What it does

A free vintage-style digital delay and filter from Audio Damage, revived from a plugin first released in 2003. Two tempo-syncable delay lines with reverse and looping feed two multimode filters that morph continuously between notch, lowpass, bandpass and highpass, plus two saturators. A control matrix patches LFOs, an envelope follower and MIDI to any parameter, and an audio matrix rewires inputs, delays, saturators and feedback.

In the demo

Jade runs a piano loop through it in AUM, walks the delay, LFO and filter controls, then spends most of the time in the two routing matrices, sending LFOs to delay time and filter frequency and switching audio paths on and off. She finishes with presets on the piano and on Playbeat drums.

Worth knowing

Many presets lean into heavy saturation and self-oscillation, so it suits sound design more than a tidy mix delay. Mac support is listed on the App Store but untested in the demo.
