Valhalla Delay!
I need another delay like the Rack Extension scene needs yet another CV utility.
But he makes good stuff.

And he forgot ducking. The Echo has it since (1899?). God lord...

I totally agree about the ducking. Have come to super appreciate the Echo for that feature.
D.
Yea, wondering that so few delays come with a build-in ducking...Its quite easy to build one, but man...i just want ducking and not ultra high class compressing stuff...
The Echo is still better and has more features than most other delays out there. It just lacks a cross-feedback, which i need to build on my own if needed. Wish this would be added somehow...

What's that?
Most recent track: resentment (synthwave) || Others: on my YouTube channel •ᴗ•
It is feeding the echos of the left channel into the right and vice verse. There are a few patches in the FSB effects section which show the weird setup.
This is very usefull, if you want the echo of one side beeing re-echoed on the other...just a little bit...Can be very handy if you create reverbs with delay fx...and yea, often reverbs lack this feature too...
You can have some simple cross-ffedback with just crossing the breakouts on the back, or re-mixing this setup, or by using a mixer feedback loop with right->left/left->right feedback into the fx again.

Thanks for the explanation! That sounds like fun. I'm gonna experiment with that, maybe with some Polar and a phaser somewhere in between.Loque wrote: ↑18 Apr 2019It is feeding the echos of the left channel into the right and vice verse.

It has break-outs, nuff said... Very hard to beat this unit. Maybe my old Ibanez HD-1000 beats it in the lo-fi department, but I sold it... But then Decimort on the inserts, sooo...

You may want to take a look at LeSpace. It is superb for the 80's style reverbs using complex echoes. I have not found any other unit RE/VST that can get these sounds.diminished wrote: ↑18 Apr 2019

Sean from Valhalla DSP wrote a post at GearSlutz, which talks about the natural compander "ducking" at some settings.

A few people have asked "why no ducking?" in ValhallaDelay. Part of the reason is that we wanted to have as simple a UI as possible, and you can always set up a ducking path in your DAW. A bigger reason, for me, is that I really love the "natural ducking" you can get out of these nonlinear delay systems. It's an organic sound, that you can't get by simply controlling the output volume of a delay, and it sounds super musical to my ears.

I really, really like Valhalla Delay. Without wishing to sound too pretentious, I think it has a musicality and a depth to it that I haven't really found in other soft-delays. I never use ducking so that's not really an issue for me, but overall I think it's fantastic.

no.
But I have to say, there is nothing like "echoboy" but if it's not showing up, you either have it in a wrong folder (doze) or haven't installed it properly.................

RE ducking - there are three new ducking modes coming to Valhalla Delay. From Sean on GS:
"About the ducking: my goal was to have a one knob ducker that "just works." It took me a long time to figure this out, but I am very happy with the results. There isn't any hidden threshold knob or release time setting, because it doesn't need it. Under the hood, the ducking uses several program dependent envelope followers, and gain computers with no thresholds - just continuous "soft knee" transitions into ducking for both feedback and output level."
"The next major update of ValhallaDelay will have the BBDuck mode. This is largely based on the Ibanez AD-150 that you can see in my stack o' delays, with some aspects of the Roland DC-10 in there. The main quality of the AD-150 and DC-10 is variable bandwidth. These units have anti-aliasing filters that track the delay time, so you always have the optimal filtering to prevent aliasing. The upshot of this is that short delays can be REALLY bright, while longer delays get darker. This gives you a really organic sound when sweeping the delay time."

I really like their UIs
They're not big on wow factor, but always well laid out, user friendly and the mouseover descriptions of each function is a great touch

Valhalla Delay, other than being a delay (obviously), is also an excellent sound coloring device when used at 100 mix and no feedback. You got tape, ehh.. better tape(?), really lofi digital sounds etc. Good stuff!
