Delay

Other Desert Cities

Audio Damage

Other Desert Cities is a multi-mode delay plugin featuring six different delay algorithms with a built-in diffusion processor and flexible modulation system. Rather than emulating vintage hardware, it explores contemporary delay effects across a range of creative processing modes—from straightforward stereo delay to granular and variable-speed iterations. The diffusion processor adds shimmer and blur to the delayed signal, while LFOs and an envelope follower enable dynamic, evolving effects.

Key Features

01Six delay algorithms: Desert Shores, Mecca, Cactus, Thermal, Mirage, Sky Valley
02Thermal multi-tap mode with up to 16 equally spaced taps per delay
03Granular delay with pitch shifting and grain randomization
04Variable-speed looper modes (Cactus, Mirage) with musical interval quantization
05Diffusion processor with modulated delay-based filters
06Two LFOs with sync to host tempo, Shape and Skew controls
07Envelope Follower for amplitude-responsive modulation
08Crossfeed control for inter-delay signal routing

Things to Try

  • 01Engage Sync switches on Time 1 and 2 knobs to lock delays to DAW tempo for rhythmic synchronization
  • 02Adjust Smoothing knob on Mecca mode to reduce clicks in reversed audio while preserving transients
  • 03Use the Window knob in Mirage mode to control the overlap of playback head signals and overall output level
  • 04Combine high Size and Diffusion settings in the diffuser to create reverb-like shimmer effects
