Introduction At Relayer s core is a variable multi-tap engine, providing up to 3 delay lines. Delay times are initially set with a typical free or host-synced time parameter and then modulated by swing and warp controls, allowing for quick and easy bouncing ball-style effects. By clicking through the central tabs, Relayer reveals a number of per-tap modulation editors for an unprecedented level of control and flexibility. Explore and experiment with each section as you need it, exercising precise control over time, gain, pan and variable multi-effect units. Freely draw sequences for each parameter or use the built-in presets and listen as your sound modulates over time, then tweak and transform to taste. Relayer functions exceptionally well in both studio and live settings. A playable Input Gate allows you to feed the delay with signal momentarily, perfect for adding dub-outs, builds or deconstructions to your performances or applying delay to specific lyrics with ease and precision. Master low and high-cut filters along with discrete wet and dry controls provide many creative mixing options, and even at high repeat values Relayer provides rock-solid and CPU efficient performance making it a reliable force in the most demanding environments. In addition to the two multi-effect units, Relayer includes a unique Color section that can process your sound through a wide range of custom, high-quality IRs. Choose from a variety of dedicated instrument amps, discrete effect amplifiers or lo-fi devices like hand-held radios, laptop speakers or telephones to immediately change the character of your sound. The effect can range from adding a subtle layer of dirt to a complete and dramatic alteration of the perceived sound source. Relayer Precision Creative Delay An advanced creative engine housed in an intuitive and easy to use interface, Relayer represents a new benchmark for digital delay effects. Relayer was designed from the ground-up to provide an efficient and inspiring workflow that enables users to dial in everything from basic delays to radical rhythmic multi-effects with speed, precision and natural musicality. Both an efficient utility and powerful creative mangler, Relayer is a versatile and inspiring musical effect. Its unique combination of features, incredible sound quality and easy to master interface help to make it an indispensable tool, both live and in the studio. Relayer is compatible with current versions of all major DAWs on both Mac and Windows platforms (VST, AU and AAX). A single license includes 3 activations that can be used on any combination of individual computer systems or ilok keys. Relayer was designed with a unique set of features that make it remarkably versatile, producing everything from simple delay effects to pure sonic decimation. Despite its diverse capabilities, Relayer is extremely easy to understand and use. A single UI screen elegantly presents global and modulated parameters and a dynamic patch visualizer, giving you clear, time-based graphical representation of your current settings. You ll find Relayer incredibly easy to master and it s dynamic feedback will help you achieve even the most complex sounds effortlessly.

Spread and Width controls can be edited to independently change the distance between left and right points and the overall width of the stereo field. Spread Globally increase or decrease the distance between far left and right modulation points by 0-00% Width Add a delay to the weaker of the two channels (up to 0ms) to create the perception of a wider stereo field Spread makes an excellent automation target for gradually adding stereo effects to your delay.
