AuDelay

What it does

A stereo delay whose timing comes from the golden ratio, so the repeats never settle into even divisions and there is no host sync. Base time runs from 200 milliseconds to 16 seconds. The density control introduces the second and third delay lines and then folds them back on themselves, while regen sets feedback that keeps regenerating instead of freezing. Each line has its own modulation and panning, and there is a lo-fi control and an output stage.

In the demo

Jade plays live guitar through it in AUM, works down the preset list from short slapbacks to the long looping ones, then switches to a sequenced piano and sweeps each control so every stage is audible.

Worth knowing

Nothing here syncs to tempo, so anyone wanting dotted eighths locked to a DAW should look at Rob Jackson’s other delays. This one is aimed at ambient washes and long clouds of repeats.
