Taps & Portals are two new Lunacy effects designed in collaboration with Benn Jordan for creative delay and feedback design.
Transform a simple echo into a whole new world of sound from clean, classic repeats to surreal, kaleidoscopic delay patterns with Taps.
Use Portals to build custom feedback systems within Lunacy’s multi-effects engine, BEAM, and bend space, time, and logic.
Tap into creative delay design
Use Taps for both free-running and tempo synced delay. Set fewer taps for a classic echo, or up to 8 taps for complex webs of sound. Use the Multiply and Divide modes to create everything from smeared delays to long rhythmic accompaniment. Set feedback to build controlled chaos, and use the Freeze button to lock it in place.
Sculpt your sound
Shape your delay with up to 8 customizable delay taps, each with its own pitch controls. Use the spacing controls to skew, cluster, swing, and ping pong your delays in space. Choose between 5 unique pitch modes for endless harmonic and melodic possibilities.
Add analog grit
Use the Tape section to add all the vintage quirks of analog delay systems. Add wow, flutter, dropouts, and dust to add a patina of tape warmth to your sound.
Bend time and space
Portals brings creative feedback design right into BEAM, Lunacy’s multi-effects engine. Add Portals in BEAM to instantly create a custom feedback system. Whatever effects are between the In and Out nodes will feed back into itself, opening a new universe of sound possibilities.
Control the chaos
Use the Gate, Delay, and Feedback controls to use Portals for gentle motion, or push your sound into complete feedback chaos. Portals features a smart feedback compensation system to ensure your sound never runs away from you, even at 100% feedback.
Feedback within feedback
Portals is more than just a linear feedback system. Split your feedback across and within multiple beams. Create impossibly complex nested feedback systems by adding Portals within Portals. Use the Panic button to cut your signal and shape your sound world without worry.
The power of two
Combine Taps and Portals together to create entire self-evolving sound universes with minimal input. Add Taps between or outside of Portals to combine powerful feedback and delay into one powerhouse feedback and delay suite.

“The new nodes in BEAM create possibilities I haven’t found anywhere else. Portals move BEAM from a super cool processing device into a highly creative performance instrument.”

"Very rarely does a plugin look this good, yet sound even better. After using Taps for just a few days, it’s already become one of my favorite delay plugins. Portals is equally as powerful, and visually compelling.”
