Liquid Sky Zen Delay Zen Delay Virtual, ZDV for short, is a digital evolution of the popular Ninja Tune Zen Delay hardware effect made by Erica Synths. Inspired by a trip to Berlin's trailblazing music hardware trade show, Superbooth, Coldcut's Matt Black and longtime friend Dr. Walker (Liquid Sky artist collective/Air Liquide) envisaged the exciting possibility of a custom hardware effects unit. The result was the creation of the original Zen Delay - the first-ever hardware effects unit produced in collaboration with an electronic music label. Like its hardware progenitor, ZDV is a BPM-synced stereo delay line combining extreme feedback ranges for dub and experimental effects paired with a multi-mode 24dB/octave filter and overdrive. Crafted in close collaboration with electronic music producers, ZDV is designed with studio use in mind, and is suitable for many different situations, musical styles, and instruments. ZDV can add a unique, warm, and powerful sonic character to drums, loops, vocals, synths, samples, or virtually any other type of audio. Even full tracks or a stereo mix can be enhanced with the Zen Delay Virtual, breathing new life into productions, giving synth and drum parts a huge kick. ZDV can be used as a plug-in in nearly all digital audio workstations and also works as a standalone app. Features 5 Stereo Delay algorithms: Tape, Digital, Tape Ping-Pong, Digital Ping-Pong, and Vintage Maximum delay time up to 5000ms LP/BP/HP stereo filter Delay bypass for use of the stereo filter alone Simulated tube overdrive Can synchronize to host tempo when used as a plug-in, or can synchronize to incoming MIDI Clock when used as a standalone app Special LFO modulation options not available on the Zen Delay hardware Library of presets created by producers and DJs Compatible with VST2, VST3, and AU (macOS-only) hosts Tech Specs Mac: Windows:
