Vox Samples has released Time Turtle, a free delay plugin for Windows and Mac (64-bit only).
If you’ve somehow been struggling to find a delay, then this might be a welcome addition. Delay plugins are one thing I don’t have a shortage of by any means.
The old plugin folder is swelling with delays and reverbs, some of which often go unused for months at a time. That said, Time Turtle is a perfectly fine little delay if you don’t have other options.
Time Turtle is the latest free release from Vox Samples. It features the same cute animal on the interface and minimal control set as previous plugins.
You aren’t going to be using this to recreate something vintage like a Binson Echorec, Space Echo, or Lexicon 42. It does what it does, which is provide some delay to your material.
Control options are kept simple, with a time and feedback knob serving as the main points of focus for your audio.
Time can be tempo-synced, which is fairly standard stuff. Feedback functions as you’d expect, with more of the delays being heard the higher it goes.
You can coax it into screeching self-oscillation, but I don’t know that most folks will. Under the feedback knob, you’ll find a ping-pong switch which does what might expect.
Time Turtle features a pair of filters for further sculpting out the signal. These sound gentle to my ears, and they do their job just fine. The plugin is rounded off with a mix knob, which is pretty much a must for any modern delay plugin.
Now, if you’re like me, I don’t really see this making a huge splash. The interface is cute, but it takes a lot to steer me away from Timeless 3 or Other Desert Cities.
I could see this being a fun dalliance for users who are still stuck with their stock plugin suite. That said, you might have a better alternative to this already in your DAW.
Time Turtle is available for Windows and Mac computers per Vox Samples’ official site. You’ll need a host capable of using VST3 or AU plugins to install it. If anything, it is worth a short exploration.
