"Experience the ambiance of destroyed footpedal delays, worn tape recordings, and alien reverberations: that's the goal of Brainworx's latest invention, the bx_pulsar, your fresh new favorite delay effect"
Brainworx has announced the release of its latest flagship delay plugin, the bx_pulsar. This innovative tool offers a sonic palette ranging from pristine digital delays to emulations of classic hardware and otherworldly reverse echoes [1].
At the heart of bx_pulsar is its five different delay modes, each with a unique sonic fingerprint and set of possibilities [2]. These modes include:
- Air: A clean, uncoloured digital delay for pristine reflections and diffusion.
- Circuit: Inspired by vintage 'bucket brigade device' delays and classic guitar pedals, offering authentic analogue grit.
- Magnetic: Provides the sound of analogue tape, reels, and cassettes with rich modulation and degraded textures.
- Reverse: A smooth reverse delay with added diffusion and compression for ethereal effects.
- Aether: Supplies surreal and original delay effects designed to add sparkle, radiance, and diffusion, including grain processing and pitch shifting for experimental textures.
The bx_pulsar delay plugin is currently available for $69, but can be purchased for an introductory price of $49.99 until 30 October [6].
Core capabilities of the plugin include an 8-step sequencer for creating complex delay patterns automatically [3], a built-in ducking compressor for quick mixing, and Swing and Offset controls for adding subtle groove and timing shifts to the repeats in the delay [4]. Additionally, the plugin offers Freeze and Clear Buffer features, allowing for limitless options for capturing sounds and creating textures with infinite delays.
Advanced filtering options, including low/high cut filters and frequency dampening, enable users to precisely sculpt the tone of their delays. Multiple stereo modes also explore spatial effects, making bx_pulsar a versatile tool for producers and musicians [5].
