Features update e for the versatile digital delay
We’ve just released an exciting update for our highly versatile delay plugin, HoRNet DeeLay Plus, which has quickly become a favorite among music producers, sound designers, and engineers. The latest version introduces new features that make this plugin even more powerful and flexible, opening up new creative possibilities for shaping delay effects in your mixes. Let’s dive into the key features and improvements that come with DeeLay Plus version 1.3.0.
HoRNet DeeLay Plus is a delay plugin that gives you the flexibility and depth needed to create intricate and dynamic delay effects. With two distinct delay units — one for the left channel and one for the right channel — you can independently route each channel for a stereo delay effect. The true magic happens when you utilize the cross-feedback feature, which allows the feedback from one unit to affect the other channel, providing more creative possibilities. This flexibility can help you create lush, evolving soundscapes, or more subtle effects, all while maintaining tight control over your sound.
One of the highlights of DeeLay Plus is its ability to give you deep control over every aspect of the delay effect. From feedback time to delay time, feedback paths, and modulation controls, this plugin offers a wide range of options to sculpt your delay to perfection. Whether you’re looking for a simple slapback delay, or you want to design more experimental, evolving effects, DeeLay Plus is a tool you can rely on for every situation.
One of the most unique aspects of DeeLay Plus is its dual delay architecture. It features two separate delay lines for the left and right channels, and you have the option to route them independently. The ability to route the feedback from one delay unit into the other unlocks new possibilities for creating more complex and interactive delays. For example, you can create stereo-delay effects that have different rhythmic or tonal characteristics for each channel, or you can create a seamless, evolving delay effect that crosses over between both channels for an immersive sound experience.
HoRNet DeeLay Plus lets you synchronize the delay time to your host’s tempo, which makes it an ideal choice for creating rhythmic delay effects that stay in time with your track. With tempo sync activated, the plugin will automatically match the delay time to the selected note values, such as quarter notes, eighth notes, or triplets, depending on the rhythm you’re looking for. This makes DeeLay Plus perfect for creating complex rhythmic delays or for adding subtle movement to your sound design.
However, you also have full control over the delay time, whether you’re working with sync’d delays or free-running delays. You can dial in precise delay times using the intuitive interface, which is especially useful when you need to fine-tune the effect for a more customized result.
Adding modulation to delay effects can significantly enhance their character. HoRNet DeeLay Plus provides an extensive set of modulation features that allow you to manipulate the sound in real-time. The feedback path of each delay unit can be shaped using both a 6dB/oct low-pass filter and a 6dB/oct high-pass filter, allowing you to create more dynamic delays by shaping the tone of the feedback. This feature is particularly useful for carving out space in the mix, making the delay effects more prominent or more subtle, depending on your needs.
The built-in distortion unit provides another way to modulate the delay, offering a range of options from subtle warmth to full-on sonic destruction. The distortion unit can be used to add grit and character to the delay effect, giving it an organic, analog feel. Whether you’re looking for a clean, pristine delay or something more aggressive, DeeLay Plus lets you control the intensity of the effect with precision.
Another standout feature of HoRNet DeeLay Plus is its continuous loop mode. When the feedback is set to 100%, the delay output continues indefinitely, even if the input stops. This creates an evolving soundscape or an endless loop effect that can be used creatively in many different contexts. This mode can be especially useful for creating drones, rhythmic textures, or complex layered delays that continue to evolve even after the original input sound has ended.
In version 1.3.0, DeeLay Plus continues to feature a built-in Analog to Digital converter (ADC) emulation, which is designed to mimic different bit depths. You can dial in anything from 24-bit pristine clarity to a more gritty, lo-fi 8-bit sound. This feature is perfect for recreating the retro sound of 80s hardware, adding vintage character to your delays, and offering more flexibility for sound design.
For those who want to keep a close eye on their signal, HoRNet DeeLay Plus features a built-in waveform display at the top of the interface. This display shows both the input and output levels in real time, ensuring that you have complete visual feedback on how your delay is affecting your signal. This is especially useful when fine-tuning delay times, feedback, or modulation settings, as it lets you see the exact impact of each adjustment.
In HoRNet DeeLay Plus version 1.3.0, we’ve focused on improving the plugin’s compatibility and performance for different environments, as well as adding some important new features:
Apple Silicon Compatibility: DeeLay Plus now fully supports Apple Silicon, ensuring it runs smoothly on the latest Macs with M1 and M2 processors.
Discontinued 32-Bit Support: To streamline the plugin’s development and focus on modern technology, we’ve discontinued support for 32-bit systems. The plugin is now optimized for 64-bit systems, offering better performance and stability.
Additionally, a few bug fixes have been implemented to ensure a smoother user experience:
Fixed VST3 issues with Ableton Live.
Fixed de-sync problem between sequencers, which improves the overall sync behavior when using multiple instances of the plugin.
These updates ensure that DeeLay Plus remains a reliable tool for creative sound design and mixing applications.
With its dual delay units, modulation capabilities, analog emulation, and real-time visual monitoring, HoRNet DeeLay Plus remains a powerful, flexible plugin for anyone looking to add depth, complexity, and character to their mixes. Whether you’re producing electronic music, creating sound effects, or simply adding subtle delay textures, DeeLay Plus offers a wealth of options that will help you bring your creative ideas to life.
The update is free for all current owners of HoRNet DeeLay Plus, and it can be downloaded via the HoRNet DoIn downloader or from your user area. If you haven’t yet tried this versatile plugin, now is the perfect time to explore its wide range of capabilities and elevate your delay game.
Thank you for your continued support of HoRNet Plugins. We’re excited to see what you create with DeeLay Plus!
