"Filter Delay" is the one that probably gets closest to what I'm asking about here, but it never really gets close. Attach a MIDI switch to that and it's a lot of fun.īut I agree with you that Ableton's delays are oddly lacking. It repeats whatever is in its buffer indefinitely. Choose Repitch.Īnother interesting thing about Ping-Pong is that it has the Freeze button, the tiny one that says "F" which is similar to holding the Tap switch down on the El Capistan, or the Freeze button on the Echophon for instance. You have to right click, or control-click on a Mac, the top of the UI for the delay, like where it says "Ping Pong Delay" and you get a big menu. But the bizarre part is that it's hidden. Lastly, Ableton's Ping Pong Delay, as well as its other delays, does do some pitch bend, if what you mean is when you change the delay times. I hadn't discovered the feedback loops until recently. I've had this plug for years and barely ever use it except to just play with.
Softube tape echoes psp#
I was leaning toward PSP just because it's $30 cheaper. But I was also back-n-forthing between PSP Echo and Nomad Factory Echoes. Many delays in the Reaktor environment were tested as well and all of them glitched under MIDI control when running within Ableton. I tried Dubstation and Richochet but they glitched under MIDI control and, as mentioned, Dubstation won't do Ping-Pong. It doesn't glitch and that's a good thing. I also tested Ableton's Ping Pong Delay: It doesn't do pitch bend like tape and is a bit bland although I can see using it elsewhere. Thus, for my Buchla's FX send channel, I've settled on Nomad Factory's Echoes and GSi's Spring Type4. Quite a deal even if it is an ugly plug-in. The Softube is more AKG spring reverb as compared to the GSi's Quad-8 'vintage' (for lack of a better word although I loathe using it) tone.ġ9€. The GSi Spring Reverb is more flexible than the Softube offering and really can sound quite close to my old Quad-8 RV-10 and can sound quite 'old'. I can not get the Softube plug-in to sound even remotely close to my venerable Quad-8 RV-10 rackmount Spring Reverb and the overarching goal is to not have to bring my effects rack with me to gigs for parallel processing. I like the Softube interface due to it being dead easy to use. I have Softube's "Spring Reverb" already and they make a nice although rather tame sounding plug-in. I really didn't want to buy another spring reverb plug-in. Also, I already bought Nomad's plug-in so I don't have to pay more to get something that is very similar to what I already own. If I want a deep delay for studio use, I will just use Echoboy. PSP's plug-in offers a depth of editing that I just don't need due to already owning quite a few plug-in delays. PSP's Echo has a very busy control panel and Nomad's is much more direct in terms of getting where I wish to go. I didn't give this one a solid run-through with the same amount of depth as the others since I'm a bit burnt out on testing delays and have settled on using. It sounds fine but I can't use it live and I don't like separate and non-linkable input trims. Oh, well it was worth the try.Īs mentioned previously, the lack of tempo synch killed this one off for me. Unfortunately, Nitro glitches quite a bit even with interpolation turned on. The fun comes from adding things into the feedback loop. It is a fairly simple procedure to create a tempo-locked delay with feedback within Nitro. This one will be removed from my plug-in folder as I like Audio Damage's Dubstation better for this kind of thing.Īn oldie that I still have in my Mac. It doesn't sound like a tape delay wherein the the grit builds up over time. It's a balance pot between clean digital and 'degraded' through an LPF. I didn't particularly care for the implementation of the Degradation feature. It sounds nice enough and I like the Output Panning feature. Probably the worst glitcher of the bunch when the delay time parameter is modulated via MIDI CC. I like the voicing of the resonance control for the HPF. The Drive control crackles under mouse control.
The modulation features are easy to use and sound good. I think that it sounds nice and the Ping-Pong feature is enabled via a button and that's convenient. It glitches under MIDI control and therefore cannot be of use for my live performance setup. It is a bit deep and I haven't explored it fully yet but I've used it for several hours and it is my preferred delay of the following lot of 'new-to-me' plug-ins that I've tested. It's really quite good and doesn't glitch when under MIDI control. I'm just stating an opinion based upon MY needs. Please don't feel burned if I slight your personal favorite. I've gone about testing some of the plug-ins mentioned in this thread.
