Great delay, a real Swiss Army knife and a beautiful interface. The modulation lanes are incredibly powerful and the well organised presets showcase the range of this effect (/instrument?)

Sonic wonderment!
Used the iPad version of this for many years and it has constantly blown me away with its sonic palette! Super rich modulation and feedback/delay possibilities,amazing how analog it can sound for a digital device. Now I have updated my desktop setup I’m over the moon to be able to explore the M4L version. These developers make genius devices for those who want to explore the further reaches of sound!

Extremely useful delay. Did I say "delay"? Actually tweak it right, and you'll get a unique-sounding "synth" pads, gliding arpeggiator line, wicked glitchy SFX or cool, out-of-ordinary drum-like pattern that will enrich your composition or live performance.

Dedalus Delay VST by Aqusmatiq Audio
Dedalus Delay is a real-time audio “delay mangler.” A network of delay lines is granulated and modulated, producing a labyrinth of echoes, which are further processed by filters, dynamic processors, and saturation modules. Dedalus can create a wide variety of effects, from reverb-like ambiences to evolving resonations, from rhythmic pulsation to chaotic layering, from subtle chorusing to pure noise.
DEDALUS DELAY V1.1 WHAT’S NEW?
- With the new Parameter Lock feature, you can lock in your favorite delay settings and prevent unwanted changes while browsing the presets.
- The new Delay Free variation delay mode allows more experimentation and sonic exploration.
- The MIDI Input Transpose parameter enables you to transpose incoming MIDI notes.
- The Duck/Gate module now includes a linear/exponential switch, offering greater precision in shaping your sound.
- We’ve also added a helpful Help Menu, providing easy access to all the information you need to get the most out of Dedalus Delay. And with the new color palettes, you can now choose from various color options to personalize your user interface.
DEDALUS DELAY FEATURES:
- The delay can be set in rhythmic values, in seconds and also ad MIDI note pitches (resonances)
- The delay time can be continuously varied and granulated.
- The feedback can be set up to 200% to create infinite ever-changing resonances. A limiter within the feedback circuit prevents the uncontrolled increase in sound volume.
- Two cascaded fourth-order filters (low-pass and high-pass) allow shaping of the sound spectrum within the feedback loop.
- The overdrive module creates a warm distortion that gives depth to the sound.
- The duck/gate dynamics processor allows the sound produced by the delay to “breathe” along with the rhythmic accents of the incoming sound.
- The plugin has 8 modulators that can be used to vary all parameters. One modulator can modulate another modulator and even modulate itself! You can draw the waveform of the modulator, use a step sequencer or a random waveform generator.
PLEASE NOTE: Each purchase enables two activations on separate computers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Dedalus Delay is a VST plugin and works with Ableton Live as well as any other DAW that supports VST format. Simply drop it onto a track as you would any third-party plugin.
The range is genuinely vast. Dedalus can produce reverb-like ambiences, rhythmic pulsating delays, chaotic layered textures, subtle chorusing, evolving resonances, and full-on noise, all from the same core engine. It is particularly well suited to sound design, ambient production, and experimental electronic music.
Dedalus feeds audio through a network of delay lines and then granulates and modulates the output in real time, fragmenting and reshaping the echoes as they occur. The result is a constantly shifting, labyrinthine soundscape rather than a straightforward delay repeat.
Parameter Lock lets you lock your current delay settings so they are not overwritten when you browse through presets. It is ideal for keeping a configuration you like while exploring different preset options without losing your work.
Yes, version 1.1 introduced a MIDI Input Transpose parameter, which allows you to transpose incoming MIDI notes directly within the plugin. This opens up melodic and harmonic possibilities when using Dedalus in a MIDI-driven setup.
Dedalus includes filters, dynamic processors, saturation modules, and a Duck/Gate module that now features both linear and exponential response modes as of v1.1. These tools let you shape, tame, or push the processed signal into a huge range of sonic territory.
Dedalus Delay is available as a VST plugin for Windows and Mac. Installation follows the standard process of placing the plugin file in your DAW’s designated VST folder and scanning for new plugins on next launch.
