Malekko Heavy Industry - Gate Delay

Published on Oct 23, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's the fantastic Gate Delay from the lovely people at Malekko Heavy Industry. This is a totally awesome and exciting module that I imagine many looked at and thought it wasn't for them as a more utilitarian piece of kit. But it can be incredibly musical. With options for input normalising or normalising of outputs to create rhythmic musical canon effects with your gates and options for tying gate delay times to the clock or going unquantized it really is ace and incredibly fast to get things moving in interesting ways. It's a lovely pairing for the Varigate and/or Voltage Block but of course works entirely independent as seen here.
