BIONIC DELAY 2 - VST3 64bit for Windows: BETA available for testing

[interruptor]

The long awaited 64bit version of BIONIC DELAY will soon be available.

If you want to test the BETA version and give feedback about how it works on your system, please send me a DM and let me know your Host-program/DAW and Windows version.

==> UPDATE March-27: I am closing the window for new BETA testers now. Thanks for all who applied.

The new version Bionic Delay 2 has all the functions of the original plus a few new ones:

• Swing: Repeated delays with a swing feel. Similar to swing timing on a drum machine or quantizing to a swing grid in a DAW

• Freeze: Endless delays without any change to the delay sound

• Character: Choose the sound of your delays from clean to wonky analog or gritty lo-fi digital.

• Improved GUI: "LINK" button links the delay times for the right and left side

• Improved GUI: Reset parameters to their default value by clicking on the parameter name

Hi
I am interested in testing this bionic delay. I mix in Ableton, windows 10.
Thanks and big up

Initial reactions from Beta testers show that the CHARACTER dial is not self-explanatory from the GUI alone. Hence some explanation.

In short: Think of it as a condition control that goes from new and clean (center position) to old and beaten up in the extreme left and right positions.
- fully right: very old analog
- fully left: very old digital

In more detail:
The middle position "CLEAN" represents a clean digital effect with no signal degradation. (Note: The HI CUT and LOW CUT sliders are always active. If you want a completely static endless delay, move HI CUT to the far right and LO CUT to the far left and crank up the FEEDBACK. Or simply hit the FREEZE button)
Moving the dial to the right results in signal colouring typical of analog devices. Up to the position "BIONIC" some tape-like compression is introduced. "BIONIC" corresponds to the sound of the old version of Bionic Delay.
Moving the dial further to the right adds more extreme degradation to the signal: Compression, tape noise, wonky tape transport, amplitude variations. At this point a row of four buttons appears, allowing customization of the degradation:
- NOISE: enable/disable transport noise
- WONKY: enable/disable transport speed variations
- SPLIT: enable/disable separate processing for left and right channel resulting in a wide stereo image.
- LOFI: exacerbates all of the above and adds amplitude variations typical of warped or crinkled tape.
Moving the dial from the CLEAN position to the left does a similar thing but in a digital fashion. The position CRUNCH corresponds to 12 bit signal quality with slight compression.
Moving the dial further to the left adds more extreme bit crunching plus sample rate reduction. In the extreme left position with the LOFI button engaged the result is a shocking 2 bit resolution and just a few kilohertz of sample rate.

Thanks!

Btw, i was wondering if Dubcreators dub-guide is still online, the one with the basic one drop, steppers etc beats explained...

keep up the good work,

merci!

Long time ago, Dubcreator the dub artist was participating regularly in this forum. But I can't remember that he posted a guide for dub beats here.
Maybe you can ask him directly? His username is "DC" so you could try to send him a direct message.
He did not post here in a very long time but he is active in the Facebook Dub producers group.

Hello.
I have a bunch of expensive delay plugins, but none of them suit me, only your Bionic Delay! Due to the fact that now my main working system is on apple silicone, your wonderful plugin is no longer available to me. (( Can I expect an arm version of the plugin on mac os and what can I replace the delay with until your plugin is released? I tried to set up the Echo Boy plugin from Sound Toys, ValhallaDSP Delay, Roland RE-201 from Roland Cloud and others, but all to no avail... One attenuation effect with a shift to the left or right channel is worth something..
