Sonimus DelaySon
DelaySon is a new free tape delay plugin for macOS and Windows. At the heart of the Sonimus DelaySon engine are three distinct sections: time, delay, and color.
The time module, the most crucial section, is the core of the delay/echo engine. It gives you intuitive control over timing, synchronization, and dry/wet mix. The delay time can be adjusted manually in milliseconds or in sync with your DAW’s tempo (e.g., 1/4, 1/8 notes).
Then, the delay module offers more advanced parameters, including feedback and L/R offset for adjusting the stereo field and creating immersive spatial effects.
The built-in drive adds tape-style saturation to the echoes, infusing harmonics, warmth, and analog-style character. The third and last is the color mode that adds dimension, character, and tonal sculpting capabilities to it.
First, you can add classic tape-style wow & flutter with the dedicated modulation knob. This adds organic movement and a vintage feel to the repeats. Second, you have a handy tone shape that shapes both high and low frequencies of the echoes.
Last but not least, it has a low-cut switch that applies a smooth 100 Hz high-pass filter to the delayed signal, removing excess low-end for a cleaner mix.
Sonimus ships DelaySon with various factory settings. If you are not happy with these, you can easily create your own and save them in the preset manager.
Sonimus DelaySon is available now as a free download. It runs as a VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin on macOS (native Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows.
