u-He Colour Copy Modern Bucket Brigade Delay Device.
Introducing Colour Copy, the innovative delay effect that captures the warmth and character of classic bucket-brigade delays (BBD) with a vibrant twist.
Born from a Legacy
Colour Copy started as the "Lyrebird" delay unit in our Repro-1 synth, but its exceptional sound demanded its own spotlight. Inspired by BBD delays, Colour Copy goes beyond simple emulation, offering a wider sonic palette and unparalleled flexibility.
Smooth, Effortless Modulation
Unlike typical digital delays that glitch when modulating delay time, Colour Copy operates like a true BBD. It changes the internal sample rate, resulting in incredibly smooth and musical modulation, even with extreme sweeps.
Capture the Full Spectrum of BBD Colors
A single knob lets you seamlessly blend between five meticulously crafted "color" presets. Each offers rich detail beyond simple frequency changes, including:
- Unique noise and dynamic characteristics
- Adjustable saturation for subtle or pronounced color effects
- Brightness control to tailor the bandwidth
Unleash Your Delay Creativity
Colour Copy offers a vast array of delay effects:
-
Craft comb-filter, flange/chorus sounds, and classic ping-pong delays.
- Explore extended "looper" effects with delay times up to several seconds.
-
Mix, swap, or invert input and feedback signals for creative phase cancellation.
- Independently position left and right outputs for unique stereo effects.
Bring Your Delays to Life
The built-in stereo LFO lets you modulate delay rate, tap positions, or amplitude for chorus, vibrato, and tremolo effects. Crank it up for deep pitch-shifting possibilities. An envelope follower adds dynamic control based on your input signal.
Ducking with a Difference
Colour Copy's ducking compressor lets you control the level of both the entire delay output or just the feedback signal. This preserves the overall stereo space while preventing sonic overload.
Performance Power
- Freeze the delay buffer for extended sonic textures.
-
Play Colour Copy like a mono synth with MIDI key control – each octave doubles the delay rate.
Features:
- BBD-style analog delay, for the smoothest possible pitch effects
- Unique colour morphing, with saturation for non-linear effects such as distortion / resonance
- 1ms to 1s or host-synched time base, scaled via rate control from 25% to 400%
- Dynamic ducking via envelope follower
- LFO (with dynamic frequency and depth) can modulate rate, tap position or amplitude.
- MIDI note tracking and Freeze button (infinite loop) for wildest experimental effects
- Powerful preset browser with tag and/or text search functions
- Independent input and feedback routing options allow all possible stereo or mono combinations
- 100 factory presets, NKS-compatible
- UI instantly resizable from 70% to 200%
