This is a AUv3 compatible audio effect which can be used as plugin with your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Meteor, Auria or GarageBand. It supports a modern graphical interface and presets with stereo meters for monitoring signal levels. The Multi-Tap delay takes the traditional digital delay to the next level. Instead of a single delay line you have up to 4 taps at your disposal. Each tap has an adjustable delay which can either be a value in milliseconds or a division of a beat. This is because the effect tracks the host tempo and can automatically match the beat by just pressing the sync button on each tap. Some taps can be free running while others synced to the beat. What really makes this type of delay shine is that fact you can choose to either have all taps play back in series or stack them end on end in parallel mode. This allows for some very creative and unusual patterns which are not achievable using a conventional delay. A dedicated LFO synced to the host tempo can also be used to apply modulation to each of the taps. You can modulate the frequency to create a chorus/ensemble type effect, vary the amplitude to create a vibrato effect, create an oscillating pan or even run the tap in reverse echo mode or through a band pass filter. This is a great tool to have at your disposal, allowing you to some unusual delay effects not available with a conventional delay. All parameters fully support automation. This is one of a suite of AUv3 compatible plugins which will also soon be available from 4Pockets.

The unique pitch-shifting reverb in BLEASS Shimmer makes performances dance and sing in ways you never imagined possible. Harmonics are emphasised and new tonal colours emerge as luscious washes of reverb thicken and harmonise with your performance, opening up a whole new creative dimension of spatial and ambient effects. The flexible processing architecture makes BLEASS Shimmer a highly versatile plugin overflowing with creative musical possibilities. Shape the incoming sound with the multi-mode input filter, place the two pitch-shift modules at different points in the signal chain for wildly different results, and combine them with a clean, rich reverb. An integrated ducker helps the direct signal stand out from the reverb and is perfect for rhythmic and blooming effects. This vast sonic potential is easy to tame, both live and in the studio, thanks to a clear and tactile interface designed for hands-on exploration. More than 30 included presets reveal the depth of possibilities on offer while providing great starting points for your own sound designs.
