SGA Phoenix LT, is a free, compact, version of our acclaimed SGA Phoenix. SGA Phoenix LT brings the authentic sound of an all-tube (12AU7) analog preamp to your AUv3 compatible host. Use SGA Phoenix LT to add warmth to a track, as a saturation compressor, or to add “dirt” with tube overdrive and distortion. Key Features: - Authentic analog sound through real-time high-performance circuit simulation. SGA Phoenix LT simulates the whole preamp circuit in real time using Shattered Glass Audio’s state-of-the-art circuit simulator. - Preamp featuring 12AU7 triodes delivers gentle overdrive and smooth distortion. For heavier saturation, simply stack instances—your CPU can handle it. - Three-band Baxandall style EQ that can be taken out of the signal path or placed either before or after the preamp. - Automatic Gain Control - Automatic 4x oversampling to control aliasing - Parallel processing. For a much wider variety of saturation flavors and additional EQs, upgrade to SGA Phoenix. SGA Phoenix LT is primarily an AUv3 effect. To use SGA Phoenix LT as a plug-in, you will need an AUv3 compatible host such as Garageband, AUM, etc. SGA Phoenix LT application is there to provide a user manual and a chance to use SGA Phoenix LT with the microphone input.

A vintage-inspired delay supercharged with deep modulation, flexible filtering, and creative timing that pushes echoes into new dimensions. This is the free Lite version of Quantum Delay. Enjoy it? Go pro with the full version. Classic Delay, Reinvented Quantum Delay Lite takes the charm of a vintage stereo delay and fuses it with our next-level modulation system. Switch between the warm character of Tape mode and the pristine clarity of Fade mode, lock to BPM (including 5-tuplets) or dial in precise times in milliseconds. Use the Fine control for subtle push-and-pull micro-timing — or modulate your delay lines in ways traditional delays could only dream of. Sculpted Echoes Shape your repeats with a lowpass filter placed directly in the feedback path. Add modulation to create evolving tones, gentle movement, or drifting, frequency-shifting echoes. From warm analog-style rolls to shimmering, swirling textures, it’s all there. Feedback with Precision Control your delay tail behavior using either traditional % feedback or our modern dB-per-second decay system — ideal for predictable, musical decay even when the feedback path becomes complex. Enable Crossfeed for classic ping-pong stereo bounce, or push into Over-Feedback to create dense, self-building echoes that drift toward infinity. Modulation Without Limits Quantum Delay Lite integrates our advanced modulation system, letting you modulate nearly anything: delay time, filters, feedback parameters, and more. Use LFOs, Random Generators, 2D modulators, Envelope Followers, Macros, and even chaotic systems to push your echoes far beyond traditional delay behavior. Or use our parameter randomisation feature to explore the plugin’s sound at random. Quantum Delay Lite is an AUv3 audio effect plugin compatible with Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand and many more. A Desktop version is also available for Windows and macOS (VST3 / AU / AAX).
