DIG

DIG is a versatile plugin that captures the essence of '80s digital delays, featuring two integrated delays with distinct voicings: ADM, 12-bit, and 24/96.

It allows you to create intricate echo patterns or use delays independently, with flexible routing options like Series, Ping Pong, and Parallel.

With intuitive controls for tone, modulation, and delay times, DIG blends vintage character with modern versatility, making it a powerful tool for any musician or producer.

Rack-mount digital delays of the 80s ushered in a new era of audio effects, where the innovative electronic designs generated clean delays that sounded altogether fresh and new, but with special and intriguing sonic characteristics.

Decades later, these sounds remain as distinctive and inspiring as ever.

Delay Doppelgänger

The DIG plugin unearths the true soul of digital delay and doubles it — two simultaneous, integrated delays with captivating rack delay voicings from the 1980s and today.

Instantly create intricate synchronized echo patterns, as well as hypnotic and atmospheric repeats that blur the line between delay and reverb.

Each of DIG's three digital delay voicings has its own distinctively inspiring personality: the early 80s adaptive delta modulation mode, the mid-80s 12-bit pulse code modulation mode, and the modern high-resolution 24/96 mode.

Voices Of Digital

Don't all digital delays sound the same? What gives a digital delay its own unique personality?

Digital conversion technologies in the late 70s were advancing rapidly, and clever electronics designers were on a quest to squeeze out the best possible performance specs with fidelity not previously available from tape or analog circuits. Their imaginative solutions to the limitations of the conversion process resulted in delays that possessed some unintended and unique characteristics. DIG beautifully reveals their individual personalities.

ADM

A one bit, high sample rate conversion technique that evolved from telecommunications voice coding. The conversion and supporting signal conditioning, limiting, and pre-emphasis/deemphasis create a percussive wide-band delay that adds more character as input dynamics increase.

12-Bit

A 12-bit, 32kHz PCM conversion made possible by monolithic IC chips developed in the late '70s. Pre-emphasis/de-emphasis and companding combine with the converters to produce a warm delay with a dimensional sense.

24/96

A clean, high-resolution, high-bandwidth delay with a hint of dynamics that allow the delay to sit nicely with the analog dry signal. 24-bit resolution and a 96kHz sampling rate ensure uncolored, artifact-free repeats.

Features:

• Two simultaneous, integrated delays, with unique digital rack delay voicings.
• Each of the integrated delays provides true stereo for a total of four interactive delay lines.
• Adjustable Modulation, Tone, and Dry Level for control over repeats.
• Adjustable Time, Level and Repeats for each Delay engine.
• One modern and two classic digital delay voicings: 24/96, ADM (Adaptive Delta Modulation), and 12 bit.
• Up to twelve Delay 1 subdivisions: Whole, Dotted Half, Half, Dotted Quarter, Quarter (the default), Dotted Eighth, Eighth Triplet, Eighth, Sixteenth Triplet, Sixteenth, Thirty-second Triplet, and Thirty-second note.
• Delay 1 Tempo Modes for project tempo Sync or TAP modes with subdivision options or Free mode.
• Delay 2 can be locked to Delay 1's Time/Tempo with its own optional subdivisions: Dotted Quarter, Dotted Eighth, Golden Ratio, Eighth, and Eighth Triplet.
• Repeats Lock switch to provide independent or locked number of repeats for Delay 1 & 2.
• Selectable Free Mode for Delay 1 and Delay 2 disables subdivisions and synchronization.
• Press and hold Circular Repeats effect.
• Delay 1 offers a 20ms – 1.6s delay range. Delay 2 offers 7ms to 2.4s delay range (Ranges may differ depending on Sync or TAP tempo and subdivision selections).
