Where to get itAvailable from Eventideeventideaudio.com

UltraTap is a versatile multi-tap delay-line effect capable of rhythmic delays, glitchy reverbs, comb filtering, pad-like volume swells, and unique reverbs and tremolos. It excels at creating evolving textures through its combination of tap spacing control, modulation, and tremolo/auto-volume processing, allowing everything from drum fills and vocal choruses to swelling guitar chords in a single plugin.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

011 to 64 delay taps over up to 10 seconds
02Spread control for linear/exponential tap spacing (slowing-down or speeding-up effect)
03Taper control for fade-up or fade-down across taps (linear or exponential)
04Slurm for multi-voice detuning modulation and reverb-like diffusion
05Chop section with Triangle, Sawtooth, Ramp, Square, or Sample and Hold LFO waveforms, plus Swell and Trigger auto-volume modes
06Ribbon performance control for programming and morphing between two settings across multiple knobs
07Tempo Sync with Off, Sync, and Manual modes for syncing Length, Pre-Delay, and Chop LFO speed to DAW tempo or manual tap

Things to Try

  • 01Set Spread to positive values between +51 and +100 for exponentially speeding-up delay sounds
  • 02Use negative Taper values with linear range (0 to -50) for a gentle fade-up across taps, or exponential range (-51 to -100) for a more dramatic fade-up
  • 03Set Chop to Swell mode and adjust Rise time to control how quickly the volume swells into the Tap machine
  • 04Program the Ribbon to morph between two different Spread and Taper settings for evolving delay textures

Delay is a time-based effect plugin that repeats the input signal with an adjustable decay, creating echoing and feedback textures. It offers tempo-synced timing, stereo ping-pong modulation, and automatic ducking to prevent delays from overwhelming the dry signal. The plugin is distinctive for its combination of classic delay parameters with interactive stereo effects and dynamic response controls.
