BLEASS Delay

The “v” - especially uncapitalized, but even if it were upped - serves no good purpose and in some cases serves bad purposes. I wish people would just stop with the useless letter in this abbreviation. The “3” refers very clearly to the iteration. That’s a software convention for many years. Anyway, I am just grouchy about language these days, in all sorts of ways. Oh, there was a plug thing to grunt about, from BLEATS. Now there’s a fine, admirable name. BLEATS has developed several fine apps, all released in the last six months, give or take a couple. A grrhoofe-box app, a reverb, a new kickpression mashup, and this delay. They all appear to be worth considering, even with many options available in each category. The rhythm/performance tool does a good job of stitching clip launching and chording into an app in a way that not much else in IOS (¡OS) does. The reverb has its ducking, the kick thing is a sidechain machine, and the delay has, uh - well, a delay, filtering and dirt, and pitch change. That is to say the delay is the app with the most overlap with existing options of any of the BLEATS to date. All these BLEATS seem to want to accommodate interesting or unusual feature combinations, but they prioritize immediacy to facilitate live performance. Their way of going about this distinguishes them, for better or worse depending on your preferences. In the case of the delay, the feature combination is not so unusual. That said, it does well deliver on the BLEATS immediacy priority, allowing users quickly to find bliss with each option. Of particular note, on the feature front, users have the ability push the delay itself beyond normal bounds. There are many good delays on this platform. Thanks to our goat-men friends at BLEATS, we can welcome another. Sing on, goats!

This is a really unique delay that is capable of making everything from beautiful ambient soundscapes all the way to bizarre FX. I really love being able to modulate the delay time, especially when it’s not synced; it produces nice pitch shifting tape delay sounds. I also really like the fact that there is both a low pass and high pass filter. I haven’t been using the pitch shifter function a whole lot, but it’s useful for creating sound FX. All in all, a great app that adds unique sounds and functionality to your iOS FX toolbox. I definitely recommend it!

An effect app that does a lot more than just delay in one screen with nice easy to use controls. It’s nice that you can save your presets in the app and use them in any of your AUv3 host apps. Capable of a wide range of effects which can be easily dialed in to suit your taste.
