Delay Designer

Apple

Delay Designer is a multitap delay plugin that provides up to 26 individual taps with independent control over level, pan, pitch, and filtering. Unlike traditional delay units with one or two taps, Delay Designer offers significant sound design potential, enabling everything from basic echo effects to complex audio pattern sequencing with evolving, moving rhythms.

Key Features

01Up to 26 individual delay taps
02Independent level, pan, pitch, and filter control per tap
03Highpass and lowpass filters with adjustable cutoff and resonance
04Sync mode with grid quantization and swing control
05Feedback tap for self-sustaining rhythmic patterns
06Surround-optimized panning for spatial effects
07Tap display with visual editing for Level, Pan, Cutoff, Resonance, and Transpose parameters

Things to Try

  • 01Enable Sync mode and set Grid to 1/16 notes, then use Swing between 45-55% to create a less rigid rhythmic feel with subtle grid variations
  • 02Use the feedback tap feature to send one tap's output back into the input at full volume (100% Feedback Level) for self-sustaining rhythmic patterns
  • 03Apply bandpass filtering by setting highpass cutoff frequency lower than lowpass cutoff to isolate a specific frequency band on individual taps
  • 04Double tap delay times using the shortcut menu command '2 x delay time' to slow down rhythmic delay patterns to half speed
