Spaceship Delay

Spaceship Delay is a delay audio effect featuring classic modern and vintage sounding delays. It can be used as a typical delay for mixing vocals, adding some depth to drums, guitars, synth sounds, but also as a more creative effect, thanks to the attack control, even as a looper thanks to the freeze switch and the very long maximum delay sizes.

Key features

  • Three delay modes : single, ping pong and dual / stereo.
  • Standard delay effects controls such as the delay time in ms and in time subdivisions, the feedback (up to 110 % !), a tap tempo button etc.
  • A modulation section acting on the delay times and the filter cutoff frequencies.
  • A dynamics control allowing the user to feed the delay line only when the input volume is higher than a given threshold (attack) or lower than a threshold for its negative values (ducking).
  • A spring reverb modeled from a famous tape machine (not that one, another one).
  • An advanced filtering section including standard lowpass and highpass filters, shelf filters, and the simulation of two famous synthesizer filters (not these ones either, other ones).
  • A specific "colour" section giving access to different kind of delay line and saturation colourations, featuring a bitcrusher and a tube preamp simulation.
  • A "Freeze" switch which can be used for some creative effect or to transform the effect into a looper with high delay values.
  • Post effects such as extra filters, a tremolo and a vintage phaser, which can be located either after the delay processing or inside the delay loop.

It can be used as a typical delay for mixing vocals, adding some depth to drums, guitars, synth sounds, but also as a more creative effect, thanks to the attack control, even as a looper thanks to the freeze switch and the very long maximum delay sizes.

Spaceship Delay includes a few presets and embedded help + tutorial features, to learn how to use properly the plug-in with live tutorials, how to do some classic delay tricks like doubling vocals, slapback rockabilly guitars, ambient sounds etc.
