Inside DLAY
As simple or as deep as you want it. Start with one echo.
See it
Every echo is a line you can drag.
- •Drag a line sideways and the echo moves in time. Drag its dot and it gets louder or quieter.
- •Box-select a few and move them together.
- •Switch the view and the same lines set each echo's pan, pitch, tone or drive. Up to sixty-four echoes.
Shape it
One knob shapes all the echoes at once.
- •GAIN fades them out along the chain.
- •PAN spreads them left and right. FILTER darkens each repeat a little more than the last.
- MOTION makes the pattern roll through the echoes over time.

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?
Yes — the complete DLAY, free for 14 days. Start it right from the plugin: no card, no account. When the trial ends, projects you made still open and play exactly the same; only editing locks until you buy. And there's still a 14-day money-back guarantee on top.
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.
