Overview

Name | Version: Analog Delay 4.0
Author: AkihikoMatsumoto
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: Shaping Time Itself with a New Layer of Analog Instability




There are moments in sound design when a small irregularity becomes a gateway to a deeper texture. A slight drift in time. A subtle wobble in pitch. A fragile modulation that feels less like an effect and more like a living mechanical presence. This message is for those who listen closely enough to sense that kind of movement.

A micro study in unstable time
Analog Delay ver.4.0 is a Max for Live device shaped by close listening to classic analog circuits. Instead of idealized digital precision, it focuses on the delicate deviations that make vintage hardware feel alive. The new Flutter parameter introduces small random shifts in delay time, producing a quality similar to the uneven movement found in cassette tape systems. The result is a chorus like shimmer that is neither clean nor predictable. It behaves like a physical object.




The device also reaches into the unstable zone of self oscillation. When pushed, it responds with the familiar rising density that characterizes many analog delay units used in noise music and early techno. Manipulating delay time while the circuit is driving itself gives you a physical performance surface inside Ableton. Every adjustment becomes an act of sculpting energy rather than adjusting a preset.




 
Micro modulation as a method
Pairing the delay with LFMW allows the filter section to breathe with low frequency modulation that traces slow evolving curves. This combination is especially effective for producers who favor dark ambience, atmospheric bass textures, or the mechanical grain heard in experimental electronics. It produces timbres that feel assembled from small instabilities rather than large gestures. That scale of detail can transform a mix.




 
For returning creators
If you have purchased my packs on Sellfy before, your account may already contain the latest files. Log in to confirm and download. All my packs are continuously updated and new material is added at no extra cost. If you have not added Analog Delay ver.4.0 to your toolkit yet, this is an ideal moment to explore it. The device is built for creators who understand the expressive value of imperfection and want to shape it with precision.
