Morbid Electronics – MANTRA v1.2.0 VST3 x64

MANTRA’s GUI features a seated man whose soul disappears as the plugin switches between mono and stereo modes. Naturally, MANTRA’s window seamlessly expands and contracts to tell this story of the transition from detachment to reconnection with the body, providing a unique visual representation of its control.

Audio delay

as we know it today has its roots in Les Paul’s pioneering work with multitrack recording in the 1940s and 1950s. Initially, the effect was achieved by connecting two tape recorders at variable speeds, creating a rhythmic delay between the audio signals.

This technique, popularized in the 1960s and 1970s, created repeating rhythmic delay tones. Artists such as Brian Eno, King Tubby, and The Beatles played a significant role in pushing the boundaries of delay effects in their genre-defining albums, cementing delay as a staple in studios around the world.

Simply put, delay is an indispensable tool for enhancing the depth, texture, and groove of recorded music. In essence, the evolution of delay mirrors the evolution of music itself, and its absence would undoubtedly leave a void in the sonic landscape of modern music.
