Solid State Logic has announced the X-Delay plug-in, inspired by legendary and iconic hardware delay units from the ’80s, and available in several formats including VST2, VST3, AAX and AU.
SSL X-Delay, the latest in SSL's creatively focused plug-in offering, complementing the recently announced SSL X-Echo and is fully controllable from an easy-to-use user interface. Aimed at producers and music creators, it allows combinations of sounds achievable from up to four independently sync-able taps: from saturated slapback vocal delays, to vast stereo soundscapes appropriate for synth pads.
The SSL X-Delay is augmented by global FX such as built-in modulation, SSL’s signature analogue saturation, and a reverb offering multiple diffusion effects and rooms from a single control.
The X-Delay is the latest addition to SSL’s Plug-In bundle, which is available through subscription to itsthe company’s new eStore. Combined with its sibling X-Echo, the SSL X-Delay ‘helps users cover the spectrum between vintage tape and vintage digital delay sounds’. By tweaking its modulation, saturation, diffusion and de-essing settings, X-Delay is capable of moving between stark, crisp delays and darker, dirtier soundscapes and – of course – the huge delay sounds associated with productions of the 1980s.
Key features:
- Four delay taps with level, ping-pong and panning.
- SSL-style saturation, modulation, reverb and de-essing.
- Drive feedback beyond 100%, and use freeze and kill to build risers and drops.
- High- and low-pass filters, mid/side width and mix controls.
