Dahlia Tape Delay vs Fishtail

Dahlia Tape Delay is an AUv3 effect built as a love letter to a bygone era. WOW & FLUTTER Noisy oscillators drive pitch modulation to give the same organic variation from tape aging. TAPE HEAD EQ A filter models the frequency response of the playback head of an analog tape delay, adding warmth and high-end roll-off in the feedback path. FEEDBACK Tape compression at the end of the signal path lets you push feedback to its limits without fear of runaway. STEREO / SPLIT Independent left/right delay times, ping-pong mode, stereo width, and spread controls using a mid/side splitter. FEATURES • Four delay time modes with host sync. • Independent left/right delay times. • Ping-pong stereo with adjustable width. • Tape wow + flutter modulation. • Feedback path with tape EQ and head response filtering. • Drift-compensating delay lines for stable long delays. • 12 factory presets. • Support for custom presets DAHLIA DELAY CLASSIC: The app includes a whole second AUv3 at no extra cost. Dahlia Delay Classic is a reincarnation of the original 2015 Dahlia Delay - it's a stereo delay with a resonant filter in the feedback path and a subtle pitch modulating warble. This new rendition has a more performant audio engine, host sync capabilities, improved presets and a more modern UI. Faithful to the original character, but with a new look and feel. COMPATIBILITY Runs standalone and as an AUv3 audio unit. Compatible with GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, and any host that supports AUv3 effects on iOS 17 or later. — Timothy J. Barraclough / Horse Parade

Fishtail is a generative MIDI instrument for iPhone and iPad. It composes complete musical forms, then lets you shape, perform, retain and rearrange them! Explore six composers, including Lumière’s evolving modal colour and Ritual Engine’s rhythmic energy. Roll D7 for a shaped recipe, then Generate and edit it. Fishtail does not use AI to generate music. Its musical output is created through algorhythmic generation grounded in musical theory. Build pieces from sections with independent keys, modes, meters, cadences and expressive treatments. Generate distinct Takes, compare them, reorder them and hand the next Take over at a natural whole-piece boundary. Fishtail produces MIDI rather than sound. Use it standalone or as an AUv3 MIDI plug-in, and route its seven musical channels to the instruments you choose. Ableton Link supports shared tempo and transport. Features: • Complete multi-section generative compositions • Seven-channel MIDI output • Retain, reorder and perform Takes • Seven intonation systems • Normal MIDI, pitch-bend and MPE output • MTS output • Ableton Link • .fishtail project save and recall • Standard MIDI and per-channel export • Experimental analogue CV file packages • Accessible light and dark interfaces No account, advertising, analytics or tracking.
