SpinAudio Announces SpinDelay 1.0 Plug-In for
Windows
December 12, 1999
SpinAudio Software, a developer of audio processing plugins for the music
industry, announces SpinDelay 1.0.
SpinDelay is an audio processing plugin available in both Steinberg's VST and
Microsoft's DirectX formats that can produce a wide range of tap delay based effects
with a spacious 3D-like sound. It offers two stereo taps with controllable delay
time, feedback, input lowpass filter cutoff, phase inverse mode, output pan, volume,
and 3D panning position, which allows you to separate delays in a stereo image.
The most important feature is that SpinDelay is designed so that its two stereo
delay lines can be connected to each other, which gives you a way to produce new
and different delay effects.
To add to the ease of use, SpinDelay has two special features:
a tempo based delay calculator and linking delays by a specified ratio. The delay
calculator allows you to set delay of every tap by specifying tempo value in Beat-Per-Minute
(bpm) and a ratio to one bar time. Let’s say you’ve got a straight beat
at 125 bpm and want to make a delay that would repeat every half a bass drum kick.
You set tempo to 125 and delay ratio to 1/2, then press button to set delay in
corresponding tap. The second feature allows you to ‘link’ delays at
a predefined ratio that may be 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, or 4. When tap delays are
linked, a change in one delay line is followed by the other delay line. This is
very useful tool when you want to get proportional delay values in both taps.
Key features:
- Delay line routings
- Panning position control
- Built-in Tempo based delay calculator
- Proportional linking of delays option
- Skins support
- True stereo-in/stereo-out processing

right mouse button on the corresponding knob
- Fine tune buttons which allow precise adjustments to tap delay values
- Five quick preset buttons.
