DLYM Flanger & Chorus
DLYM Flanger
DLYM is a chorus and flanger effect designed around the character of the classic DRC synth chorus, reworked with modern DSP and workflow expectations in mind.
Rather than chasing exaggerated modulation for its own sake, DLYM focuses on controlled movement, stereo depth, and tonal balance.
It’s equally comfortable adding barely-there width to a vocal as it is pushing synths, guitars, or FX into wide, animated territory.
System Requirements:
- 32-bit
- 64-bit
- VST 3 / AU
- Windows
- MacOs
Classic Inspiration, Modern Execution
At a technical level, DLYM gives producers two distinct processing modes.
The Analog Emulation mode leans into smooth, organic modulation with natural phase interaction, while the Dimension-style mode delivers a wider, more spatial response inspired by classic studio chorus units.
This duality makes DLYM flexible enough for mixing duties and creative sound design without ever feeling overcomplicated.
Designed for Speed and Precision
The interface reflects a clear design philosophy: fewer distractions, better decisions. Large, high-resolution knobs make fine adjustments easy, which matters when dialing modulation depth or rate by ear rather than by numbers.
Stereo spread, waveform selection, and frequency focus are all immediately accessible, keeping the plugin fast to work with even under tight deadlines.
A factory bank of 40 presets covers subtle widening, rhythmic modulation, classic chorus tones, and more extreme flanger textures. These presets are practical starting points rather than gimmicks, and they showcase how restrained modulation often delivers the most musical results in a mix.
Workflow & Sound Design Use
DLYM is particularly effective when modulation needs to stay intentional. The crossover allows you to keep low-end content stable while adding movement to mids and highs, which is crucial on basses, drum buses, and full synth stacks.
Tempo sync makes it easy to lock modulation to groove-based material, while free-running modes excel on pads, textures, and transitions.
Automation is another strong point. The smooth parameter response avoids stepping or zipper noise, making DLYM reliable for evolving effects, builds, and breakdowns.
Whether used as a static insert or an actively modulated effect, it integrates cleanly into modern DAW workflows.

FAQ
DLYM works well on buses and individual tracks where stereo width and movement are needed without compromising mono compatibility, especially when using the crossover to protect low frequencies.
Analog Emulation prioritizes smooth phase movement and subtle coloration, while Dimension-style mode produces a wider, more spacious modulation with a stronger stereo image.
For most use cases, yes. Its modulation engine covers traditional chorus, flanger, and hybrid territory with enough control to tailor each effect precisely.
Absolutely. Tempo-synced waveforms and Sample & Hold modes make it effective for pulsing, gated, and pattern-based modulation tied directly to project tempo.
