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......

BaconPaul Two Filters, a free sequenceable dual multimode filter plugin - Sept 12,2025

BaconPaul, the same developer and also part of the Surge Synth team, has now released Dual Filters, an exciting new free filter plugin.

BaconPaul Two Filters

Two Filters is a new creative free filter plugin for macOS, Linux, and Windows. At its core, BaconPaul Two Filters features two independent multimode filters powered by the latest Surge Team filter API.

Each filter offers a vast array of different filter types, also featured in the free Surge XT Synthesizer plugin. You can find various ladder versions, OB-Xd filters, all 15 Oberheim Xpander filters, Korg K35 filter, and many more. Yes, even comb filtering is possible.

Cutoff frequency, resonance, and morphing on each side allow you to fine-tune the filter in detail. The filter routing is very flexible and is switchable on the left side. They can run in different serial and parallel configurations.

In the same column, you can dial in feedback with two dedicated controls: feedback and dry/wet mix, giving the filters a raw character. Additionally, you can tweak the pre-gain and the post-gain, plus infuse noise for crunchy, dirty filtering effects.

Talking about filtering effects. Two Filters offers two step LFOs, one on each side that acts like a 16-step sequencer. They are fully programmable with rate and smooth controls. Steps can be drawn manually into the steps.

A random function is missing, and it would be nice to have one to generate random patterns on the fly. Once the steps are set, you can assign the sequencer to different parameters that it should modulate: cutoff, resonance, morph, feedback, and dry/wet mix.

It’s exciting that each sequencer can also modulate the opposite filter, which allows you to achieve very complex filtering patterns. The plugin is still under development, so there aren’t many presets included.


First Impression
I downloaded Dual Filters directly and experimented with it a bit. It’s definitely a no-brainer plugin that no one should miss. I hope BaconPaul will expand the plugin a bit so that it becomes more polished. Thanks a lot, BP.

BaconPaul Two Filters is available now as a free download from GitHub. It runs as a VST3 and AU plugin on macOS (native Apple Silicon + Intel), Linux, and Windows.
