About this block
Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine is designed to create huge, immersive spaces by combining delay, reverb, pitch shifting and feedback into one expressive ambient effect.
From subtle shimmering echoes to expansive, evolving soundscapes, Shimmer Delay transforms your signal into rich layers of reflections and harmonics that can sit behind your playing or become an instrument of their own.
The integrated Auto Swell section creates smooth, bowed-style volume crescendos, making it easy to produce atmospheric pads and flowing textures directly from your instrument.
Designed for real-time interaction, its controls respond smoothly while tweaking or automating parameters, allowing you to reshape the effect while you play without unwanted clicks or interruptions.
Perfect for guitars, keyboards, synths and experimental sound design, Shimmer Delay is a creative machine for everything from spacious ambience to massive otherworldly textures.
