Your Delay Is a Canvas.
- •Drag taps anywhere on a single timeline — no separate menus, no knob-per-tap deep dives
- •Switch view modes to see and edit volume, pan, pitch, formant, filter, or saturation across every tap at once
- •Rubber-band select a group, drag them as one. Copy a tap's vibe and paste it onto another. Right-click to mute. Pencil-mode for freehand shaping
- •Zoom into any moment of your delay timeline like you'd zoom into a clip in your DAW
Cascades you can hear
Sweep Everything With One Knob.
- •Gain Ripple drops volumes off across the chain — instant decay shapes from gentle fade to sharp tail
- •Filter Ripple opens or closes the high-pass progressively, so each repeat cleans up a little more than the last
- •Pan Ripple spreads alternating taps left and right — combine with Ping Pong for groove-locked stereo throws

“Calling it a DLAY is doing it a bit of an understatement. I guess Time Oriented Manipulation Environment was a bit too long ... Excellent piece of kit. I shall be playing with it for some Time to co...”

Version History
Glide Switch
A new switch in the Settings panel controls how taps react to delay-time changes. Smooth (default) crossfades tap times to their new position with no pitch artifacts or clicks — ideal for automating tempo. Repitch gives the classic tape-style pitch glide as the delay time slides, for deliberate glitch and sound-design moves.
Background Tempo Tracking
Tempo sync now keeps tracking the host tempo even when the plugin window is closed. Previously tap times only followed the BPM while the editor was open.
RATE Preserves Custom Timing
Adjusting the RATE now rescales your pattern proportionally instead of resetting it to an even grid, so hand-placed taps keep their shape.

System Requirements
Questions
How many taps can I run?
Up to 64 taps per channel. Stereo-linked: 64 taps mirrored across L+R. Unlinked: 64 left + 64 right, fully independent — 128 total.
Does it sync to my DAW tempo?
Yes. SYNC mode locks tap times to note divisions (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64) with EVEN, DOT, or TRIP modes. SYNC OFF gives you free milliseconds (10 ms – 5 sec).
What's the difference between this and a normal delay?
Even feature-rich multi-tap delays usually stop at level and pan per tap. DLAY gives you 64 taps on a single canvas with per-tap pitch, formant, filter, saturation, pan, and reverse — plus six ripple knobs that cascade values across every tap with one twist.
How do I install?
Download, drag to your plugins folder, enter your license key on first open. Done.
Is there a trial?
No trial, but the 14-day money-back guarantee means you can try risk-free.
CPU heavy?
Active taps with pitch/formant use Signalsmith Stretch — that's the heaviest path. Clean taps are extremely light. Run as many as your project needs and bounce when it gets crowded.
Commercial use?
Yes. Use in any project. Keep 100% of your royalties.
