The Slate Digital Repeater is a delay plug-in that meticulously models 23 vintage and modern delay units with authentic analog sound and modern sound-shaping features
The Slate Digital Repeater is a collaboration between D16 Group Audio Software and Slate Digital—the result is the most comprehensive, realistic-sounding delay plug-in that doesn’t just model a single classic delay unit, it models ALL of them—from the ’40s right through today—23 distinctive studio legends in one plug-in. Imagine if you will, having access to the authentic sounds of a vintage Cooper Time Cube™ (that actually works), Tel-Ray Adineko™, and Lexicon PCM 42™. Or, perhaps your taste (or the current tune you’re working on) requires a more modern touch—it’s all there in the Slate Digital Repeater. Along with 23 highly adjustable delay units and the ability to store your own presets, the Repeater enables you to sculpt your stereo field with its spread control and dual delay lines with independent re-panning and dry/wet mixing. You can customize delays with hi- and low-pass filters, saturation, analog modeled feedback, plus some amazing special effects, such as authentic pitch, telephone, and vintage tape tones.

Slate Digital Repeater—decoded
The Slate Digital Repeater is dual-delay, powerhouse plug-in that features 23 unique authentically modeled delay units, ranging from classic oil cans and plates to the most famous vintage digital designs. In general, the Repeater’s processing path may be described as two independent paths; left and right channel. Each path has an independent delay line and additional (identical for each channel) processing blocks, which enrich the overall capabilities.
At first glance, Repeater appears to be your typical stereo delay effect processor with independent control of the processing path for the left and right channels. In actuality, it features independent re-panning and dry/wet mixing for each of two stereo channels, which makes it a very flexible double delay line effect. You’ll be surprised and delighted by all the capabilities this approach can offer over the typical, fixed-panned design.
Repeater modeled delays:
Cassette Tape—A model of an early 80’s Japanese cassette tape deck. You’d call this one mid-fi
Coopy Cube—An early ’70s delay originally made from a garden hose! Great for short delays to add depth, also with stereo Spread option
Digital 42—One of the most famous modern digital delays, this one has a uniquely early digital tone with a touch of graininess and a slight scoop. Great for guitars and vocals
Digital 42 x 2—The double option on the Digital 42, it halves the sample rate for an extremely unique lo-fi tone that is great on vocals, guitars, and drums
Digital Delay—A hi-resolution digital delay. Use Repeater’s filters and Color to customize the tone
DM-2—An early bucket brigade analog delay with a warm and rich tone. Amazing on guitars and synths
Mellow Delay—A smooth, subdued delay based on several vintage analog topologies
Memory Guy—Lush analog delay with fat vintage tone
Mirky Delay—Based on early bucket brigade analog delays, it is dark and thick. Great as a special effect delay or thickener when used with the Spread option
New Radio—Delay tone with FM radio style scooped hi-fi tone. Try it on vocals
Old Radio—Delay tone with AM radio-style grainy lo-fi tone
Pitchy Delays (3 models)—Delays with slight pitch modulations for extremely spatial and deep effects. Sounds great when both delay lines are set to the same time creating a chorusing mono effect. These can also be used with tight delays with Spread option for widening and thickening effects
Plexy Echo—Based on an old ’70s tape delay unit. Its fat tone sounds great on vocals, guitars, and even drums
Space Delay—Based on the famous magnetic tape delay with warm and gritty tone. A classic on guitars
Tape Delay Ancient—An extremely old 1940s-style tape delay tone
Tape Delay Classic—Early ’60s-style tape delay
Tape Delay Modern—Hi-fi tape delay with warm and lush tone
Tape Delay Vintage—’70s-style tape tone, slightly grainy but warm
Telephone 1—Lo-fi telephone tone, great for special effects or as an insert on vocal or even full mix
Telephone 2—Another lo-fi telephone tone with slightly different frequency and distortion tone
TelRay—The analog delay classic made original from a tuna can. Beautifully lo-fi with a rich tone that’s perfect for guitars
