01Overview

ReLayer is a delay effect plugin developed by UVI, available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS. Its core is a variable multi-tap engine with up to 32 delay lines, controlled from a single screen with a dynamic patch visualizer. Delay times can be set free or synced to the host tempo, then shaped with swing and warp modulation. The plugin is aimed at producers who want anything from simple echoes to rhythmic, heavily processed delay textures, both in the studio and on stage.

Multi-Tap Delay Engine and Modulation

At the center of ReLayer is a multi-tap engine with up to 32 delay lines. Each delay time starts from a free or host-synced setting, then gets moved by swing and warp controls, which the developer describes as a way to create bouncing ball-style effects.

Clicking through the central tabs opens per-tap modulation editors for time, gain, pan and two multi-effect units. You can draw sequences for each parameter or load built-in presets, so the sound changes over time. Master low- and high-cut filters and separate wet and dry controls handle the final shaping of the output.

Color Section and Live Performance

The Color section processes the delayed signal through custom IRs modeled on instrument amps, effect amps and lo-fi devices such as hand-held radios, laptop speakers and telephones. The developer notes the effect can range from light grit to a strong change in the perceived source.

The playable Input Gate lets you feed the delay with signal in short bursts, which suits dub-outs, builds and delay on specific lyrics. The developer says performance stays stable at high repeat values and that the plugin is CPU-efficient for stage use.

Questions, answered

What formats and operating systems does ReLayer support?

ReLayer is available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS. Windows 10 to Windows 11 and macOS 10.14 Mojave to macOS 15 Sequoia are supported, both in 64-bit.

What do I need to use ReLayer?

You need a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 or macOS system with 4 GB RAM and about 300 MB of disk space. An iLok account is required for license activation, though a dongle is not needed, and an internet connection is used for activation.

Does ReLayer sync to my DAW tempo?

Yes. Delay times can be set as host-synced values, and swing and warp controls then modulate those times.
