Explore your creativity with multiple delay lines
Flexible enough to be used in virtually any context, the RP-Delay isn't your ordinary delay plug-in. The architecture of RP-Delay is for six delay lines, paired in groups of two to create expressive and exciting repeats. Each of the six lines can be used together or individually, combining with the wide range of routing possibilities, RP-Delay is in a different world altogether from traditional stereo delays. Split into A, B and C for each of the two delay lines that are paired together, this brings you the six delay lines.
A true sound-designers dream, RP-Delay offers multiple routing options, offering yet more layers and ways to transform your dry sound to an expansive and interesting part of your composition. Mono, Stereo, Dual Mono, Channel Split, Split Multi, Serial Multi and much more modes are available. As complex or as simple as you need it to be, RP-Delay can replace any of your existing delay plug-ins with ease.
As the delay lines are grouped in two, this enables you to create classic ping-pong effects by altering the delay time of the left and right channels. Not only do you have control over the delay time, but you can also adjust sync, multi-mode filters and distortion parameters for the delay line. Setting your delay to sync (or not) to your music is quick and easy thanks to the easily labelled GUI that offers a visual representation of your signal path to help you to better understand the often complex world of stereo routing.
Expressive Reverse mode
Undoubtedly, one of the most creative and unique features of the RP-Delay is the Reverse function. Having this as a mode directly onboard the delay plug-in stops you from needing to process your tracks individually prior to making any reverse delay effects. Instead, simply use the mode onboard and create the perfect audio reverse for your productions. Using the time adjustment control, you can set the length at which your audio will reverse. Ideal for vocals, synths or even drum cymbal swells, you can create an elongated tail to lead into your track. Always nice for a ballad, you can sweep your vocals with a huge reverse effect before leading to the main verse for tremendous impact. Experiment for yourself using the onboard presets, crafted by industry professionals in both Send and Insert mode to see how a Reverse Effect can impact your music.
Trigger happy modulation
What sets RP-Delay apart from the crowd is the panel found at the bottom of the interface. Here, RP-Delay shows off the true processing and creative power it contains, boasting the envelopes, LFO and step-sequencer. Starting with the modulation, RP-Delay lets you flex your creative muscle, employing eight modulator sources comprised of four envelopes and four LFOs. Adding modulation to your delay is a sure-fire way to get a unique and often exciting sound as it goes beyond what is traditionally possible with hardware units or stompboxes. A randomised option for LFO modulation opens up a new world of possibilities with sounds evolving over time as the LFO reacts to your input source, helping you to achieve the otherworldly sound you're looking for.
The onboard step-sequencer pulls no punches in terms of letting you find unique sounds for your composition or mix. Made up of 16 steps with swing function, the RP-Delay's step sequencer enables you to create complex rhythmic movements in your repeats or can be used to trigger modulation sources per step. If you've been searching for the perfect way to create customised repeats tailored perfectly to your production.
Not one to leave out functionality for live performers, the Rob Papen RP-Delay can have the parameters assigned to your MIDI controller, allowing you to seamlessly play in unique modulation sources on-the-fly.
