About Caverns

Caverns is a stereo delay in the spirit of bucket-brigade analog delay lines: dark, a little unstable, and better for it. Set the left and right times independently or link them, or lock both to your tempo with Sync.

Degrade adds bucket-brigade-style wear to the repeats, and the modulation section adds pitch wobble and lo-fi movement. Low Cut and High Cut shape the repeats so they sit behind the dry signal.

Features

  • Independent left and right delay times, or Linked mode.
  • Tempo sync with a division menu for each side.
  • Degrade for bucket-brigade-style wear and lo-fi character.
  • Modulation for pitch wobble, with separate speed and depth.
  • Low Cut and High Cut filters on the repeats.
  • Eight factory presets.
