Rob Jackson has released DelayScaper, available for $4.99.
In ambient music and experimental sound design, delay isn’t just an echo—it’s a dynamic instrument. DelayScaper, an AUv3 audio plugin by developer Rob Jackson, transforms traditional delay by making it react directly to the nuances of your performance.
Available for iOS and macOS, DelayScaper uses envelope followers to track the volume and spacing of your incoming audio. As you play harder, softer, or adjust your tempo, the plugin dynamically shifts its parameters in real time. It’s like having an intelligent audio partner adjusting knobs for you as you play.
DelayScaper combines powerful delay routines with creative, experimental audio processing:
- Dual Engine Flexibility: Two identical stereo delays run in series, parallel, or a custom blended “cascade” mode.
- Ambient Soundscaping: With up to 8 seconds of delay time per module, it easily doubles as an evolving, Frippertronics-style soundscape looper.
- Integrated Pre-FX: Two custom one-knob effects:
- Octave Grains (pitch-shifted granular shimmer) and
- Random Reverse (unpredictable reverse micro-loops)—capture and transform audio before feeding it into the main delays.
Whether you’re crafting ducked echo trails, evolving synth textures, or chaotic reversed grains, DelayScaper brings fresh organic movement to your signal chain.
Features include:
- Dual Stereo Delay Engine: Identical processing modules with adjustable series, parallel, and blended cascade routing.
- Dynamic Input Envelope Followers: Assign incoming audio intensity to modulate up to 5 delay parameters simultaneously per module.
- Extended 8-Second Delay Times: Long buffer times suited for ambient washes, looping, and Frippertronics-style tape setups.
- Built-in Pre-Processing FX:
- Octave Grains: Random pitch-shifted granular shimmer.
- Random Reverse: Slice-based reverse audio engine.
- Host Tempo Sync: Sync easily to host tempo or run in free/unsynced mode.
- AUv3 & Universal Purchase: Native support for iOS (iPhone/iPad) and macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) as a standalone app or AUv3 host plugin (Logic Pro, GarageBand, AUM).
