AMATERAS JAPAN / AUDIO PLUGINS
CLASSIC MODULATED DIGITAL DELAY
Repeats that fade
into character.
Like the classics.
Darker, rounder, sweeter with every return.
The digital delays in eighties studio racks did more than repeat a sound. Their echoes took on a character of their own.
AMATERAS Delay Legend is a delay designed for send use, with that musical decay at its heart.
Turn AGE from transparent, modern repeats to a deep vintage fade.

01 / FOR YOUR TRACKS
The word before a chorus. The last vowel of a phrase. Push up the send and let dotted-eighth repeats trail behind the vocal.
The Sugarfields preset is the dotted-eighth ping-pong delay we use in our own productions, with our settings included exactly as we use them.
Turn up REPEATS and the echoes keep circling, growing darker and thinner until they disappear like mist.
Deep Dub pairs high feedback with a strong AGE setting. Try it on snare hits and vocal throws.
Fifties-style slapback. Dotted-eighth ping-pong behind a song. A wide, gently wavering, tape-like texture.
The modulation is offset between the left and right channels. Increase the depth for a broader stereo image.
Use eighth-note ping-pong to weave a part into the rhythm, or quarter-note repeats to place it in a larger space.
Five tempo-synced ping-pong and stereo presets bring depth to sequenced phrases.
02 / HOW TO USE
Delay Legend is designed for the classic send-and-return workflow.
Every preset is 100% wet.
Insert it on an FX channel and use each track’s send level to set the amount of delay.
Create an FX or return channel in your DAW and insert Delay Legend.
Tempo-synced presets automatically follow your song’s BPM.
Raise the send level from any track. Your dry signal stays unchanged.
03 / AGE — DESIGNED DECAY
Early digital delays had a character of their own, distinct from tape and analog delays.
The signal was compressed before recording and expanded on playback. Bit depth was limited. Longer delay times meant a narrower bandwidth.
Those limitations made the repeats sweeter and darker, helping them settle naturally into the music.
AGE brings that character together in a single control.
Each generation of repeats loses bandwidth and gains a rougher texture. On the display, the echoes fade into a rusty hue.
The imperfections became the sound.
04 / ECHO DISPLAY
The number on the left shows the current delay time.
When synced, it also shows the note value and BPM.
The right-hand display shows a sequence of echoes. They light up as sound comes in. Their spacing reflects the delay time; their height shows the decay.
In ping-pong mode, echoes alternate above and below the center line for left and right. Turn up AGE and successive repeats fade into a rusty hue. At self-oscillation, “∞ OSC” appears.
What you hear is there to see.
Internal limiting keeps self-oscillation under control.
05 / SPECIFICATIONS & CONTROLS
The display tells you the rest.
