The PolyRhythm Delay XL is a unique delay VST that redefines rhythmic understanding.
Designed for producers seeking to break free from traditional grid-based delays, add advanced rhythmic patterns with complete timing control.
This Poly-Rhythmic Delay plugin adds dynamic, evolving textures and spacious depth to your mixes. Its delay settings reshape your sense of rhythm while giving you precise control over the final sound.
An example of the VST in action;
Innovative Polyrhythmic Engine
At the heart of the PolyRhythm Delay XL is its ability to assign independent rhythmic subdivisions to the left and right channels. This feature enables the creation of complex, interwoven echo patterns that evolve and feed back over time.
For instance, setting the left channel to 4/12 (triplet quarter notes) and the right to 3/16 (dotted sixteenths) results in echoes that push and pull against each other, creating a rich delay and opening ideas for unique arrangements, grooves, and rhythmical flows. The backbone of rhythmically rich and engaging productions.
If you want to DIY this, I recommend working out the delay times using our Polyrhythm delay calculator.
Three Timing Modes for Versatility
- Classic Mode: Utilizes traditional note values for standard delay effects.
- Millisecond Mode: Allows for precise, freeform timing adjustments.
- Polyrhythmic Mode: Enables independent rhythmic control over each channel, facilitating complex rhythmic designs.
Comprehensive Sound Shaping Tools
PolyRhythm Delay XL doesn't just control when echoes occur; it offers extensive control over how they sound and behave:
- 3-Band EQ: Provides precise control over which frequencies feed into the delay path, allowing for tailored tonal shaping.
- Built-in Reverb: Adds dimension by pushing echoes into lush ambience or tight reflections.
- Analog-Style Drive: Saturates the feedback to add warmth and edge.
- Dynamic Ducking: Keeps delays tucked beneath the dry signal, allowing them to rise only when there's room to be heard.
True Mid/Side Delay Processing
A standout feature of this plugin is its true Mid/Side delay mode. Instead of simply assigning delays to the left and right channels, this mode splits your audio into its center (Mid) and width (Side) components. You can apply one delay timing to the Mid signal and a completely different one to the Side, creating echoes that bounce around the stereo field in ways that traditional panning cannot replicate.
Inspired by Rhythmic Traditions
Rooted in the rich traditions of West African drumming, Indian classical music, and jazz, the PolyRhythm Delay XL brings polyrhythmic techniques into the digital realm. This plugin allows producers to craft evolving pulses, cross-rhythmic textures, or subtle stereo interplay that brings motion and emotion to their tracks.
