As an alternative to the multitude of analogue and tape delay emulations that dominate the market, it’s well worth checking out, although unsurprisingly we recommend plumping for its big brother if you can afford the extra $50. With seven delay modes and a modulatable looping section, you can see why Future Music said 'The results are stunning and the creative rhythmic and textural possibilities almost endless.' Available Now Loved by artists. It’s a comprehensive, powerful and musically engaging architecture that opens up plenty of options when it comes to getting Instant Delay moving, from pseudo-timestretching effects, stutters and rhythmic feedback control, to wah- style filtering, dynamic distortion and so on.Īlthough, on paper, Instant Delay does look like a demo of Sandman Pro, the enhanced filter and rejigged saturation give it its own identity.

Up to six modulators are added in the pop-out bottom panel, each one able to serve as an LFO, envelope follower, Sample and Hold generator, Macro knob, Step Sequencer (also added to Sandman Pro as of v1.1) or Roli Lightpad interface (see Blocks heads), and assignable by dragging colour-coded virtual cables to any number of knobs, via as many separate depth-adjustable outputs as you like. Up to this point, Instant Delay is fairly unremarkable beyond its core premise of ‘transparent’ delay time adjustment, but Unfiltered’s brilliant modulation system gives it real creative worth. Best thing about this and Unfiltereds other plugins is that they have their own character. One of the most unusual sounding modulation delays Ive heard. The rest of the Unfiltered Audio line-up will soon be upgraded to work with the device, too. Ive been using Unfiltered Audios Sandman Pro a lot in this last Sherlock season. Given how underwhelming Blocks’ focal Noise app is, we’re glad to see something being done with Roli’s hardware that might actually make it of interest to serious musicians. You can even use multiple Lightpads at once, each with its own assignments.

To hook it up, simply select ‘Roli Lightpad’ in one or more Mod Source menus and assign its four outputs to your choice of Instant Delay parameters via drag and drop in the usual way. The Lightpad can operate in one of four modes: as an X/Y/Z (pressure) pad, a bank of four sliders, four pressure pads (the surface divided into four quadrants), or four toggle buttons (likewise).

Instant Delay has the peculiar distinction of being one of the world’s first two plugins (the other being Sandman Pro 1.1) capable of connecting directly to the Lightpad from Roli’s Blocks series of Bluetooth/USB MIDI controllers. The input gain into the saturator is set with the Drive knob, and the clipping gets pretty rude at its maximum 4x setting while the filter offers low-pass, high-pass and band-pass modes with Resonance control. Independent randomisation of both times is introduced by the Jitter knob, with the degree of randomisation in each feedback loop influenced by the delay time. The successor to the highly coveted Sandman delay gets a serious upgrade.
