Delayer 1.0 by Ziob is a dual-channel filter delay device for Max4Live that enables users to craft intricate, randomized harmonic soundscapes. Its primary operation modes, ‘Harmonics’ and ‘Rand’, allow for user-defined frequency peaks within a specified range. In ‘Harmonics’ mode, the device permits custom harmonic cycles from 40 to 2000 Hz, with options to define cycle direction (Up, Down, Up & Down) for dynamic progression. The ‘Rand’ mode introduces randomness, extending frequency peaks up to 6000 Hz. Delayer 1.0 integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live, allowing sync with BPM or independent operation, and features a ‘Bounce’ to transform into a traditional filter delay. Other controls include timing adjustments (Time L), glissando transitions, and crossfade panning for spatial depth. The device is designed for both professionals and enthusiasts looking to explore the complexities of sound design.
