We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Introducing Nautilus, a stereo sub-nautical delay network. From deep oceanic trenches, to shimmering tropical reefs, Nautilus is every delay you can imagine, and some that you can’t.
A Sub-nautical Delay?
Nautilus finds inspiration in the way sound is used to communicate, measure, and map the underwater world, both by humans and its inhabitants. We’re talking the bleep bloops of the animal kingdom here.
Just as sonar detection both reveals and changes the perception of one’s surroundings, Nautilus uses its complex delay network to generate a sonic topography for you to dance through with internal effects, playback manipulations, and more. Get ready to enter a hypnotic playground full of surprises.
Delays for days.
Build ever evolving delays with Sensors and Dispersal, which controls the delay line amount and spacing between them. Create stereo ratchets, bouncy ball delays, and polyrhythmic movements with the core system of the Nautilus delay network.
Bring color to your findings with Chroma and Depth.
Spice up each layer of your delay with 6 internal effect processors, emulating varying aquatic materials and terrain that sound propagation passes through, digital interference, and more. Each Chroma mode applies to the delay lines independently, letting you layer effects on top of effects for ever evolving textures.
Lowpass Filter: 4-pole, 24db filter with subtle resonance.
Highpass Filter: 4-pole, 24db filter with subtle resonance.
Variable Bitcrusher: Random selection of lo-fi, bitcrush, and sample-reduced effects.
Saturator: Soft saturation for some extra umph in the delays.
Wavefolder: Internal wavefolder algorithm. It get’s wild.
Distortion: Internal distortion algorithm. It get’s even more wild.
Stereo Delays means Stereo Configurability
Not only are the Nautilus delays configurable in amount, space, and size, but also in how they behave in the stereo field and within the feedback path.
Normal Feedback: Matches the stereo characteristics of the input audio.
Ping Pong Feedback: Stereo characteristics are the opposite of the input audio.
Cascade Feedback: Delays feed into the next delay line in serial fashion.
Adrift: A cascading and ping pong feedback concoction. It goes places.
To Doppler, or not to Doppler? That is the question.
Nautilus carries 4 unique delay modes, which let you determine how your delays are played. Doppler, no doppler, shimmer? The choice is yours.
Fade: Seamlessly fade between delay times.
Doppler: The classic varispeed effect when changing delay frequency.
Shimmer: Pitches delays up one octave, and are fed back into the delay lines to continue pitching up each pass.
De-shimmer: Pitches delays down one octave, and are fed back into the delay lines to continue pitching down each pass.
A powerful new editor for your USB settings.
USB configurability is back, and better than ever. Dive into our new web app, Narwhal, which helps you fully customize your Nautilus, and swiftly export a file to upload onto your module via USB.
