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.

Boing Boing makes my old tube amp when I move it or when I wildly unplug my jack! Well now, you just have to move your favorite DAW to hear the evil melody of the wiggling spring. It's vintage and It's very warm. All the sounds come from impulse responses grappled on the web. They've been cleaned up and I've been working on a convolution reverb algorithm optimized with small onions (french expression to said fine tuning). Can be used as standalone app too - AUV3 support - 38 spring reverbs impulse responses selected and cleaned - 3 levels of complexity (low and mid limit the audio bandwidth) - An optimized convolution engine that can go up to 4 seconds - A tone to adjust the brightness of the reverb - A tunable impulse response size (which also plays on the complexity) and a dry / wet mix to be able to go to extreme settings If you hear audio glitches, try to lower quality or decrease the reverb length or increase the buffer length in your daw parameter.
