Native Instruments has announced the release of a new flagship creative delay plugin from Brainworx. Alongside an eight-step sequencer, ducking compressor, diffusion networks, and swing controls, bx_pulsar delivers 5 distinct delay types, spanning from pristine digital delays to colorful emulations of classic hardware and otherworldly reverse echoes.
The carefully configured delay modes 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.
Beyond its interesting character modes, bx_pulsar comes equipped with creative options that make it a strong all-around delay plugin.
bx_pulsar features
- 5 unique delay types:
- Air: A clean, uncolored sound for pristine reflections and delay diffusion.
- Circuit: Inspired by vintage BBD delays and classic guitar pedals, offering authentic analog grit.
- Magnetic: The beloved sound of tape, reels, and cassettes, with rich modulation and degraded textures.
- Reverse: A smooth reverse delay with added diffusion and compression for ethereal effects.
- Aether: A surreal and original delay designed to add sparkle, radiance, and diffusion.
- 8-step sequence mode: Effortlessly craft complex rhythmic delay patterns without the time-consuming manual process.
- Ducking compressor: Auto-sidechains to the dry signal so your delays sit perfectly in the mix.
- Swing & offset controls: Add groove and subtle timing shifts for enhanced musicality.
- Freeze & clear buffer: Creative options for flexible sound design with infinite delays.
- Advanced filters: Low and high-cut filters, as well as low and high-frequency dampening for precise tonal sculpting of the delayed signal.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), bx_pulsar is on sale for the intro price of $49.99 USD until October 30th, 2025 (regular $69 USD).
The offer is available at Plugin Boutique and from the Plugin Alliance store.
