What MSpectralDelay does
Traditional delay plugins apply a simple feedback delay to the whole signal. MSpectralDelay splits the input into one to six independent bands, and each band has its own delay time, feedback, panorama level and EQ, so individual frequencies can be transformed separately. Pitch, frequency shift and formant changes are among the spectral transformations the developer describes, and an adjustable oscillator shape technology is included.
The plugin runs as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native support listed for Apple Silicon and a minimum of macOS 10.14 or Windows 8. Processing covers mid/side, single channel and up to 8 channels of surround, with up-sampling adjustable from 1x to 16x. Activation requires no dongle and no internet access. The repack is packed as .rar and .iso, and the torrent or magnet link is the usual distribution route, with VST crack and AU crack queries also common.
Key features
- Band-based spectral delay. Between one and six fully configurable independent bands each carry their own delay, feedback, panorama, level and EQ settings, so the spectrum can be shaped unevenly over time.
- Dual user interface. A simpler screen is aimed at beginners, and an edit screen gives professionals full control. The interface is stylable, resizable and GPU accelerated.
- Host tempo sync and automatic gain. Delay times can synchronize to host tempo, and automatic gain compensation (AGC) adjusts output level.
- Presets and MIDI control. Twenty active presets are included, parameters respond to MIDI controllers with MIDI learn, and global preset management supports online preset exchange.
