BLEASS Tides washes away the dry, uninspiring echoes of conventional delay processors with wave after wave of richly characterful reflections. The plugin's fluid approach to delay processing means delay times can be altered without the unpleasant warping results produced by other delay processors, with the option of a controlled tape-like timing shift, or a simple crossfade between differently timed delays. Better still, with an enhanced modulation system provided by BLEASS' latest plugin technology, you can take full advantage of this delay time fluidity with stereo LFOs, envelope followers and macro controllers that allow you to explore new horizons of exciting delay effects. There's more to creating unique and enthralling delay lines than timing alone, and so BLEASS Tides provides many different ways of shaping and adding character to its repeats. An input filter combining low- and high-pass resonant bands allows you to easily mould the incoming signal and thereby sculpt the resulting echoes. Then, for even deeper and more exhilarating shaping, Tides' feedback path features five insert points into which any of 11 different effect processors can be loaded. These include distortions, filters, pitch and frequency shifting, ring modulation, and even an additional delay processor, all of which can be brought to life with the plugin's stereo modulators. Tides is the first plugin to use BLEASS' v2 plugin engine, its reimagined interface design giving a crisp and clean look to the plugin whilst retaining the familiar and welcoming look and feel of previous BLEASS plugins. The new interface is as easy to use with touchscreens as it is with a mouse, and includes innovative interactive elements such as Tides' delay visualiser that, when clicked with the mouse or touched with a finger, produces fascinating interactive frequency shifting effects. Further realtime interaction comes in the form of momentary Freeze and Kill buttons that are perfect for creating spontaneous, organic effects, whether on stage, on the go, or in the studio. BLEASS Tides' unique approach brings delay processing to new shores with never before heard stereo effects and modulations, extensive tonal shaping, and a user interface that's both easy on the eye and easy to use.
