ReaDelay is a multi-tap delay plugin from Cockos that enables creative delay effects with no practical limit on tap count, each configurable independently with up to 10 seconds of delay time. It combines straightforward functionality with powerful creative potential, ranging from subtle fattening of vocal tracks to complex ping-pong and echo effects, with per-tap control over feedback, filtering, resolution, stereo width, and pan.
