Incredibly beautiful and creative

What a stellar and musical delay. I put this up there with Kosmonaut on iPad. What a generous set of presets. It’s also so easy to use and create your own presets. This feels more creative than Valhalla DSP’s delay. Just incredible, truly is chefs kiss👌🏽

Have bought here and on windows, great delay

For the price this is top tier. Best delay on iOS sub 20 bucks.

One of my FAVORITE Tape Delays hands down!

I happen to see this on AppRaven (I have had this app for years) and it’s one of the BEST out there! Don’t get me wrong there are other AMAZING DEEP and VERY good sounding “Tape Delays” but this has the LOOK and FEEL one needs who grew up using 24 tape tricks to get Delays, Flange, Phase etc before all the rack mount gear and pedals and now PLUGINS!

I always ask myself, if I had ALL THIS technology back when I was first learning the trade off engineering, how freaking far advanced would I be? Bc let’s face it, bf plugins, effects were big $$$ and no young musician has money! I see all the FREE lessons, all the free guitar scale and chord programs and apps… and I think MY GOD how good would I be?
Then I realize, it would be the same as now, bc YES there is so many ways to learn for free… there is also so many KILLER games to play, killer things to check out, so many amazing content videos… that I being ADHD would not have as much knowledge as I have doing it “old school”

Extreme lag and often audio delay issues and glitches

Nearly a year ago, I wrote a review for this app and I at least tried to be fair with the devs. It seems that doesn't work in this world, because I tried to get help with this app crashing and nothing works. I use an iPhone 12 mini, and every time I go over 10-15 instruments with the effect, the project completely crashes and either doesn’t open, I have to back it up to EVEN edit the tracks constantly, or it LITERALLY deletes hours to even days of progress depending on the crash. I tried to reach out through email. Got 1 response and was ditched. This was in December of 2024. It's 10 months later, and it’s even worse than it was nearly a year ago. For a paid app, it gets little to no updates and it's really starting to show considering I can’t even use it properly 50% of the time anymore. Either this app was just made for higher-end devices like MacBooks, or it is so outdated that only newer iPhone models can even keep up with this nonsense. Mind you, I tried reaching out through email to get help and got nothing. This is simply ridiculous. The number of times this plugin has erased hours of my progress is almost insane, and just so you know, it really is a good plugin, and I’d love to keep using it, but the amount of whatever space is used that causes all these crashes to happen needs to be fixed.

No background audio standalone.

Hopefully the dev will fix this because otherwise it is a decent delay.

Thanks for the heads up. We opened issue. Best regards

This app made me realise things I didn’t consider

I used to use delay in a very straightforward manner. Then I bought this app and it had various features that I hadn’t even thought about using. I tried them one by one and realised what I was missing out on.
It’s not complex at all, but it brings new options and possibilities and we all love bringing new sounds to our music. Inexpensive and high quality.

Randomiser not working AUM

This and the other app (delay modulater) both not randomising since update—the random feature was the main reason as to why they “WERE” two of my go to apps—without they’re pretty useless to me until fixed…

Ignore all that—is fixed now!

Extreme lag and often audio delay issues and glitches

Alright, let me get this straight, this app is awesome. It makes my music sound 100x better than if it had the plugin off, but the amount of resources this takes on my phone is unholy. Constant lag and crashes keep happening. Im not sure if its my device (iphone 12) or that this app just uses too much power.

Totally worth 10 Stars! It’s Strymon Tape Delay on IOS!

I totally forgot I had this amazing delay app! Then while asking around the AudioBus forum, I was referred to try this app. I actually had it already 😆

Well, if you ever dreamed of having a Strymon Timeline delay pedal but can’t afford $400 plus cash for the Tape Delay, well, this app is totally a dream come true!

When you buy it, which is a no brainer, try the preset called Filtered Tripplets… you will see and hear what I mean. Total mesmerizing delay that can go on forever! Sort of like the Blackhole reverb of delays! Seriously 😳 this app is a total blessing to me. I am going to be playing my electric guitar thru this Delay on my pedalboard with ToneX in my iPhone! It just gives me those luscious buttery delays for Church Worship!

I dialed back the feedback and changed the preset to Dotted 8ths and created 2 amazing user presets immediately from that filtered preset.

I can recommend this delay enough! Truly is a gem waiting to be discovered! And best part, it’s backed by non other than one of the best developers on IOS!

Buy it now, seriously, you will be smiling when you play your electric guitar 🎸 through thisamazing tape delay!

I highly recommend this app!

Wow! Thank you so much for your incredible feedback. 🙏

Dub style

As a reggae and dub producer, I needed a great sounding tale style delay to run in my iPad on the usb baud sends from my Xone 96. This sounds the best by far, and I’ve tried them all ! Good work. Please keep supporting the app 🙏🏽

Nearly perfect

Can’t say enough good things about this delay, it’s everything I need and want in a tape delay effect. My only gripe is that the iPad and iPhone versions aren’t compatible. If you work on a GarageBand session in both places and use this plugin, you’ll have to reload it on every channel when you switch platforms. Otherwise, it’s flawless for me!

Hi there, thanks for your review and feedback! Yeah, Garageband is a strange one, sorry about that.

Does not work

With Logic Pro for iPad.

Hi, very sorry for any frustration/inconvenience with Logic Pro compatibility. We hope to investigate this as soon as we can.

Very helpful effects

I gave this company a rough time at first because of some disagreements but Its refreshing to see a delay engine that does more than just delay. Well done again Imaginando.

Unusable. Where are the usable delays?

Still looking for a usable preset in this garbage.

Just get it! This plugin has incredible sound quality. Fully featured tape delay for iOS. The interface is beautiful also. Cannot go wrong with this company.

K7D delay review

Awesome app. I have already used this to create some trippy soundtracks for my own STRANGER THINGS soundtrack.
I highly recommend this app if you want to be creative.

Thanks Muff! Enjoy getting creative with K7D!

2 Years Later

Bought this on release and it sounds really nice, but even a single instance is quite taxing on the CPU and that can lead to audio glitches or crashes. Especially worrisome in a live performance. So it doesn’t get used often and ends up getting replaced in most of my projects unfortunately. I’m guessing from the size it’s using IRs, but I hope it can be optimized a bit!
