YSD-dELAY: More Than Just Delay
Discover YSD-dELAY from Yuroun Sound Design – a delay effect plugin that goes beyond standard solutions. This tool is designed not only for adding regular echo repeats, but also for deep creative sound shaping thanks to a unique set of additional features. If you are looking for a way to give your tracks a special character, atmosphere, or experimental sound, YSD-dELAY deserves your attention.
YSD-dELAY offers the classic delay effect as a foundation, but its true power lies in the modulation and processing capabilities of the delay signal itself. This allows you to transform simple repeats into dynamic, rich, or even completely transformed sound textures.
Key Features of YSD-dELAY
- Dual State Variable Filters: The plugin is equipped with two independent State Variable Filters – one for the left and one for the right channel of the delay signal. This gives incredible flexibility in shaping the timbre of the repeats. You can cut low frequencies to avoid muddiness, add brightness to high-frequency “tails”, or create interesting stereo panning effects by filtering each channel differently. The possibilities here are almost endless, allowing the repeats to fit perfectly into the mix or, conversely, stand out.
- Two Multi LFO’s: Give your delays movement and life with two multi-functional low-frequency oscillators (LFOs). These LFOs can be assigned to modulate different parameters of the plugin, such as delay time (for chorus or flanger effects on repeats), filter cutoff frequency, or amplitude. The ability to synchronize with the project tempo or the free run of the LFOs opens the door to creating rhythmic, pulsating, or chaotic effects.
- Waveshaper: Add harmonic saturation or aggressive distortion to the delay signal. The Waveshaper allows you to “sculpt” a unique character for the repeats, making them denser, “dirtier,” or tube-like, depending on your needs. This is a powerful tool for sound design, allowing you to move away from a clean, unprocessed echo.
- Built-in Amplifier (Amp): This feature allows you to “warm up” the delay signal, simulating the saturation of analog equipment. This can add warmth, compression, and pleasant harmonics to the repeats, making them more present and musical.
- Simple Equalizer (Simple EQ): Although the plugin has powerful filters, a simple equalizer provides an additional level of control over the frequency balance of the repeats. You can quickly adjust the overall timbre so that the delay integrates better into the mix.
- Dry/Wet Control: A standard, but necessary, control for precise mixing of processed (Wet) and unprocessed (Dry) signals. Allows you to easily adjust the effect balance in your track.
- Normalizing Option: The output signal normalization function helps to maintain the optimal volume level and avoid overload at the plugin output, which is an important aspect when working with complex effects.
- Preset Manager: The plugin comes with 30 factory presets that serve as a great starting point for your experiments or allow you to quickly find the desired sound. You can also save your own settings.
YSD-dELAY is a versatile tool for any producer or musician who wants to add depth, movement, and uniqueness to their tracks. It is ideal for processing guitars, synthesizers, vocals, drums, and creating atmospheric soundscapes. Thanks to its unusual set of features, it can become your favorite tool for experimental sound design.
