Aside from Purmagnetik's Sage, are there other effects that have deep spectral capabilities like NI Spektral Delay? There may by synths that are capable of similar results but I can't think of any off hand.
Thank you!

I was thinking the same!
Melda have one, I also found this one, not quite the same thing though

An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

I never owned Spektral Delay, so I'm not sure how similar/different this is, but Artificial Audio Obelisk is my fav spectral delay (and filter/gate).

I use Tonsturm SPCTRL EQ through a separate delay - my favourite being Blue Cat Late Replies

Another vote for the Melda one. It can do magical things.

It probably won't work. I have the old Kore multi effects thing. If you install it will want to know where the Service Center is.

I have tried almost all of them but none can really come close, probably the old iZotope Spectron came the closest but they abandoned that too.

Magic Delay by GS DSP is a great-sounding option. Their Magic Blur isn’t necessarily a traditional spectral delay, but it’s worth looking into if you enjoy quality spectral effects in general.
If you have Reaktor, there are free ensembles in the Reaktor User Library on the Native Instruments website. I can always find some gems in there when I take the time.
I picked up Spectron by Curbi through W.A. Production for less than $20 during their introduction sale. I didn’t have super high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by this plug-in and I think it’s worth mentioning.
Melda Production’s MSpectralDelay is another effect that’s been around for a while. Spectralsand is a bit of a newcomer and I plan on trying it out when I have some time. SpecOps by Unfiltered Audio is a slick plug-in for really interesting textures.
It takes some time to get to know how everything works, but it’s so very worth the time and investment. I feel that way about most of UA’s VST’s. Actually, I’d love for them to update it or release a version 2, because it has a lot of potential, but could use some refining.
