Using IOS as my new “Studio” for demo recording, Kajita is a MUST!
If you stop and think “how those OLD recordings” pre-digital age was able to get delay, or the old style delays or (ANALOG) delay you would find that the ONLY way to do this was with ‘a tape deck with more then one play head, with these play heads being placed at different positions in sequence (heads being the way the sound was transformed from tape to the output or speakers) you would have the initial sound being played from the 1st position head, and where ever you wanted a delay you could place a tape head, or heads, by taking down or lowering the db on each head, you could make perfect delays very easy. This app just BLOWS ANYTHING in the AUV3 world in the water! But I will say It would be so cool to have this app, with its amazing features, set up in a ‘Analog’ view (Tape heads in animated simple outline) nothing complex but drawn clean lines of tape heads and tape flow (or sound flow) with features that empowers the user to move the multiple heads in real time to the sound!! I think if any developer could pull it off properly, it would be IceWorks, Inc. (I did see another Dev actually try, but the gui is clunky with jpegs of actual components (which is distracting) But with clean line animations! Wow! A lot of us “Old Timers” (cracks me up that I’m actually considered an old timer when referring to studio engineering and production) I guess anyone who used 24 track ‘Tape’ in a studio and then dropping that recording into AVID (now ProTools) then pulling those files onto a ZIP Dat tape to do mix downs, would be an OLD TIMER! I will say although cumbersome, the warmth from recording and mixing down in that way, cannot be replicated. I know there are many ‘tape’ emulators, but when actually looking into the algorithm you realize, like most emulation, it’s all done though frequency which is basically just sweeping through highs-midi-lows YES basically using an EQ or a 24 band equalizer which is basically what the guys are using when making filter software!
United StatesExcellent addition to my go-to toolbox!
This is one Very flexible multi-tap delay! I use it a lot, and it’s very efficient. The only thing I think would make it better is if the upper portion was a bit less intimidating. The lower portion is perfect and very straightforward to use. I think a “simple mode” for the upper portion where you just have the mix knobs without duplicating functionality. But I guess it makes sense if you run the plugin in half-screen mode, personally, I always use full screen mode so for me would be easier to just have minimal functionality for the upper portion of the app. All in all, definitely recommend it, haven’t seen anything else in this category of flexibility.
United StatesMy Secret Stuff
I look at the layout and just laugh. There’s no way I’m gonna understand it. But what I love doing is filling up the screen with it and telling folks I’m working on my own nuclear reactor

I thought it would be difficult/slow to use, but it’s actually very straightforward and quick. The diagram shows how the signal is traveling from left to right. Best way to get into this plugin is by rolling down all the Mix knobs and then introduce them one by one kind of like layers. You don’t need to use all the taps nor all the functions for each preset you make, it’s got many options and you can use as many or few as you like to get a preferred result. I start small and add more as I go. The ability to dial in each piece as needed is really awesome, and means you can get many different results tailored to the taste. I find this delay is very usable when used subtly as well as more heavily. I’ve used it on drums, and synths and even bass (who uses delay on bass right? lol but I used it subtly and it made the bass “bigger” almost like a type of chorus). With instruments/synths it can add a very pleasant characteristic of spacious fluidity, without even using reverb. I initially tested it with reverb off, but then started dialing it in too, and it’s really great as well. In particular, because you can send things selectively to the reverb and in just right amounts. Which is completely different from all other delay plugins with built-in reverb, as they just slap a reverb at the end of the chain. Lastly, I’ve watched some videos where it’s kind of implied that Kajita is more on “experimental” side. Usually when I hear that I assume it means that an app is chaotic by nature and you have to try hard to tame it. I didn’t find this at all here. There’s a lot of room for experimenting - definitely, but majority of results I got were very usable. And tweaking them to be perfect takes much less time than I assumed initially. Much easier, for example, to use than Timeless 3 (which I also like, though tend to use less frequently because it takes me longer to get what I want). Timeless is also completely different type of delay so can’t compare them directly. So in summary, Kajita is really fun to use to quickly make simpler melodies sound much more interesting. Haven’t tried it on guitars yet, pretty sure it’s gonna be just as awesome. Highly recommend it!
United Statesgood delay
it’s good, I don’t understand it but I need to learn it, this delay has more knobs than many synthesizers, one thing that is extremely good is the wet and dry parameters of the final output there is two knobs one you can control how much of the effect you want and the other you can control how much of the original source you want very interesting to have these two separate, it seems like for this delay it’s meant to spend a lot of time on tweaking the perfect sound because there are so much parameters to alter, this freedom is good, the actual sound of the delay effect is overall good it’s not cheaply designed definitely not
United StatesWorth your time and money - 5 stars
Super solid multi tap delay creative routing madness. Plus reverb, either/or or both. You can also tame this way down and get a basic delay (or reverb I suppose) but what’s the fun in that? Only one question/request: is there anyway to lock the dry/wet mix when changing from one preset/save to the next? I’m finding I like the presets quite a lot as a starting point but often with more or less wet dry. Would be cool to be able to lock this. Amazing plugin, my favorite Fx plugin to come out in past 90 days at least - possibly my favorite all year.
