01Overview

HY-Delay4 combines several delay algorithms with a set of processing modules in one unit. The delayed signal can pass through an amp, a waveshaper, EQs and two additional effects in an order you choose. Parameters can be modulated with the four included modulation generators, and a sidechain input feeds a ducker or envelope follower. It is available as VST3, VST2 and AU for Windows and macOS, with a free trial.

Delay modes and processing chain

HY-Delay4 provides five delay modes: Simple, Dual, Grain, Groove and PM, plus a bypass mode. The effects modules, which cover an amp, a waveshaper, EQs and two FX slots, can be chained in any order. Changing the process order lets you decide whether, for example, the EQ shapes the delay repeats or the repeats are shaped afterwards.

The waveshaper is editable, so you can draw your own transfer curve rather than relying only on preset distortion shapes.

Modulation, macros and sidechain control

Four modulation generators offer five types of modulation source. Assignment works by drag and drop, so you can connect a source to a parameter directly on the interface.

Four macro controls let you map several parameters to a single knob for performance changes. A sidechain input drives the ducker and envelope follower, which is useful for letting the delay duck under a main signal. A randomizer is included for generating unexpected variations.

Interface and compatibility

The interface can be rescaled and switches between light and dark skins. HY-Delay4 runs on Windows 7 or higher (32- and 64-bit) as VST2 and VST3, and on macOS 10.12 Sierra or higher (64-bit only) as AU, VST2 and VST3.
