Artists in DSP has announced the release of a unique multi-tap delay effect plugin built on the principles of Euclidean rhythm. Euclyd transforms delay from a simple echo effect into a creative tool for shaping rhythmic space and geometric motion.
At its core, Euclyd uses Euclidean rhythm, the simple idea of spacing a number of events as evenly as possible over time, to define its delay taps. This mathematical approach creates patterns that are perfectly balanced yet sound entirely organic.
- Geometric Timing: Each echo is a precisely placed beat within a rhythmic pattern. Users can adjust the Steps, Taps, and Time controls to reveal geometric timing relationships, shifting Euclyd from tight, tempo-locked grids to evolving textures.
- Motion and Groove: Though the patterns are mathematically perfect, Euclyd sounds alive. Swing and Feedback controls introduce motion, allowing static divisions to turn into rhythm that breathes and flows.
- Sonic Sculpting: Use the Low Cut / High Cut controls to shape the tonal range of the pattern, while the Diffusion control blends discrete taps into soft spatial clouds.
“We built Euclyd because we believe plugins should inspire. This isn’t just another delay; it’s a way to turn simple timing divisions into complex, pulsing rhythmic structures. It turns delay into architecture .” – The Artists in DSP Team
Key Controls for Creative Constraints
Euclyd’s minimalist parameters lead to maximal ideas through key features like:
- Steps / Taps: Define the number of rhythmic divisions and active echoes in the pattern.
- Time / Bars: Set the total rhythmic length, with options for tempo-sync or free time.
- Feedback & Decay: Control the sustain and gradual reduction of the later taps for complex motion.
- Preset Manager: Quickly save, recall, and randomize your rhythmic spaces.
Available in VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and Mac, Euclyd is priced $49.90 USD. Customers can take advantage of a limited time 50% intro discount by using coupon code EUCLYDRELEASE at the checkout.
