We have just updated HoRNet DeeLay Plus, our versatile digital delay
We have just updated DeeLay Plus, our versatile digital delay, and it’s packed with new improvements and fixes to enhance your audio production experience. HoRNet DeeLay Plus is an advanced delay plugin designed not just to create space, but also to move sounds in unique ways, making it an excellent tool for both subtle effects and experimental sound design. The plugin features two separate delay units, cleverly labeled “left” and “right”, allowing you to independently control the delays for each channel. These units are highly customizable, offering great flexibility in stereo sound manipulation.
One of the most exciting features of DeeLay Plus is the ability to route each delay unit to the left or right channel, and even cross-feed the feedback from one unit to the other. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for creating complex and evolving delay effects. Whether you’re crafting rhythmic, syncopated delays or experimenting with feedback that bounces between the left and right channels, this feature gives you complete control over your sound’s spatial qualities.
The plugin comes with standard delay controls, including feedback and delay time, which can be fine-tuned to your exact needs. Linking these controls together is an option for faster adjustments, allowing you to change both parameters simultaneously with just one knob turn. For those who prefer perfect timing in sync with their project’s tempo, DeeLay Plus also offers tempo sync, ensuring that the delay time is locked to your host’s BPM for seamless integration into your mix.
For a more intuitive user experience, DeeLay Plus provides instant visual feedback through its top waveform display, which shows both the input and output levels. This feature ensures that you always have a clear visual reference of your sound’s behavior in real-time, especially when you’re tweaking delay settings or creating more complex effects. Whether you’re in a fast-paced session or crafting intricate soundscapes, having a meter close by can be incredibly helpful for precise adjustments.
Beyond basic delay functions, DeeLay Plus includes a wide array of modulation and sound manipulation options. For example, the plugin allows you to filter the feedback path using both a 6dB/oct low-pass filter and a 6dB/oct high-pass filter, giving you even more control over the tonal balance of the delayed signal. These filters let you shape your delays to fit seamlessly into your mix or create entirely new textures.
In addition, DeeLay Plus offers a distortion unit that can be adjusted from a “clean” sound to a “completely crushed” one. This makes the plugin an excellent tool not only for smooth delays but also for adding grit and character to your sounds. The distortion can be pushed to extreme levels, allowing for aggressive, lo-fi effects that can make your tracks stand out with unique, edgy sounds.
Another standout feature of DeeLay Plus is the ability to set the feedback to 100%, enabling a “continuous loop” mode for each delay element. In this mode, the output sound never stops, even when the input signal becomes silent. This opens up possibilities for creating everything from weird and noisy sounds to hypnotic looping effects that can sustain indefinitely. Whether you’re looking for circular, evolving textures or bizarre, experimental noises, this feature allows you to stretch the boundaries of traditional delay effects.
DeeLay Plus brings a unique flavor to the table thanks to its Analog-to-Digital converter emulation. This feature emulates different bit depths, ranging from 24-bit to 8-bit, which can recreate the distinctive sounds of cheap 80s digital effects. This capability allows you to achieve everything from crystal-clear digital delays to gritty, vintage tones reminiscent of older hardware. The plugin’s ability to emulate lower bit depths also gives it a unique character that you can’t easily replicate with other delay plugins. Whether you want a pristine, clean delay or a bit-crushed, lo-fi vibe, DeeLay Plus has you covered.
The latest version of DeeLay Plus is version 1.2.1, a maintenance release with several important fixes and improvements to enhance your experience. The update ensures that the plugin works even more seamlessly, with adjustments to the pan controls and knob visuals to improve usability.
Fixed the delay pan knob working in reverse: This bug has been addressed, ensuring that the pan knob functions correctly, giving you full control over the stereo placement of your delay.
Fixed the delay feedback pan knob working in reverse: Like the regular pan knob, the feedback pan knob now operates as expected, providing precise control over the feedback’s stereo position.
Improved the usability of pan knobs: The appearance and value labels of the pan knobs have been updated, making them easier to use and understand, especially when working with intricate stereo setups.
The 1.2.1 update addresses some crucial usability issues, particularly with the pan controls, improving the overall user experience. These fixes, along with the added convenience of the improved knob visuals, make DeeLay Plus a more intuitive and stable tool for your delay effects. Whether you’re creating subtle spatial effects, complex rhythmic delays, or experimenting with continuous loops and distortion, this update ensures that your delay plugin will perform consistently and efficiently in your workflow.
The 1.2.1 update is free for all current owners of HoRNet DeeLay Plus. To download the latest version, simply log into your user area on the HoRNet website. Whether you’re working on a delicate mix or experimenting with sound design, this update will provide the stability, visual feedback, and enhanced usability that you need to take full advantage of the plugin’s powerful features.
