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

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?

Thanks for this! I’ll look into these!

Same here. It's cool but a bit redundant as I have UVI's Relayer and Minimal Audio's Cluster Delay. If it had pitched delay I would be interested. I still use the free 32 bit Pitched Delay by lkjb Plugins.

Tried it but uninstalled already. The fonts are dark and fuzzy and far too small, the parameter graphics are laggy, and I didn't enjoy the feel of using it. Plus it didn't really sound all that good IMO, especially for an intro price that's 30 bucks more than Valhalla Delay.

Yeah, I have similar thoughts without having demoed it yet. I think the concept is cool from what I saw it do in the video.
Valhalla Delay is my goto delay and a benchmark for a lot of things.
Different concept of worflow here.
Price seems high but I think I will demo as I am very curious about it.

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks interesting.

I did get her analyzer a while back. It's a really great tool! Very handy to have all the analyzing jobs i normally use 3 plugins for, in one. She's also very responsive to feedback and fast to fix bugs or add QOL things.

I probably don’t need too much control in my delay. Sooner or later maybe they’ll put an actual delay in shaperbox, prob solved.

I thought she did a good job on the video, that’s all. Anyone tried it, I downloaded but haven’t installed yet. Prob won’t be picking it up, but I will demo.

Very interesting looking delay.

May look into this one.

it's a good delay - great interface and very well thought through.

This is such a cool idea. Love the UI 😍

I have heard back from the dev and there is a feedback of sorts - is a toggle for Cascade. Playing with this more and using the fx etc I am very impressed - this is a great delay with many many possible sounds. Still a bit expensive for me as I have plenty of delays as is,. but if you dont have more than enough Manta is worth a good look. Very impressed

I love her vids, watch them all the time. She's the real deal.

very intelligent versatile and flexible delay,...bought it after a few hours !
