Bionic Delay
==============

rel 1.0, 2003-12-26

A free VST stereo tape delay plug-in with host synchronization.

brought to you by www.echochamber.ch and www.interruptor.ch

features:

- tape model including tape saturation, wow & flutter,
  low and high pass filtering, smooth parameter for
  continuous delay time changes like on a real tape delay

- independent delay time setting for left and right channel
  
  setting the delay time: First select a coarse delay time
  by pressing one of the note buttons: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16
  notes are available. Then adjust the groove parameter to
  achieve any timing between 33% = tripplet and 75% =
  dotted note. 50% is the "neutral setting" which corresponds
  to the note button selected

- parameter "drift" balances the feedback amount for the right
  and left channel. This allows delays drifting to the left or
  to the right in the stereo field.
  In the case of different delays times on the right and the
  left side this parameter can be adjusted to prevent the delays
  from dieing out faster on the side with the shorter delay time.

- enabling the parameter "ping pong" crosses the feedback lines
  and mutes the right input. This results in a ping pong
  delay effect: The delay alternates between the right and
  the left side. If the left and the right delay time is
  different a "galloping" effect can be heard, otherwise
  the delays occur at a steady pace. 

- all parameters are controllable by midi controllers.

- Pop-up hints help to understand the function of each
  control on the user interface. These appear when the
  mouse rests over a control. 

- Also the assignement of midi controllers is documented
  in the pop-up hints
