Puremagnetik has announced the release of a new audio plugin that delivers a wealth of extended features for delay design.

A complete geometric delay workstation, Etappe uses the Golden Ratio series to create intricate echo complexities and mathematically beautiful reflections.

With 14 unique delay stages, each equipped with its own versatile multimode filter, panning, and reverse controls, the possibilities for sound manipulation are endless. By employing two parallel chains of stages, audio can be processed through a rich matrix of reflections that never overlap, creating a complex network of repetitions.

The multimode filter offers a variety of options for filtering, including low pass, band pass, and high pass filters. This allows for routing the high frequencies of a sound through one delay line, and the low frequencies through another, or creating a complex bandpass filterbank for the entire sound with varying delay offsets for each bank. With such versatility, the sound design possibilities are extensive.

Each delay line comes equipped with a reverse feature, allowing for even more intricate sound design when combined with the filterbank and multiple delay offsets. And finally, each delay line has a discreet panning option allowing you to spatially set your sound stage among the wealth of other sound design features. From intricate multi-tap sequences to tactile patterning rhythms, Etappe is a versatile tool for exploring hidden sounds contained within this divine series of numbers.

Etappe for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3 and AU) is available for $9 USD this month as part of Puremagnetik’s monthly membership. For $9 USD per month ($89 USD annually) members get newly developed devices each month.
