Beat Delay

PreSonus

Where to get itIncluded with Studio One. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.presonus.com

Beat Delay by PreSonus is a tempo-synced delay plugin with optional cross-delay and filtered feedback, designed for adding rhythmic feel to parts or creating spatial doubling effects. It offers extensive beat-based delay timing, stereo ping-pong modes, and independent low and high-frequency filtering of the delayed signal. The cross-delay and pan controls enable mono or stereo routing configurations for creative rhythmic effects.
