It’s a quad digital delay with a bunch of patch points in its sprawling 42HP. But Xaoc Devices’ new Samarkanda and its audio buffer can transform into a lot more, from granulators to loopers to resonators – basically, anything you can build out of its four independent delays. It might be the most powerful re-patchable effect we’ve ever seen.
Read moreGranulator III, by Ableton co-founder Robert Henke, has received a small but meaningful update. It now allows audio-rate modulation (as in Granulator II) and new modulation possibilities.
It seems to be a season of digital delays, but this is something different. Dedalus is a creation of some beloved devs and experimentalists. They’ve combined delay with distortion, modulation (with drawable curves), and tons of granulation – all in a one-window UI. Calling it a “delay” almost seems like missing the point.
