Three Bucket Brigade Delay Models in One Plugin

Echolyte combines three models of bucket brigade echo and delay, each with a distinct tone. Because the models differ in character, you can pick the one that suits a part rather than relying on a single flavor of analog delay.

The developer says the repeats are smooth and musical, which suits sources where the delay should sit inside the mix instead of standing out as a separate effect. Subtle settings give ambient, ethereal space, while higher feedback produces lush, cascading repeats.

Sync, Interface and Host Setup

Echolyte can sync its delay time to BPM, so repeats lock to your project tempo. The window is resizable, and the interface is a straightforward single screen, which keeps the controls easy to reach while you work.

Echolyte is also available as a module in Kuassa's Amplifikation 360 platform. It runs as a plugin in a VST, VST3, AU or AAX compatible host, so you will need a DAW or sequencer to load it.
