Dubstation has been a fixture in dub, electronic, and pop production for nearly twenty years. It emulates the analog bucket-brigade delays of the 1970s and 80s, with their pitch-bending, warmth, and gradual high-frequency loss intact, then adds things those circuits could never do: true stereo dual-time delays, ping-pong, a stereo LFO, and a clean digital looper with overdub and reverse. Sound and Character The bucket-brigade model is the real thing: the high-cut frequency tightens as delay time gets longer, exactly like the original hardware. A low-cut filter trims the bass for the thin echoes of early Jamaican dub. A saturation stage on the feedback path adds analog-style breakup as repeats stack up, and the LFO modulates delay time for chorus, flange, and pitch swoops. Looper and Reverse The LOOP switch turns Dubstation into a clean digital looper that holds the buffer indefinitely and accepts overdubs. This is different from cranking the feedback, which degrades and distorts the signal over time. The REVERSE switch flips the delay memory backwards, and combined with the looper produces reverse loops that hold their fidelity indefinitely.

With up to four fully stereo chorus voices, BLEASS Chorus can create everything from subtle movement and gentle thickening to rich, complex modulations, while offering precise control over stereo width, prominence and intensity. In high-pass mode, the input filter is perfect for bringing out the space and airiness within a sound, before the advanced modulation engine makes that airiness shimmer and dance. Switching the filter to shelving mode opens up a whole new range of possibilities, from deliciously warm thickening effects to sparser, thinned-out lo-fi modulations. The detailed and colourful oscilloscope at the centre of the BLEASS Chorus interface shows you at a glance exactly what the plugin is doing. Thanks to the super-efficient BLEASS processing engine, this helpful visualisation won’t come at the expense of your system’s resources. More information and technical specifications available on https://www.bleass.com/chorus/ BLEASS Chorus can be launched as an AUv3 plugin or as a standalone app. BLEASS Chorus is also available for Windows and macOS.
