Puremagnetik have reduced the price of STAGES, a dual golden ratio delay to $1.00 for a limited time via Bandcamp.

Designed in collaboration with An Moku, Stages fuses geometry and sound with a precisely calculated golden ratio delay.

STAGES is available to PC and Mac users (VST and AU).

I took a flyer on this for a buck, as Puremag's doodads are generally pretty fascinating.

Unfortunately, the plugin fails to scan in both Cakewalk and Reaper (Windows 11, VST2 and VST3), and throws an error in Cakewalk if I force the scan to list it and try to add it to a track.

Hopefully it's a fixable bug and an update down the line will handle it. The video on their page was actually pretty cool.

Thanks.  I looked at the plug-in yesterday and as a fan of delays, I almost picked it up.  But the album was so full of crackling, I decided against it.  The crackling might have been intended by the artist and/or it might be part of a lo-fi appeal of the plugin (a feature, not a flaw), but the crackling was too much for me and I didn't want to get on the artists' e-mail list.
