DelSane Black Friday pricing drops Rob Papen's delay effects plugin to $24.50, 30% off, with the deal running until Nov 13, 2026.
DelSane is a stereo tape delay with a second, more unhinged side. The maker describes it as the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of delay plugins.
The "sane" half is a smooth tape delay that works as a stereo or mono delay on regular mix duties. It also doubles as a creative effect when you push it harder.
Everything sits on one screen, and the GUI scales to 100%, 125%, 150% or 200%.
The main features are:
The Sphere-Slider can be linked to several delay parameters at once, so one move changes multiple settings together. Release it and it can drift back to the centre in time with the tempo, which Rob Papen calls the Spring feature.
Lazy Mode automates the Sphere-Slider's movement in different directions. The maker says this opens the door to flanger and chorus type sounds and other new modulation effects.
The Audio Follower can steer various delay parameters, including the Sphere-Slider's Disrupt parameter itself. The MIDI & MOD section does the same job from MIDI and modulation sources.
On Windows 7, 8 and 10, in 32 and 64-bit, DelSane comes as VST 2 and VST 3. The AAX version needs 64-bit and Pro Tools 12 or higher.
On Mac OS X 10.12 to 11 (Big Sur), 64-bit only, it comes as AU, VST 2, VST 3 and AAX.
Activation is offline, so the plugin never talks to the robpapen.com homepage. You can install it on 2 of your own computers.
