 Hey, I'm Anfa. I'm a music producer and sound designer, but I only use open source software and Linux. In this very short video, made without any editing, I'm going to show you a new delay plugin, which is called Delay Architect. And I've heard that it's based on a plugin from Logic Pro, I believe. It's so much based on it that it even loads its presets. You can import a preset. So what this plugin does? I have prepared a little synth patch to test it. It's made in Odin 2, a really nice little virtual analog synthesizer, open source of course. And I'm gonna use it to demonstrate Delay Architect, what it can do and how does it sound. So the idea is you can insert delay tabs, like this. I've just created delay tabs. I can delete them. We can maybe make this a little bit shorter, so I'm gonna move this. You can see I can zoom and pan my timeline here because this is a timeline. We're going to edit the sound sequence on the timeline. And we also have a grid. This plugin syncs to tempo by default, I believe, but can also not. We can change the resolution and now we can insert tabs. We can insert any type of rhythm we want. And I think if we make this dense enough, it can even act as a reverb of sorts. I'm gonna try and reset it. Let's see. Oh, does it have a reset function? I don't think it does. That's maybe something missing. This plugin is in very early stages of development or it was like at the first release. Does delete delete stuff? Oh yeah, it does. Okay, can I like use arrow keys or something? Speed things up. Okay, let's reset everything. All right, let's say we want a simple 16th node delay. The cool thing about this is we can add a bunch of variations. So the first most obvious thing is of course the level of the sound. So we can make it go quieter with each tap. I wish the user interface could be made larger. All right, we can make it go quieter and louder and whatever like it can even get louder than the source material. We could even make it go louder and louder still. And if we use that all all wet, so disable the wet signal. Sorry, disable the dry signal. We can get something like that. But still this is very much not the most interesting things we can do because there's also filters and pitch shifting. So we will be able to do some really crazy stuff. Okay, let's see maybe filters. We have cutoff and resonance that we can modulate per tap. So if I select a tap and enable a filter, you know what? Maybe I will turn these off or just delete them. We'll start building one tap at a time. I'm going to do all wet. Okay, so this is my signal. It's louder. We have cutoff. So cutoff goes from two points because we have a high pass cutoff and a low pass cutoff. Right? So we have low pass and high pass. So we can define a band that this every delay tap is going to pass through. And we can also play with resonance. I'm not sure what's that going to do. Okay, so this is quite crazy because this is one tap. But if I add more, let's try and do this. Okay, if I click below this middle line, I'm going to change the high pass. If I'm clicking above the little line, I'm going to change the low pass. Oh, no, it just clicks to whatever is the closest. But we need to enable the filters. Okay, I'm going to enable it for tap B, enable it for tap C. Yeah. So we have a we can have. Okay, I'm going to insert more and try and make like a filter sweep of delay taps. So every tap will relieve reveal, excuse me, more frequency content from the original signal. Until it's just high passing. Okay, now I need to enable this for every single tap. I wish there was a way to edit them in a bulk like so drug and select a bunch of taps. Okay, let's listen to this. That is so cool. Wow, I want to save this as a preset. Is there an option to do that? No, that's just import. Can I? Oh, damn, I can't. Hey, wait, if I do edit, save state. Okay, I can do this as a. All right. So I can save with my presets folder. Presets. Hey, delay architect. Yep, filter sweep up. Bandpass filter sweep up. 16th, zero one. Carla state file. Okay, this is Carla state, not the plug in state. Okay, whatever. The plug in is obviously quite bare bones. Right now, for example, it would be nice if I could just click and drag to create a line and play, you know, two kinds of stuff, but this is already pretty cool. And yes, it requires a lot of manual work to dial in all the things. But your results are really awesome. Okay. So we have cut off. We can we have resonance. Oh, I'm affecting the resonance. Whoa, yeah. Okay, because I can change that via this or via this. It's the same thing. There is also tune, which is pitch shifting. I can tune up. Okay, we can try and make this like tuned down with each step. I don't know what's that sound. We need to enable this negative 1200 cents. That's going to be two octaves. Okay, I think this is a little bit too like 20 cents. Okay, 20 cents is like a semi tone. Sorry, quarter semi tone. Okay, it's quite, I think it's quite. Let's enable this gonna enable tuning or pitch shifting on every single tap. And let's see what happens. That's quite, quite interesting. Let's now play with panning because we can of course make this ping pongy. Left, right, left, right. Coming back to the center. And of course, we can use feedback. So enable that and it's going to say from which tap it will source the sound. Let's say it's going to be tap C. Okay, and there is a fader. That is really cool. I need to be careful because I have resonance on and this can quickly get out of hand. What about using the last tap, the age tap? That died off pretty quickly. That's pretty weird. Let's try the e tap of this one here. Oh my goodness, it perpetually goes lower and lower. That's so cool. So yeah, because it pitches it pitches it down and then it I think what happens is it like takes the signal that happens in here after it's processed and then feeds it back here. So when it was when if the signal was pitch shifted at this point, it's going to enter pitch shifted here and it's going to be pitch shifted even more because it's going like awesome. That is really cool. I'm going to save this preset as well. Alrighty, so that's pretty much what I wanted to show you today. This is delay architect. I'm going to link you the github page where you can find this plugin. You can download it. You can compile it. You can help the developer also report any problems and other stuff. There's also width and pen. What is that? I don't know. There's probably some features I haven't discovered yet, but this is a very interesting plugin. We haven't seen anything like that in the free and open source audio production world, so I hope you like it. Yeah, that's all for today. Thanks for watching. Also, huge thanks to all the people who are supporting me financially. They are helping me making videos like this one.
