Artists in DSP has released Euclyd, a multitap delay plugin for macOS and Windows that takes a unique approach to rhythmic echo effects. BPB readers get a 50% off discount with the coupon code EUCLYDBPB50.
Instead of thinking in terms of simple repeats, Euclyd is built around Euclidean rhythm, turning delay taps into evenly distributed rhythmic events across a defined period.
Sounds like fun, and it definitely is, especially if you have too many basic delay plugins and want to experiment with something different.
Euclyd lets you divide time into up to 32 steps and then choose how many taps are spread across that cycle. The algorithm places those taps as evenly as possible, creating patterns that feel musical and are often surprisingly organic.
The idea of using Euclidean rhythms in a delay might sound a bit too mathematical, but it becomes super intuitive once you start dragging the parameters and hearing the output.
What I like most about Euclyd is how it shifts the rhythm from tempo-locked grids to something more fluid. Small changes to Steps, Taps, or the overall time length can completely transform a pattern and in ways I would probably never achieve by manually editing the rhythm in the sequencer.
You can keep things tight and precise for rhythmic delays, or push it to feel like sequenced modulation rather than a traditional delay.
Also, the delays generated by Euclyd never feel static. Swing introduces groove by offsetting taps, while Feedback and Decay let you control how patterns behave over time.
It’s easy to dial in a bit of subtle motion (which sounds great on short percussive stuff), but you can also push this into more complex feedback structures if you want the delay to become a musical element rather than a background effect.
Tone shaping is another strong point. The Low Cut and High Cut controls are split into Start and End values, meaning the first tap can sound completely different from the last. Add Diffusion into the mix, and those crisp echoes can blur into soft, spatial clouds.
This makes Euclyd just as useful for sound design and ambient work as it is for drums or synth arps.
There’s also a preset manager with save, recall, and randomize options. Randomization is a pretty neat way to stumble into patterns you might not have programmed deliberately.
Euclyd normally costs $49.90, but BPB readers can get 50% off using the code EUCLYDBPB50, bringing the price down significantly.
Euclyd is available as a VST3 plugin for Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and as AU and VST3 for macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later. A free demo is available, with audio muting every 30 seconds.
