Description

Other Desert Cities, named after a famous sign on the I-10 highway leaving Los Angeles, is a workshop for creativity. As its namesake implies, there are many strange and wonderful things lurking inside. With six algorithms, each with its own unique personality, and extensive modulation capabilities, Other Desert Cities can fill multiple niches, from basic stereo dual delays to never-before-heard granular pitch-shifting chaos.
Algorithms
Desert Shores Stereo Delay. This is a standard dual delay, with basic EQ, saturation, crossfeed, and spread.
Mecca Reverse Delay. A normal dual delay, except the repeats play backwards.

Cactus Dual-Delta Delay. This is more like a pair of tape delays in use, with individual speed controls and pitch quantizing.
Thermal Mullti-Tap Delay. A dual multi-tap, with spread, crossfeed, and basic EQ.
Mirage Multi-Head Delay. Imagine if you had a tape delay, but the head was like the rotating head in a VCR. Experimental, strange, and wonderful.
Sky Valley Granular Delay. A pitch-shifting granular delay, with control over grain size and scatter, and with EQ.Algorithms:

Modulation
Other Desert Cities includes a full suite of modulation. Using two tempo-synced variable waveshape LFOs and an envelope follower sourced by either the main inputs or a sidechain input, nearly every control in the entire user interface can be modulated extensively, opening up new dimensions of sonic possibility.
Diffusor
Other Desert Cities also includes a diffusor, for "smearing" the feedback path, and bringing ODC near the realm of reverb (especially with the Thermal multi-tap algorithm.)
Levels
Other Desert Cities' secret superpower is its I/O control. Every aspect of the signal chain's gain structure can be controlled and modulated. You don't have to wish for ducking in this delay. Anything can be ducked, panned, oscillated, enveloped, and controlled to your heart's content. Note that the Mute and Input Level controls are input levels to the delay block and do not affect the dry signal; this enables "tails" behavior, and the ability to use an insert effect like a send.

Great full-featured delay

synthetic88 on

Works great in AUM. Tons of crazy creative sounds and options. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Simply does not work

iPad Pro and latest version of iPadOS but it never loads.

Favorite delay on iOS

This is my go-to delay for my guitar signal chain. It strikes a perfect balance between ease of use, sound quality, and flexibility/versatility. Coming from the hardware world, I was worried the AUV3 delays for iOS wouldn’t replace my Meris Polymoon, which I loved. I am very pleased with how well this fits the bill.

Dreamscapes to another world!

I am traditionally a hardware guy and avoid DAW’s as they quell my creativity. So AUM and various synths and effects on iOS are acceptable when I am away from my studio. Trying to duplicate this app alone in hardware would be costly. Other Desert Cities sounds phenomenal. I’ve only had it a half hour and I’m already on Arrakis.

Beautiful and musical

Much more than just a delay. This will turn your music into a lush dreamy work of art. I use it to some degree on almost every track.

Evocative and inspiring

I could hardly believe the expressive possibilities $6 opened up with this app—sending my classical guitar through it. It appears to cover the sonic territory of Crystalline (which was slightly annoying not being AU) and Granulizer along with Apple's Delay Designer (lost when my MacBook died). Among other tricks, it offers the lowest latency I’ve ever had in a pitch shifter.

Loving the sounds so far and a nice amount of artist and preset patches.
