Other Desert Cities

Other Desert Cities

Other Desert Cities is a powerful and highly creative delay and modulation workshop. It includes six unique algorithms, each with their own personality and capabilities. With extensive modulation options and the ability to control nearly every aspect of the signal chain’s gain structure, Other Desert Cities can fill multiple niches, from basic stereo dual delays to never-before-heard granular pitch-shifting chaos. Some of the notable algorithms include:

• Sky Valley Granular Delay – a pitch-shifting granular delay with control over grain size and scatter, and with EQ
• Cactus Dual-Delta Delay – a standard dual delay with basic EQ, saturation, crossfeed, and spread
• Desert Shores Stereo Delay – a dual multi-tap delay with spread, crossfeed, and basic EQ
• Thermal Multi-Tap Delay – a pitch-shifting granular delay with control over grain size and scatter, and with EQ
• Mirage Multi-Head Delay – a normal dual delay, except the repeats play backward
• Mecca Reverse Delay – a pitch-shifting granular delay with control over grain size and scatter, and with EQ

Other Desert Cities also includes a diffusor for “smearing” the feedback path, and bringing it near the realm of reverb (especially with the Thermal multi-tap algorithm). It is compatible with Windows 8.1 or newer, macOS 10.12 or newer, and Ubuntu 18 or newer, and works with VST, VST3, AAX, and AU in 64-bit only. It has a hi-dpi/retina capable resizable user interface and a cross-platform XML-based preset manager. A fully operational demo version (that times out after 20 minutes) is available for testing.
