That's the topic of this video.

I expected some cheapo vibe coded delay but boy was I wrong.

She has some VERY cool design ideas in this.
Is there any other delay that has these features?

I think the spectral ducking is the best idea in it. The other stuff I have in various delays, but that's a great idea.

Sirial can do the fade and stereo pan stuff, although you have to draw the level of each tap individually.

gee that looks great, she has really thought through the design. Sadly is a bit expensive for me as I have many delays already. But if I only had say 6 delays, or it was feasible to sell plugins secondhand I would get this - it really looks excellent. I might still weaken.

no feedback for any of the delays?

Just watching the video now and one of the the first things she says is she replaced feedback with “tails”. So you draw the shape of the delay and looks like you can mute different parts of the tails. Interesting.

thanks, I missed that - perhaps it is not easy to drive into self- oscillation then

Would have to try the demo I guess. But after watching the video it looks like it’s not made for that kind of thing? But perhaps just ramping the tail up at the end will do that? No idea though. The demo is the only way to answer those questions I think. Unless someone else makes a video and addresses that.

I tried the demo - I was hoping someone had noticed something I had missed

Other than that is a very good delay

€69 appears to be the intro price!

Where can I find the demo? I'm taken to their main page but I only see 2 other plugs available.

Thanks mate!

This actually looks quite interesting. Looking forward to trying it out. The only thing I wished it had (because it seems like no delay plugin seems to have this) is the ability to change the pitch (pitch up/down) of each individual tap. Are there even any delays that have this function? If not, why hasn’t this been done? If there is a plugin like this, anyone care to name drop it?

I got bored of standard Delays. So I built Manta.
