Overview

The bx_delay 2500 has been developed by Brainworx from the ground up and features a clear, intuitive interface that allows you to get to the delay effect you want quickly. Its glitch-free delays are perfect for automated delay time changes for stunning non-static sounds.

bx_delay 2500 has all you need to create everything from simple delay patches to experimental soundscapes and crazy cool beats. This is your new go-to delay.

By adding an extensive suite of effects to bx_delay 2500 Brainworx have created the perfect environment in which to create wild delay patches. Distortion, chorus and ducking have all been included to sculpt your perfect delay effect.

Using the now famous Brainworx M/S processing you can not only increase the width of any patch but critical low frequencies can also be controlled. The Mono Maker allows you to ensure everything below a specified frequency is perfectly in the center of the mix while your stereo image is left intact.

Features

  • Get to the delay effect you want quickly using the clear and logically structured interface.
  • Ducking on board!
  • Achieve unusual results by adding chorus and distortion to the delay line.
  • Take control of your delay effects with built in M/S processing.
  • Utilize the unique transient shaping feature to control the dynamic signature of the delay signal.

    Delays are a dime a dozen but this one does some things others don't do. And being Brainworx, it of course sounds fantastic. This makes for a very good "first choice" delay.
