A playable source before the echoes.
Sine, saw, square, and triangle oscillators feed volume, cutoff, attack, decay, sustain, release, and tune controls.
About
Zylodelay is a delay instrument, not just a delay insert. Choose an oscillator, shape it with a compact synth section, then push it through tape-inspired delay modes, feedback, filters, drive, and drift from one fast performance panel.

Core Instrument
Time, feedback, filters, and movement.
Delay time, wet amount, feedback, low-pass cut, high-pass cut, drive, and drift put the whole echo path under your fingers.
Five delay behaviors.
Normal, BackForth, Reverse, PingPong, and MultiTap modes let the same patch become tight, wide, rhythmic, or unstable.
Fast starts, weird destinations.
Preset browsing lives in the top bar, making it easy to jump from classic tape delay synth tones to more experimental echoes.
Tape Delay Synth
Play the delay like an instrument.
The on-screen keyboard turns Zylodelay into a self-contained idea machine. Trigger notes, choose the oscillator shape, and sculpt the synth envelope before the signal ever reaches the delay network.
It is built for sketching rhythmic hooks, washed-out stabs, and unstable tape-style textures without opening a DAW track first. The delay modes turn simple notes into movement: tight repeats, ping-pong patterns, reverse swells, or dense multitap echoes that can be pushed with drive and drift.
- Oscillator selector with sine, saw, square, and triangle shapes
- Volume, cutoff, attack, decay, sustain, release, and tune controls
- Computer keyboard note mapping printed directly above the keys
- Normal, BackForth, Reverse, PingPong, and MultiTap delay modes for different rhythmic feels
- Feedback, low-pass, high-pass, wet, drive, and drift controls for shaping the repeats into texture
