Plugin Alliance has announced the Unfiltered Audio Instant Delay plug-in, offering filtering, saturation and an intuitive modulation system with step sequencer and integration with Roli’s Lightpad Block control surface.
Instant Delay will perform everyday delay duties ranging from stereo echoes on a vocal track to ambient delay tails on a synth pad. In keeping with Unfiltered Audio’s unconventional approach to conventional processing, Instant Delay also has an inter-parameter patchable modulation system that can create effects that appear beyond its simple interface.
The patchable modulation system offers several envelopes and modulators that are linked with virtual patch chords to control almost all available parameters on the user interface. Users can choose from four different types of time- or tempo-based LFOs and apply them to almost any plug-in parameter – or to other LFOs. Applying a square wave to the Mix control adds a Leslie-type effect to the source signal, but by adding a slow LFO to the first LFO makes that Leslie effect only occur intermittently. If users want to apply rhythmic patterns to the plug-in’s parameters rather than linear cycles, Instant Delay has a step sequencer that can be used instead of, or in conjunction with, the sine wave-based LFOs.
Instant Delay’s modulation system integrates with Roli’s Lightpad Block control surface, enabling different aspects of Instant Delay to be controlled using four different modes via simple patching from the Roli modulator into various parameters or even other modulators. Other features include an analogue-style multi-mode (low-pass, hi- pass, band-pass) filter with adjustable resonance; and an artifact-free delay buffer algorithm that expands or contracts the delay buffer in real time without pitch fluctuations or digital noise.
Instant Delay is available as an AAX Native, AU, VST2 and VST3 plug-in for Mac OS X (10.8 through 10.12), Windows (7 through 10), and Pro Tools 10.3.10 at US $49.
