Sonimus - DelaySon (Tape Delay Plugin) Free

DelaySon by Sonimus is a Virtual Effect Audio Plugin for macOS and Windows.
It functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin, a VST 3 Plugin and an AAX Plugin.

Sonimus has released DelaySon, a free plugin for macOS and Windows they describe as "a modern tape delay plugin with analog soul".

This tape delay plugin combines the lush, saturated sound of classic analog delays with a workflow tailored for today's producers and mix engineers.

Whether you're after subtle width, rhythmic complexity, or wild modulation, DelaySon gives you the tools to shape time with analog authenticity. Featuring a powerful preamp section, custom Color shaping, and deeply controllable delay behavior, this plugin is designed to sound good fast and push creative boundaries.

Key Features
TIME Module – Control the Rhythm and Blend
The TIME module is the foundation of DelaySon's echo engine, giving you intuitive control over timing, synchronization, and mix:

• TIME: Sets the delay time for the echo effect, allowing you to dial in anything from tight slapbacks to long, spaced-out repeats.
• MODE: Choose between two modes:
  • Sync Mode aligns the delay time to your DAW's tempo (e.g., 1/4, 1/8 notes).
  • Time Mode lets you manually adjust delay time in milliseconds for complete creative control.
• WET MIX: Adjusts the balance between the delayed signal and the dry (original) signal, letting you blend the echo to taste.
• OUT GAIN: Controls the final output level of the effect, ideal for gain staging within your mix.

COLOR Module – Shape the Echo's Tone and Movement
The COLOR module adds dimension, character, and tonal sculpting to your delays with tape-inspired warmth and dynamic filtering:

• MODULATION: Introduces classic tape-style modulation (Wow & Flutter), adding organic movement and vintage feel to the repeats.
• TONE: Shapes both high and low frequencies of the echoes. Lower values darken the tone; higher values brighten it.
• LOW CUT: Applies a smooth 100 Hz high-pass filter to the delayed signal, removing excess low-end for a cleaner mix.

DELAY Module – Echo Depth, Character, and Space
The DELAY module enhances the depth and stereo image of the delay effect while infusing rich harmonic saturation:

• FEEDBACK: Determines the number of echo repetitions—from a single slapback to endless self-oscillation.
• L/R OFFSET: Fine-tunes the timing difference between the left and right channels to widen the stereo field and create immersive spatial effects.
• DRIVE: Adds tape-style saturation to the echoes, enriching them with harmonics, warmth, and analog character.

Harrison launch free 3D Delay plug-in - Published 20/8/25

3D Delay is described as a professional-grade processor that’s been designed to instantly deliver mix ready results, while Stunning Phaser, Dyno Mite and Spectral Gate bring a selection of powerful new tools to the company’s software line-up.

3D Delay

Based on the technology found in Harrison’s digital consoles, 3D Delay is said to be suitable for everything from creating a subtle doubling effect to enhance depth and width, to slapback echoes and evolving multi-tap ping-pong delays. The plug-in features three individually adjustable delay taps that are each equipped with full panning, feedback, filtering, modulation and tempo-sync parameters, and comes loaded with a collection of 10 mix-ready presets.

Compatibility

The new plug-ins are supported on PCs running Windows 10 or above, and Macs running macOS 13 and higher. VST, VST3, AU and AAX versions are available.

The GUI looks definitely OTT!!! I watched the video but I don't get a clue how to operate this thingie....

 

It confused me too, but the website has a pretty good mini manual:

- Drag vertical handles to adjust crossover frequencies.
- To remove a band, drag a vertical handle all the way to one of the sides.
- To create more bands, double-click a horizontal handle.
- Drag horizontal handles to adjust the threshold.
- Drag on the body of a band to change the compression ratio.
- If you need to enter a specific value, right-click any control and its value becomes editable.

 

You're very probably right. Maybe I am just too old to handle this VST intuitively.

 

You are not alone.

 

Ohhh, and you look so young......
