have to ramp up and down at the right speed. The tone changes with the delay time. The wow and flutter rate and depth may or may not vary according to the delay. That sort of thing.

- Self-oscillation is critical. Part of the fun of a Deluxe Memory Man, or Boss DM-2, or Space Echo, is using it as a sound generator.

- The saturation of older delays is considerably different than what I have going on in ÜberMod or FreqEcho. In both BBD units (such as the Memory Man) and tape delays, playing a really loud sound into a self-oscillating delay will "squeeze out" the signal that was previously recirculating inside the delay.

- I would have to have a lot of physical delay devices that I could work with, in order to properly model things. Oh, wait:

Ok, great, there you go...so Valhalla Delay will see the light of the day!!! Good news...hopefully I didnt misread your post haha. :p If anyone can do it right, its you...

Well that's a wink wink.

Already competition though: http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/d16 ... ion-642891

How is that likely to affect things?

There's always competition for this sort of stuff. Lord knows there are a lot of reverb plugins out there as well. :D

Someday. Not sure when, or where it stands in the release schedule. These things always take much longer than I think they would, with the exception of SpaceModulator, which came together really quickly.

Great news, hopefully we can play with it within a year!

Any chance a delay like the one you're describing could also include a simple spring reverb for some Space Echo-like goodness? I know you've said in the past that impulses do a good job if mimicking springs, but there's something awesome about a simple spring reverb when combined with tape delay. Having it all in one plugin would be killer.

There is one in the Re-301 that you can see in the picture above :tu:

My question would be whether he'll go as fas as "sound on sound" :D

god i hope the EP-3 or 4 is in there somewhere!
having a well coded RE-201 or 301 vst is gonna be SO FLIPPING COOL!!!!!!!!

Post

Excellent news.. Happy to see the book and the RE-301 there. Looking very much forward to a great new Dub delay ay ay ay :D
No band limits, aliasing is the noise of freedom!
