FRCTL has released DLAY, a multi-tap stereo delay built around a direct-manipulation bar editor where every tap is a draggable bar on a single timeline.
Up to 64 taps can be placed, shaped and grouped on one canvas. Switch view modes to edit gain, pan, pitch, formant, filter, or saturation on the same surface. Six “Ripple” knobs let you propagate any value across every active tap in one motion, turning a single tap into a full cascade without editing them one by one. Rubber-band selection and group drag make working with large tap counts feel like sculpting, not data entry.
DLAY is designed to be deep when you want to design something elaborate, and fast when you just need an echo. The 168-preset factory bank covers everything from clean slapbacks to glitched-out sound design, and seven character modes (DIGITAL, TAPE, BBD, LOFI, SPACE, VINYL, RADIO) swap the entire feedback-path personality with a single click.
Highlights:
- Bar editor with up to 64 draggable taps on a single canvas.
- Six Ripple knobs for sweeping gain, pan, filter, formant, drive, or time across all taps.
- Seven character modes that swap the entire feedback path.
- Rubber-band multi-select and group drag for shaping many taps at once.
