DelayU-42 v1.6: Free Vintage Delay Updated by MKS Mixing
MKS Mixing has released version 1.6 of DelayU-42, a free vintage 42-inspired delay effect plugin for Windows and macOS. The update reworks the delay and filtering signal path to more closely match the character of the original hardware unit, while retaining the plugin's manual and tempo-synced timing, input saturation, dual opto limiting, and extended feedback range.
What's New in DelayU-42 v1.6
The core improvement targets the delay/filtering architecture. MKS Mixing states the reworked path now sounds closer to the hardware reference than previous versions. Existing features remain intact:
- Manual delay time or host tempo sync
- Input saturation stage for harmonic color
- Dual opto limiters for dynamic control
- Feedback that spans clean repeats to long, dirty trails
- VST3, AU, and CLAP formats (64-bit)
- Standalone version included
Who Should Download
DelayU-42 suits producers wanting a character delay with analog-style grit without paying for commercial vintage emulations. The v1.6 update is a drop-in replacement for existing users — no preset migration needed. New users get a capable creative delay at zero cost.
