Sinevibes’ unmistakable, BBD-inspired Integer delay is available today across a variety of KORG hardware devices. That means the prologue, minilogue xd, and even the pocket NTS-1 (original and mkII) and NTS-3. It’s a must-have pocket delay or synth add-on.
Integer is one of my all-time favorites by Sinevibes. It’s analog BBD-inspired, but it’s also not like any particular device. Think of it as a model of a delay that never existed but should have. Let’s let Artemiy explain:
It’s built using variable sample rate technology: just like analog “bucket bridge device” chips, the algorithm uses a small fixed buffer and produces different delay times by varying the speed of its internal read/write clock. Thus, as the clock speed changes, it also affects the sampling resolution, degrading the sound quality as the delay time is increased. Integer features a sophisticated feedback system with amplification, low-pass and high-pass filters, plus a limiter that lets the signal loop endlessly without distortion. Thanks to its elastic, tape-like behavior, the pitch glides during delay time changes do not affect what’s in the loop, creating those classic “dub delay” effects.
The plug-in is essential, so you should still pick that up if you haven’t – but it’ll be great to run it on KORG hardware, too. In action:
