Valhalla Delay released

[BRoySound]

Just Released!!

120 Presets for Valhalla Delay

Check out the VIDEO

That thing really loves piano. People always associate delay with vocals and guitar, but you could record entire albums of you just playing piano with Valhalla Delay.

Absolutely, I Agree.....Valhalla Delay is Extremely Smooth on the Pianos,

Instantly adds Wideness, Depth and add to that the Sweet Atmo and Enhancements it gives is a combo rare to see from a Delay Plug in.

So thinking about putting it as $10 Intro Price, but later may bump it up to just $12 max if I decide to do few more Presets taking advantage of any future changes or additions to Valhalla Delay,
and that extra addition Presets will ofc be mailed Free to everyone that has bought already.

Sounds fair to me

Thanks Steve, great set!

Every single plugin that is released crashes Cubase . I have said this before and say it again, why would users cling to a horrific track record program?

Maybe its not Cubase but something else.
I use Cubase, not experiencing that problem at all.

Apologies for devolving further OT, but as a relatively new Cubase user, I think it's entirely possible the issue relates more to VST3 plugins. I used to just ignore the VST3 option when installing plugins entirely, but because of Cubase's sidechaining restrictions, I've taken to installing VST3 plugins (for effects, still stick to VST2 on instruments). In my experience, some VST3 plugins can be buggy, or at least, buggy in Cubase. That's when I'll switch back to VST2. ValhallaDelay has needed a few VST3 updates already (haven't used 1.06 yet), Byome's been ironing out VST3 bugs, MIDI Learn was just introduced into the spec so things like the U-he instruments don't even have MIDI Learn on VST3. VST2 was around for decades and I think the bugs have just been ironed out and incorporated into the various frameworks, whereas VST3 is a living, breathing thing that's still relatively new.

MIDI Learn was just introduced into the spec so things like the U-he instruments don't even have MIDI Learn on VST3.

The u-he VST3's have MIDI learn... it's just that they use a workaround/their own system to provide MIDI learn, and the new VST3 MIDI learn feature hasn't been implemented yet.

I also don't see differences in terms of functionality/stability in the VST3's i use. I use exclusively VST3, when the plugins provide it, as more and more plugins do. It's a myth that they're less stable, or more error prone. Unless the developers provide buggy plugins, of course.

The u-he VST3's have MIDI learn... it's just that they use a workaround/their own system to provide MIDI learn, and the new VST3 MIDI learn feature hasn't been implemented yet.

Now we're way OT, but I'm pretty sure that's not entirely accurate. Some other developers used workarounds to make MIDI Learn in VST3. My understanding is that right now, you can't MIDI Learn in the VST3 U-he instruments at all. You see posts on the U-he forum regularly with titles like "Can't MIDI Learn" then you find out they're using VST3. The workaround is to use VST2 if you need MIDI Learn to work, or MIDI Learn in VST2 to create the mapping, then use VST3. But you're right in that the VST3 MIDI Learn is new and hasn't been implemented yet.

It's not a myth, we just may have different experiences and may own different plugins. The JUCE framework that a lot of developers use has been buggy with VST3 (you can read the release notes or ask developers) and been updated a few times to address that. So developers using JUCE to produce VST3 for a while had some growing pains. Some developers on JUCE (thinking Cytomic for one) avoided VST3 all together for these reasons. Now, it may be your anecdotal experience that it hasn't been the case, but it's been my anecdotal experience that it is. Since this is a Valhalla thread, just look at the ValhallaDelay release notes for a good example - the VST3 wasn't recalling presets correctly in Cubase. VST2 worked fine. Slate's VMR was super buggy in VST3 for a while. Byome has some VST3 issues whereas VST2 is more stable.

I see that now. I thought it would work, but, obviously, they need to implement it now that VST3 fully supports MIDI learn.

Anyway. Most other plugins work fine for me in the VST3 version. What i meant with "myth" is that it seems like people generally think that VST3 is buggy, while, obviously, it's mostly the plugins and developers themselves who deliver buggy VST3 versions.

I guess it's splitting hairs further, but I don't think people really care why the VST3 versions tend to buggier on the whole, just that they are. I get your point though. It's totally possible to make well-functioning VST3 plugins without bugs - nothing in format prevents that.

Agreed, though you probably didn't mean it like this This track I made starts with a piano (Pianoteq), with only a single Valhalla Delay at 100% wet and some tremolo as effects.

I've been able to recreate a few of my favorite EchoBoy presets with it and am gradually replacing instances of EchoBoy in my tracks.

Why?

Not a complicated answer, I just prefer it's layout and functionality to EchoBoy.

[zosterops]

Its not overloaded with every little scientific engineering feature (there's other delays for that) so that plus the GUI/workflow makes for easy preset creation/editing/morphing on top of having some different sonic character with the different modes (there's plenty of plain sounding easy to use digital and often free delays that do this, so use those if that's what you want). Why you complaining that this one doesn't sound like an ordinary copacetic delay?

Would love to see parameter lock for all parameters though. This would speed up creation and variation of presets.

Yesssss. I second a parameter lock for all parameters.

Has somebody tested the modified ping pong mode, is it now comparable (sounds closer) to other delays?

I'm still not sure. I keep going back and forth.
