Brainworx bx_pulsar: Flagship Creative Delay Plugin


Brainworx has released the bx_pulsar Delay, its new flagship delay plugin designed to blend creative flexibility with intuitive control for producers, musicians, and sound designers.

Delay Modes & Character

Five core delay algorithms each bring distinct personality:

  • Air – Clean, diffuse digital delay with optional modulation
  • Circuit – Vintage-style BBD grit (sub‑types: Studio, Vintage, Pedal, Modded)
  • Magnetic – Rich tape emulation (Reel, Cassette, Dusty, Space)
  • Reverse – Smooth reverse echoes with diffusion and compression
  • Aether – Experimental, shimmering textures with pitch and grain processing

Control & Workflow

  • 8-step sequencer with per-step panning, swing, and one-shot/loop modes for rhythmic delays
  • Auto-ducking compressor keeps delay repeats in check, side-chained to the dry signal
  • Freeze and Clear Buffer functions enable evolving textures and infinite delay loops
  • Dual Mode routing: ping-pong and criss-cross stereo options, plus programmable time ratio presets
  • Fine tonal shaping with low/high cut filters and dampening controls

Compatibility & Pricing

  • Available in AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3 on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Windows
  • Regular price: $69 USD
  • Intro price: $50 USD (through October 30, 2025), and crossgrades available from other Brainworx plugins at $39.99 USD

Why It Matters

bx_pulsar positions itself not as a routine delay but as a creative instrument. With hybrid delay types, sequencer-based editing, groove control, and texture-based modes like Freeze, it’s ideal for modern sound design and production workflows seeking both clarity and atmosphere.
