Multi-tap delays are so much fun to use as they tend to push extremes. From simulating a chorus effect to creating impressions of particles and textures moving about in surround sound really creates that impressive atmosphere. Delays with six taps seem to be too generous for some users, but then some crazy bunch of audio designers sought to have more, hence the creation of Intelligent Devices MegaDelayMass.

The MegaDelayMass is a multi-tap plugin that sports 100 taps. Yeah, yeah so it's a hundred. Wait a minute, did I just say it's a hundred? Yes I did. It's capable of handling 100 taps that can be rigidly time-synced or completely randomized. This delay plugin now gives you a new way to think about how to use a delay. While you can do your standard fare delay textures as well as a way to sustain your guitar a little bit more, the MegaDelayMass is capable of creating granular sounds and textures that you hear from users of MAX/MSP or Pure Data. You can recreate amazing resonance as well as otherworldly effects. The taps could be panned or placed anywhere over 2000 ms with control over its own feedback and phase plus you can also add a regenerative delay that plays back only the sound of the taps. Now you can see how much an impressive delay plugin can deliver so much variety of sounds.

The MegaDelayMass retails for $49 via the Intelligent Devices web site. Intelligent Devices also offers a trial version of MegaDelayMass as well as a audio samples if you wish to give MegaDelayMass a try. Once you have your copy, you might as well think about what you want to achieve 100 times through as a hundred things happening around the same time and space can either be well structured or get pleasantly out of hand.
