SSL X-Delay & X-Echo Bundle

SSL X-Delay

Endlessly Creative Vintage Digital Delay

X-Delay is the latest premium creative plug-in from Solid State logic. Inspired by legendary hardware processors from the 80’s era of big delays, huge vocals and blazing guitar tracks, X-Delay is perfect for cavernous FX, up-front doubling and vast stereo soundscapes. And all with that SSL sound that can slap you back to the ‘80s or take you straight to 2080.

Artistic creativity and production inspiration; X-Delay features the right selection of processing tools to quickly and intuitively create professional-quality delays for any vocal, instrument or sound. Add that ‘80s vibe by combining SSL’s renowned SATURATION and MODULATION for just the right amount of grit or shimmer. Unique MILTIPLIER control allows the alteration of all delay times simultaneously (an automation dream!). Crank ‘DIFFUSE’ and go from small plate to rich, thick reverb and beyond, and fine-tune delay taps using SSL HP/LP filters, DE-ESS and MIX control to keep your delays mean and mixes clean.

Features

• Intuitive digital delay plug-in that invites you to experiment
• 4 configurable delay taps: Independent level, ping pong and panning controls
• Easily sync delay taps
• Add swing and build polyrhythms by dropping sync’d taps into ‘dotted’ and ‘triplet’ modes
• Global MULTIPLIER: halve or double all delay times simultaneously
• SSL high and low pass filters, mid/side width, de-essing and mix controls
• SSL saturation and modulation to add that ‘80s edge
• DIFFUSION control, featuring brand-new reverb design

SSL Native X-Echo

Vintage Tape Delay, Advanced SSL Workflow

SSL Native X-Echo is a vintage tape echo plug-in, inspired by the sound of definitive early tape delay hardware of the 1960s while introducing SSL's signature analogue saturation and warmth. Aside from sounding great from the get-go, it is complemented by numerous other practical and creative features, such as built-in de-essing, waveform visualisation, and a brand-new reverb design.

Features

• Inspired by early hardware delay units from the 1960s such as the Echoplex tape echo.
• Combine tape-style analogue degradation with classic SSL-style distortion characteristics using the ‘Wow & Flutter’ and ‘Saturation’ controls.
• Models classic characteristics of hardware tape echo devices, including the looping EQ, soft clipping, gentle tape hiss and self-oscillation when raising the feedback above 100%.
• WOW AND FLUTTER emulates the effect of mechanical components like the capstan and pinchwheel, as well as the friction of the tape itself.
• Use FREEZE and KILL to build risers and drops in recordings and live performances.
• Bespoke one-knob DIFFUSION control, featuring a brand new reverb design.
• Built-in DE-ESSER for controlling the sibilant frequencies that tape echoes often accentuate.
• Designed to sound great from instantiation – even before you start tweaking it.
• Unique interface and waveform visualisation for seeing how the tape heads interact.
• Sync your delay to note values with a single click.
• 4 switch-able tape heads for adding variation.
• Cleverly stereoises mono => stereo signals using a phase-shifting technique.
• Built on the SSL Plug-in Engine.
• SSL’s cross-platform preset management and A/B-ing system.
• Built-in UNDO/REDO support.
