Pluralis: Multi-Mode Delay Plugin by United Plugins Free Download

Rated 4.7/5 on Plugin Boutique (442 ratings)

Pluralis is a delay plugin by United Plugins that splits the signal into separate paths, such as Mid/Side, Left/Right, Quiet/Loud or Low/High, so each part can receive its own delay. It is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats.

01Overview

Pluralis is built around a layered delay design. Instead of applying one delay to the whole signal, it divides the audio using one of four splitting modes and processes each part separately or in combination. The developer says this allows delay effects that are hard to achieve with conventional delay plugins. Alongside the split-signal processing, Pluralis includes two standard delays with Time, Feedback and Colour controls for more conventional, mix-ready results.

Split-Signal Delay Modes

Pluralis offers four ways to divide the signal. Mid/Side processing separates the centre from the left and right sides, a method also common in stereo EQs and compressors. Left/Right sends each channel to its own delay, which suits extreme effects at the outer edges of a mix or gentle delays on the side channels.

Quiet/Loud splits the audio at a loudness threshold set by the Crossover dial, so quieter and louder passages can each have their own delay. Low/High divides the signal around an adjustable frequency, letting low and high ranges receive different delay treatments.

Modulation and Visual Control

Two Modulation sections let you set Level, Rate, Feedback and Dispersion for each, which gives fine control over how much modulation reaches which parameters. The interface shows the four modes clearly, and each delay chain displays input and output levels and frequency information, so you can see what each path is doing.
