Superb analogue-style echoes

Surreal Machines are a relatively new company who started out making Ableton Live effects. Now they've branched out into AUs and VSTs, and the results are pretty excellent. 'Modnetic' is an attempt to capture the quality of old tape echo units, like the Roland Space Echo, whilst giving the user plenty of opportunities to tweak the parameters in a 21st Century way. The results are authentic and innovative at the same time, particularly as you can choose the routing of the modulation effects (chorus, flanger and phaser), their 'age', and so on. Delay times can be specified in beat divisions or Ms for maximum flexiblity, and changing these parameters 'on the fly' will result in authentic 'speeding up or slowing down' delay swirls. You're also given a wealth of convolution reverbs to choose from. The results sound so good that this CPU-light plug-in easily gives more expensive tools like Soundtoys Echoboy a run for its money.
