Delay is a stereo delay effect plugin featuring two independent delay lines with synchronized tempo control, feedback loops, and an integrated band-pass filter. It offers three transition modes (Repitch, Fade, Jump) for smooth or immediate delay time changes, LFO modulation on filter frequency and delay time, and Ping Pong routing for left-right signal bouncing. The plugin excels at creating everything from subtle chorusing to heavily modulated textural effects.
