01Overview

Most delay plugins repeat the original signal with optional filtering or distortion. MSpectralDelay works differently. It applies delay time, feedback, panorama and level control to each frequency separately, and adds spectral transformations such as pitch shifting, frequency shifting and formant changes. The plugin is built around a dual interface: an easy screen with 20 active presets for beginners, and an edit screen for producers who want full control over the processing.

Spectral processing and creative transformations

MSpectralDelay processes audio in the spectral domain, so each frequency can be handled on its own terms. For every frequency you can set delay time, feedback, panorama and level. The developer also describes complex transformations, including pitch, frequency shift and formant changes, along with frequency-to-frequency and level-to-level mapping.

These tools suit effects that a conventional delay cannot easily produce, such as echoes that drift in pitch or repeats that shift in character over time. Adjustable up-sampling from 1x to 16x and 64-bit processing are also included.

Controls, modulation and workflow

The plugin has 1 to 6 fully configurable independent bands, modulators, multiparameters and adjustable oscillator shape technology. Its visualisation engine offers classic meters and time graphs, and the interface can be resized and styled.

Channel handling covers M/S, single channel and up to 8 channels of surround processing. Automatic gain compensation and a safety limiter help manage level. Synchronization to host tempo and MIDI learn for controllers are included, along with A-H presets and global preset management with online preset exchange.
