01Overview

RP-Delay is a delay effect from Rob Papen and is positioned as a companion to RP-Verb. The developer describes it as a delay with a particular focus on new features, including FX routing that lets the sound reverser process the input while reversing one of the delay lines. Each delay model can run six delay lines with eight active multi-mode filters at the same time. Its modulation section includes four modulation sequencers, four LFOs and four envelopes, with several trigger options.

Delay Models, Filters and Reverse Routing

Beyond a simple mono delay and a stereo delay, RP-Delay includes a tape-sound delay model. Rob Papen says the tape delay lets you change tape length without clicks, which suits movement during a delay line's time changes.

The sound reverser can reverse the input while simultaneously reversing one of the delay lines. Reversed sound can also be triggered from a MIDI keyboard, and the reversed signal can be sent through its own filter and distortion before returning to the mix.

Modulation for Delay Effects

Every element that can be modulated, including the delays, filters and reverser, can be controlled by the built-in modulators. The plugin provides four modulation sequencers, four LFOs and four envelopes, each with several trigger options.

This makes RP-Delay suitable for rhythmic, evolving delay patterns as well as subtler changes over time. Producers working on electronic dance vocals or acoustic orchestral instruments can use the same toolset across very different material.
