Ditto.

It's an analog shift register, the basis for the first sold-state (that is, no moving parts) delays.

They were actually pretty low-fidelity in audio applications: noisy and band-limited. But as with so many crappy first-generation effects those limitations came to be thought of as part of their "vintage" charm. Kind of like how we get nostalgic for Chamberlins and Echoplexes.

BBDs were better at very short delays, where they found applications in feedback loops for automatic speed adjustments in DC motor-driven devices such as industrial pumps that needed to operate at precise speeds.

I can still remember the first time I saw the first BBD in a component catalog, circa 1973, and getting very excited wondering if they might be suitable for audio effects (although the manufacturer made no such claims initially). Sure enough, companies such as Eventide Clockworks came along to exploit them - and to price them completely out of my reach.

Only 16 more to reach the next level, so it could reach the 500 mark today.

Redopter, Syntorus and Toraverb. Next up is Decimort, er, Devastor - those goofy names are hard to keep straight.

I just tried Redopter + Toraverb on Orange Tree Evolution last night and was very pleased with the result. It was a Gilmour-ish melodic lead with lots of pitch-bends and modulation to excite the reverb. Psych-o-freakin-delic!

I'd have lit a joint then and there if I'd had any it was legal.

...if they let Tonya Harding roam the area...

Lorena Bobbitt, too! I hear she lives up on Chuckanut Drive.

Man! You guys get all the hot babes!

Not sure if you'd want to have both of them in the same room with you....

Maybe Congressman Weiner will want to move there?

This is truly a fantastic deal to get such quality plugs. If it does hit the 750 mark, it'll be like getting $11 per plug....really nice!! 

Just went over 700. It'll hit 750 by this weekend, I expect.

count me in. thanks for the heads up.

I already had a slot open in a current project for the phaser plugin and had previously downloaded the dll, so within a minute of the GB hitting 750 I had the new freebie mixed into a song.

You were right, pal, that phaser ain't no ordinary phaser. I put it on a rhythm guitar track and it suddenly sounds like two guitars doing an intricate interplay. I like effects that make it sound like I worked harder at it than I really did.

Thursday morning with six days to go and the count is at 840.  Aren't all of you who spent hours agonizing over which of the plugs to pick going to feel silly after the dust settles on this?  
 
As an aside, here's a cool Toraverb trick I discovered.  Maybe you can do this with any verb and it's old hat ... but it put a smile on my face when I discovered it.  Select a middle of the road preset.  Play a chord and hold it.  Slowly increase the room size to max.  Release the chord and reduce the room size down to zero at a medium fast rate.  There must be some doppler effect happening in the calculations.  Neat!

Well, I've got less than a $1 to get me by for the next week, so I definitely won't be participating, however I have posted about this on two other forums I go to - hopefully that will help!

Just had a playaround with the demos. Looks like I am doomed to be in on this one. I have minimal Sonar 8.5 installation on my work laptop now so I can do some basic things when I am travelling, and againt all odds its running VSTis OK throught the built in sound using ASIO4ALL

The chorus and phaser did some great things to TTS 1 strings and when one of the Toraverb presets turned some chords using TTS clean guitar preset into a autoharp type sound I was hooked.

Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that 64 bit versions are in the pipeline,  I am running 64 bit and the plugs seem to work fine through Bitbridge.
