Soundtoys have a real knack for expertly recreating the sounds and features of classic gear. They're aware of how interesting and unique these types of old-school effects are, and they know that they had certain tones, feels, and features that are lacking in many digital plug-ins. The PrimalTap is another example of an expert recreation, this time of the Lexicon Prime Time Model 93 digital delay processor. This was one of the first digital delay units, and it had a lot of unique properties that were game-changing at the time, and even now remain interesting and very useful. You can create complicated, dense repeating patterns and soundscapes that span octaves, have various bit-rates, and also have other types of modulations.
Multiply
First, let's go over the basics. This unit is essentially a dual digital delay, so you have two separate signals. There are knobs for delay time for each, which can be controlled in seconds or beats. There's also a cool mix interface where you can control the volume of each signal, separately or in combination. A similar panel exists for feedback. Setting delays like this can be great for stereo, ping-pong, and other types of interesting delay interactions, and are really useful for that purpose. They also impart a really cool tone that recalls the Prime Time delay, which is actually pretty different from a lot of Soundtoys' other saturation types.
But here's where things get interesting. There are a few reasons that this is unlike other delay plug-ins, and the first two of those are the modulation section and the "multiply" section. The modulation controls allow you to set rate, depth, and adjustment levels for the modulation, allowing for chorus, phaser, and flanger-type effects to occur while your delay is accumulating. The multiply section recreates the original Prime Time's section, which extended delay times dramatically. However, one of the "downsides" was that the original delay was short on processing power, and needed to halve the bit-rate every time the delay was extended (up to 8x). This feature is retained here, meaning that adjusting this knob while your signal plays can result in some distorted, bit-crushing signals. While on the surface this might seem like an unwanted limitation, the unique way it impacts the tone of the delay is really cool in the right context. A delay that continually softens the tone is often very useful in a mix, and this feature makes this plug-in far more unique than many other digital delays. One of the cooler, and more fun applications of the plug-in is actually switching the multiplier setting in real time. This lets your delay span different octaves, and when you have dual delays going at different speeds while doing this, setting the feedback to a high level means that you'll get a self-oscillating signal. Just allowing these signals to play out and grow allows for some dense, orchestral-sounding music to occur virtually out of thin air.
Freeze
The other cool use of this plug-in occurs with the "freeze" feature, where the input signal gets "frozen" in time. This is otherwise known and sample-and-hold and allows your delay signal to sample a specific section of your track, and indefinitely repeat just that section. This is a much different technique that is typical, as you would usually have your entire signal repeat. This helps isolate some of the cooler parts of your tracks, and allows you to build a loop really easily. Overall, there's a lot of great stuff contained in this plug-in, and it's definitely a great find if you want to explore the possibilities that vintage digital delay offers.
Main Features:
Digital Delay plug-in based upon the vintage Prime Time Echo, an unusual digital delay unit from the 1970s manufactured by Lexicon
Dual Delay with two independent taps, which can be linked via link switch
Multiply knob allows for longer delay times while lowering bit depth, creating interesting pitch jumps and self-oscillations
VCO section includes modulation parameter adjustments, allowing for chorus, reverb, and flanger-like effects
"Freeze" control allows for sample-and-hold effect, looping a particular audio section and repeating it, slowly modulating it over time
59 factory presets include chorus, delay, vibrato, pitch and reverb effects
Controls:
Two separate delay channels with time (beats or time-based) controls for each
MIDI Sync option lets you time the delay to the tempo of your song
Feedback slider interface with one slider per delay channel, and additional input gain fader
Several Different Delay algorithms including ping-pong, criss-cross, classic, parallel and series operation; allows for cross-feedback and other cool effects
Output gain faders for delay effect, as well as a dry/wet mix fader
High and Low Cut controls allow for filtering out unwanted frequencies
Modulation controls include rate, depth, and "adjust" which allow for tonal modulations, resulting in chorus, flanger, and reverb-type effects
Multiply control extends delay time (up to 8x) while decreasing bit-rate
Tweak Menu Controls include:
Algorithm; six different settings include "Classic" (original hardware replication with cross-feedback), "Parallel" (independent delay lines), "Reverb" (prevents runaway feedback), "Series" (Delay A feeds into Delay B), "Criss-Cross" (each delay line feeds into the other), and "Ping-Pong" (delay from A feeds into B and back again)
Rolloff - Lets low and high cut affect entire signal or feedback only
VCO shape lets you choose oscillator wave shape - sine, square, triangle, and ramp wave shapes
Depth control determines intensity of modulation
Output pan controls panning for each delay line
