Delay. It’s probably one of the most essential effects in audio processing,
even before widely used in music. It all started in the 1940s, where studio
engineers utilized multiple tape machines to create repeats of a signal
for creative uses. Along with the advancement of technology, this
particular kind of efffect is still developed continuously with more
features, new sounds, and modern routing possibilities. On the other
hand, many players still seek for classic delay sound that can be heard
on a great number of timeless records.
In the path to complete our line of Efektor plugins, Kuassa present the
Efektor DL3606 Delay.
Efektor DL3606 brings five most common types of delay effect to your
DAW, complete with modulation parameter to add life and movement
to the repeats or echoes.
Started from utilizing multiple tape recorders, oil can electrostatic units,
portable tape delay machines, to rack units and compact delay pedals;
Kuassa Efektor DL3606 Delay provides 5 types of delay at your disposal.
