BLEASS Delay is the ideal tool for adding depth, movement and interest to your mixes. Whatever style of music you produce and whatever instruments you work with, its versatility and ease of use help you achieve perfect results with the minimum of fuss. Echoes are just the starting point. The integrated frequency shifter and dual filter give you deep control over the character and sound of every repeat, so you can achieve with a single plugin sound effects that would otherwise require a complete plugin stack and complex routing. BLEASS Delay also includes three LFOs, one each for the delay engine, the frequency shifter and the filters. As well as classic modulation effects such as chorus and flanging, these dedicated LFOs are ideal for creating exciting sound effects and epic, constantly-shifting soundscapes. FEATURES • Delay time synced to your host tempo (note values, including triplets) or set freely in milliseconds • Ping Pong mode with adjustable stereo width • Frequency shifter applied cumulatively to each repeat • Low pass and high pass filters: drag on the graph to set cutoff and resonance • Three LFOs, each with depth, rate and stereo phase offset up to ±180° • Feedback from a single echo to infinite repeats • Dry/Wet control • Preset manager with factory and user presets, plus a preset generator • Clear single-screen interface on iPad and iPhone WORKS WHERE YOU MAKE MUSIC BLEASS Delay is an AUv3 plugin. Load it in GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Drambo, Koala Sampler, Loopy Pro or any other AUv3-compatible host. Your saved presets are available in all your hosts. A standalone app is also included. BLEASS Delay is also available for macOS, Linux and Windows (VST3 / AU / AAX). More information at www.bleass.com/delay
