The modern vintage delay Inspired by classic rackmount delay processors of the 80s SSL X-Delay delivers a distinctive delay flavour which pairs perfectly with just about anything you throw at it. Any style of delay you could imagine X-Delay can deliver. Dark and gritty repeats with an aggressive character shimmering slapbacks or classic clean repeats are all possible. At the heart of X-Delay are the four configurable delay channels each with independent control over level and panning with a dedicated ping-pong control. Perfect for enhancing the rhythmic groove of your track you can tempo-sync each delay line to your host tempo or add some interesting polyrhythmic complexities and off-beat repeats in free-hand mode. Just about every beat division imaginable is included along with dotted and triplet modes for enhanced rhythmic options. Rigid electronic dance music could benefit from additional rhythm and groove by adjusting the time of each delay line manually to add some much-needed ebb and flow to the typical four-to-the-floor drum beats. Its not just the delay times and levels that offer tonal variation X-Delay includes a suite of parameters to change the character and response of your delay as well. Classic SSL-style saturation is included on a single dial letting you crank it up to add some edge and distortion to your repeats an excellent choice when looking to add some lo-fi character to your vocal recordings. Tune the frequency response of your delay repeats with the Diffuse control shaping the frequency decay of your FX to shape your sound from small plate to rich thick reverb in one dial. All of this can even be made to be stereo enhanced by combining static channels with ping-pong channels for movement across the stereo field! Typically a delay may be used to add subtle depth to a lead vocal track or a lead guitar track enhancing the sustain of each note. No such boundaries exist with X-Delay. Why not try using it across multiple drum tracks in a mix creating unique interconnected stereo-enhanced repeats for added rhythm and groove or use it across ambient synthesizer pads to add analog-inspired character and edge. Effortless experimentation Built for creativity SSL X-Delay is housed in an intuitive interface which allows you to access every parameter in one window. Although inspired by classic digital hardware processors of the 80s SSL X-Delay has been brought up to date with an advanced workflow and feature set which enables you to fully explore the potential of the plug-in. Each delay channel is provided in a streamlined individual component with access to all time level panning and ping-pong controls at your fingertips. An indispensable tool for delay plug-ins X-Delay also features a global and individual host tempo sync button to quickly lock in with the BPM of your project. Additional global controls are supplied but provide a much more creative outlet rather than a functional one global Multiplier control lets you halve or double the time of all delay channels simultaneously. As each parameter within X-Delay is automatable Multiplier provides a creative opportunity to dynamically alter the groove of your track when sections speed up or slow down. Live performance-ready its not just the Multiplier that offers on-the-fly adjustments. Freeze and Killswitches do exactly as youd expect hold repeats down or mute them entirely. Create tension-building risers with the Freeze control to build up the main drop or impact section of a track and then kill the lights with the Kill switch to remove all FX to make your impacts more punchy! Aiding in modern workflow X-Delay includes low and high-pass filters onboard. Meaning you dont need to reach for an external plug-in to remove excess low rumble and high-frequency screeching perfect for getting your FX to sit within a mix. Additionally a simple De-Ess control tames harsh upper midrange and treble region frequencies to smooth out the sound of your repeats if heavy saturation is used again making it much easier to fit your FX into a mix.
