Valhalla DSP releases ValhallaDelay v3.0 - Two new delay modes: Chrome Tape and Analog
26th November 2024 - KVR Audio News

      

Valhalla DSP has announced the release of version 3.0 of ValhallaDelay, featuring two new delay modes, Chrome Tape and Analog. Version 3.0 is a free update for ValhallaDelay Owners.

Analog: More Real Than Real

Analog is a bucket brigade echo model, but with some modern twists. It uses a companding BBD model like the original ValhallaDelay BBD mode, but with 2X the frequency bandwidth, 1/2 the noise, and a new saturation model that sounds closer to thicker BBD units.

  • Analog is far brighter than a real BBD device, but less bright than a digital delay. This ends up being a perfect frequency balance for delays, choruses, and reverbs. Dark enough to have character and cut away the obnoxious high frequencies, but bright enough to avoid the murk. We've been using Analog nonstop in house for our own musical work. It might be our favorite mode in ValhallaDelay.

Chrome Tape: More Reel Than Reel

Chrome Tape is very close to the original Tape mode in ValhallaDelay, but with the feedback noise greatly reduced and the tape splice artifacts eliminated (the tape splice artifacts will be removed in version 3.0.1). This makes Chrome Tape a less accurate model of old school tape delays than the original Tape mode, but also is a response to users that like the sound of Tape but want less artifacts.

  • Seems like it would be boring, but turns out Chrome Tape is incredibly useful in the mix.
