Sonaurelis In development

Timewake · Delay

Delays placed like notes on a grid.

Two bars of beat grid, and every tap is a pin you place on it — position is time, height is level — while regeneration ghosts decay through the second bar.

Timewake Delay — full interface, reference render

Reference render — Sonaurelis Visual Standard v2.0

  • Taps are draggable pins on a two-bar beat grid
  • Regeneration ghosts show the echo dying before you commit
  • Sync readout in division and milliseconds at once
  • Feedback meter with a marked stability point

The hero display

Place echoes the way you place notes

Delay times stop being numbers in boxes. On the lattice, every tap is a pin on a labeled grid: drag it sideways to move it in time, pull it up or down to set its level. Regeneration renders as ghost pins fading through bar two under a decay trace — you see how the echo dies before you play a note.

The sync readout keeps musical and absolute time in the same glance — 1/8 · 432 ms — and hovering the grid reads the tap time under the cursor.

Beneath the display, the audition rail keeps judgment one click away:

  • Bypass
  • Diff
  • Taps Solo
  • HQ

Feel-first macros

Eight controls by default

Five macros run the plugin by feel; the chips hold the exact values, double-click for typed entry.

  • ShortLong

    Time

    The base delay time, free or synced.

  • FadeInfinite

    Regen

    How much of each echo feeds the next.

  • StillDrift

    Motion

    How much the repeats move as they recirculate.

  • DarkBright

    Tone

    The color the echoes take on with each pass.

  • MonoWide

    Spread

    How far the repeats open across the stereo field.

The expert drawer

Swing, filters, ducking — one key away

Press E and the full plugin slides out — Time (L/R offset · swing), Feedback (filter · saturate · diffuse), Duck (amount · attack · release) — each parameter a knob with its exact value in a chip beneath it. The macro band and meters stay live while it is open.

Hidden, never removed: every parameter stays automatable and preset-addressable whether the drawer is open or closed.

Truthful by construction

A feedback meter that warns you first

The rail’s feedback meter runs 0…∞ with a marked STABLE point and a live percentage — ride regeneration right up to the edge of runaway, and know exactly where the edge is.

Suite-wide rule: every moving pixel traces to real telemetry from the plugin’s own DSP. No decorative spectra, no idle animation imitating signal. When nothing plays, the displays hold their calibrated scales at rest — never a synthetic waveform.
