Plugin Alliance Brainworx bx_pulsar v1.0.1 MacOSX

bx_pulsar is Brainworx's new flagship creative delay plugin, a versatile creative powerhouse with the immediacy and sonic quality of a go-to processing plugin. Five core delay modes put a galaxy of delay style and color options right at your fingertips, while a flexible 8-step delay sequencer, multiple stereo modes, built-in sidechain ducking, freeze and groove controls provide the ideal toolset for producers and musicians wanting to explore the outer reaches of modern delay.

Five powerful Delay Mode algorithms. Multiple character Types. A single intuitive interface

At the heart of bx_pulsar are five carefully configured Delay Modes. These span the history of delay types and tones, from early tape and increasingly grimy analog hardware classics, through clean and beautifully diffuse modern digital styles, all the way to crystalline granular textures and otherworldly reverse effects:

Air – Transparent digital delay with the option for beautiful diffusion and modulation
Magnetic – Tape-style delays with sub-modes: Reel, Space, Cassette, Dusty
Circuit – Inspired by classic BBD delays with sub-modes: Studio, Vintage, Pedal, Modded
Aether – Experimental textures with pitch shifting and grain processing
Reverse – Reversed signal with subtle compression for smoothing transients

Work at the speed and depth of your ideas
bx_pulsar's tonal palette makes it incredibly quick and inspiring to find and dial in your core sound, with fresh ideas never more than a couple of clicks away. This is aided by a carefully chosen set of controls, all wrapped in a completely modern UI that supports intuitive tweaking and pure sonic exploration without clogging up your workflow and slowing you down.

Modern delay sequencing with ease
Unlike multitap delays that require complex setup, the innovative Sequencer section in bx_pulsar gets you to a great result fast - whether you're shaping space around a vocal, building rhythmic FX, or creating analog-style feedback loops. With per-step panning across up to eight sequencer steps, plus one-shot and looping playback modes, transform static sounds into rippling rhythmic structures and fashion completely unique delay patterns from scratch.

Delay features that echo your musicality
Dual Mode provides Ping Pong and Criss Cross stereo routing options, with controls for custom time ratios and presets for instant polyrhythmic and psuedo-random repeat patterns. Add further powerful tools like test tone previewing, swing control, the capability for real-time parameter modulation, and the ambience-making Freeze button, and bx_pulsar is more than a delay - it's a playable creative instrument.

The perfect pairing
The delays from bx_pulsar are the perfect complement to the bx_aura reverb - similarly built for speed, creativity, and sonic depth.

→ FEATURES:
Five powerful Delay Mode algorithms: Choose from delay colors past, present, and futuristic, each with algorithm-specific parameters including Diffusion, Sparkle and Modulation amount.
Eight further character Sub-Type options: Within the Magnetic and Circuit modes, further fine-tune tone and behavior via a selection of progressively more textured, noisy and characterful sub-types, from studio-grade reel-to-reel tape machines to dusty cassette tapes, through classic echo boxes, early rack units, and crunchy guitar delay pedals.
Multiple delay line configurations:
Dual Mode provides stereo routing with Ping Pong and Criss Cross options, plus custom delay time ratios – including presets for Golden Ratio, Plastic and Semitone ratios, perfect for easily setting up polyrhythmic or “random-pattern” repeats.
Sequence Mode offers a flexible 8-step delay sequencer with per-step panning, one-shot/loop options, and step-based timing.

Additional Features:
Test Tone generates short noise bursts for real-time preview
Ducking Compressor (Post, Feedback or both) with sidechain
Swing and Global Offset for finetuning the groove
L/R Time Offset
Advanced Filtering: High/Low cut and frequency damping
Freeze, Wet Gain, and full GUI animation

Supported Operation System:
macOS 12.0 or later
Apple Silicon or Intel Core processor
