“When developing the Colour Delay, two things were vital for us: we wanted any imaginable sound to be realizable with just a few clicks. And combining the different colours should be really fun!”

Four delay styles full of character

The Colour Delay offers you four styles in the feedback loop: Tape, Bucket Brigade, Digital and Destruction. Activate these sound variants individually or combine them as you wish for completely new and extraordinary delay sounds. You can easily customize the sequence of the individual style modules using drag & drop.

Tape

This style gives you the sound and characteristics of analog tape machines. Create delay effects with warmth, saturation and the characteristic imperfections of old tape recorders.

Bucket Brigade

The Bucket Brigade Delay is based on analog circuits in which a bucket brigade and a compander shape the sound. It has a soft, dark sound in which lo-fi artifacts and dynamic noise add a typical character.

Digital

Do you want the agreeable shortcomings of the first digital delays for your production? The “Digital” style emulates aliasing and quantization distortions caused by low sampling rates and bit depths.

Destruction

The Destruction style combines tube and clip controls for a powerful, saturated sound. This gives you warm tube distortion and crunchy clipping for creative sound experiments and impressive soundscapes.

Easy handling with the interactive display

The interactive display gives you control over your delay sounds. This user-friendly interface makes it easy to create both conventional and crazy delay and echo effects.

The upper display shows the pulses over time and visualizes the modulation. Dry/wet, delay time and feedback can be adjusted directly in this diagram.

Underneath, you can adjust the fully parametric equalizer. And there is also a useful frequency analyzer.

This means you always have a perfect overview of your sound and can tweak it easily. Perfect for precise and creative sound design!

Five post-delay effects

With the impressive post-delay effects for space, modulation and dynamics, you can shape your delay sound and add additional colours. Diffusion, phaser, chorus, auto pan and ducker are placed after the feedback loop and are designed to creatively shape the effect signal.

Each effect can be used individually or in combination. Thanks to the drag & drop function, the processing sequence can be easily modified.

The algorithms are specifically designed for delay to guarantee seamless integration and the best possible sound quality.

  • Diffusion: This creates dense, spatial sound structures with subtle changes and a reverb-like quality – perfect for atmospheric sounds.
  • Phaser: Use this to add floating, modulated movement and create lively, dynamic vibes – perfect for rhythmic and harmonic parts.
  • Chorus: Creates a rich stereo sound with subtle pitch modulations – ideal for epic lead lines and lush chords.
  • Auto Pan: Adds a moving stereo image to the delay signal, where the signal roams between left and right – a fascinating listening experience, especially in headphones.
  • Ducker: Use the ducker to control the delay signal by automatically reducing it when the original signal is playing and bringing it back up when there’s room for it – for much more clarity and precision.
