Introduction
Relayer
Precision Creative Delay
An advanced creative engine housed in an intuitive and easy to use interface,
Relayer represents a new benchmark for digital delay effects. Relayer
was designed from the ground-up to provide an efficient and inspiring
workflow that enables users to dial in everything from basic delays to radical
rhythmic multi-effects with speed, precision and natural musicality.
Relayer was designed with a unique set of features that make it remarkably
versatile, producing everything from simple delay effects to pure sonic
decimation. Despite its diverse capabilities, Relayer is extremely easy
to understand and use. A single UI screen elegantly presents global
and modulated parameters and a dynamic patch visualizer, giving you
clear, time-based graphical representation of your current settings.
You’ll find Relayer incredibly easy to master and it’s dynamic feedback
will help you achieve even the most complex sounds effortlessly.
At Relayer’s core is a variable multi-tap engine, providing up to 32 delay lines.
Delay times are initially set with a typical free or host-synced time parameter
and then modulated by swing and warp controls, allowing for quick and easy
bouncing ball-style effects. By clicking through the central tabs, Relayer
reveals a number of per-tap modulation editors for an unprecedented level of
control and flexibility. Explore and experiment with each section as you need
it, exercising precise control over time, gain, pan and 2 variable multi-effect
units. Freely draw sequences for each parameter or use the built-in presets and
listen as your sound modulates over time, then tweak and transform to taste.
Relayer functions exceptionally well in both studio and live settings. A playable
Input Gate allows you to feed the delay with signal momentarily, perfect for
adding dub-outs, builds or deconstructions to your performances or applying
delay to specific lyrics with ease and precision. Master low and high-cut filters
along with discrete wet and dry controls provide many creative mixing options,
and even at high repeat values Relayer provides rock-solid and CPU efficient
performance making it a reliable force in the most demanding environments.
In addition to the two multi-effect units, Relayer includes a unique Color
section that can process your sound through a wide range of custom,
high-quality IRs. Choose from a variety of dedicated instrument amps,
discrete effect amplifiers or lo-fi devices like hand-held radios, laptop
speakers or telephones to immediately change the character of your
sound. The effect can range from adding a subtle layer of dirt to a
complete and dramatic alteration of the perceived sound source.
Both an efficient utility and powerful creative mangler, Relayer is
a versatile and inspiring musical effect. Its unique combination of
features, incredible sound quality and easy to master interface help
to make it an indispensable tool, both live and in the studio.
Relayer is compatible with current versions of all major DAWs
on both Mac and Windows platforms (VST, AU and AAX). A
single license includes 3 activations that can be used on any
combination of individual computer systems or iLok keys.
New in v1.5
