D16 Group Echolite: A Stunning Free Delay Plugin
D16 Group gives away Echolite, a free stereo delay plugin with pre-delay, multimode filter, and lockable wet/dry control. Download now.
Polish audio software developer D16 Group is celebrating an incredible milestone: their 20th anniversary! To mark the occasion and thank the music production community, they are generously giving away Echolite, a fantastic new delay plugin, absolutely free.
We at the studio have used D16 plugins for over 18 years, with consistently great results. They are incredibly solid, reliable, and simply sound brilliant. Echolite continues this tradition, delivering that signature D16 magic in a package designed for both modern and classic echo sounds, perfect for any musical style.
Most DAWs include a stock delay, but it rarely matches the depth and character of D16 Group's renowned algorithms. Echolite offers a significant step up, delivering premium sound quality at no cost.
Simple, Fast, and Incredibly Flexible
Echolite is a no-nonsense, intuitive tool with no learning curve. Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting your production journey, a high-quality delay is essential, and Echolite fits any scenario—channel insert or FX send.
The control set is beautifully straightforward. One standout feature is the lockable wet/dry control. This ingenious addition means you can lock your perfect blend, then seamlessly flip through presets without losing that hard-earned balance.
Echolite centers on a prominent delay time knob, offering a versatile range from a tight 0.1 ms to 400 ms. This gives you everything from classic slap-back and doubling effects to long, evolving atmospheric delays.
Powerful Sound-Shaping Features
To keep your mix clean and uncluttered, Echolite includes a dedicated pre-delay function, giving the processed signal room to breathe. For rhythmic precision, you can sync the time grid to dotted, triplet, or whole notes, turning your delays into an integral part of the groove.
A stereo spread control also lets you precisely position the delay within the stereo field. However, perhaps the most exciting sound-shaping tool is the multimode filter, which includes high pass, band pass, and band reject options. This filter is perfect for crafting authentic, vintage tape echo vibes by rolling off high frequencies, or for creating dynamic, sweeping transitions by automating the filter open and closed during drops.
