As its namesake implies, there are many strange and wonderful things lurking inside. With six delay algorithms, each with its own personality, and extensive modulation, Other Desert Cities covers everything from basic stereo dual delays to never-before-heard granular pitch-shifting chaos. ALGORITHMS 01 Desert Shores Stereo Delay. A standard dual delay, with basic EQ, saturation, crossfeed, and spread. 02 Mecca Reverse Delay. A normal dual delay, except the repeats play backwards, with smooth crossfading and an optional Reflect mode that alternates direction on each repeat. 03 Cactus Dual-Delta Delay. More like a pair of tape decks in use, with individual speed controls from zero to 2x in either direction, and pitch quantizing to octaves, fifths, or semitones. 04 Thermal Multi-Tap Delay. A dual multi-tap with sixteen taps per side, spread, crossfeed, and basic EQ. 05 Mirage Multi-Head Delay. Imagine a tape delay, but the head is the rotating head of a VCR. Experimental, strange, and wonderful. 06 Sky Valley Granular Delay. A pitch-shifting granular delay, with control over grain size and scatter, and EQ. TEMPO Sync to your host, or don't: set the sync source to Tap and everything synced follows the tap button instead. Tap on screen, or assign a MIDI note or CC and tap from your controller; the AUv3 accepts MIDI input directly. MODULATION Other Desert Cities includes a full suite of modulation. Two tempo-synced variable-waveshape LFOs and an envelope follower, sourced from the main input or a sidechain, can modulate nearly every control in the user interface. DIFFUSOR A built-in diffusor smears the feedback path, pushing Other Desert Cities toward reverb territory, especially with the Thermal algorithm. LEVELS The secret superpower is I/O control. Every aspect of the signal chain's gain structure can be controlled and modulated: ducked, panned, oscillated, and enveloped to your heart's content. Mute and Input Level feed only the delay block, not the dry signal, so you get natural tails and send-style behavior from an insert. PRESETS A full factory bank, plus designer presets from Matthew Lyon, Red Means Recording, and Time Rival. Presets are cross-platform (patches made on the desktop version work on iOS, and vice versa) and appear in your host's own preset list, so you can change sounds without opening the UI. FEATURES - AUv3 plugin and standalone app - Delay times up to 2 seconds free, 10 seconds tempo-synced - Tap tempo from the screen or MIDI - Resizable, scrolling user interface - Cross-platform XML preset manager Also available for macOS, Windows, and Linux in CLAP, VST3, AAX, AudioUnit, and LV2 formats at audiodamage.com. ## OtherDesertCities Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/8d/20/fe/8d20feb0-a39b-f9f3-4d8b-5d55f280df0c/Hero_iPhone.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/46/b2/e8/46b2e825-2a0d-0404-4ea9-45e0c903e5f7/Algo1_iPhone.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/59/0d/28/590d286f-6cf6-adef-4f62-b618ff15346d/Algo2_iPhone.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/6e/8b/ff/6e8bffdf-a105-bd1a-64bd-0e5c13808903/Algo3_iPhone.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/ed/00/b3/ed00b3e2-bc10-cc3c-b6c6-59f7a8868a82/Diff-IO_iPhone.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/1d/8a/a4/1d8aa46b-f904-a51c-5255-e3cf24733bd6/Mod_iPhone.png/1242x2688.png) ## OtherDesertCities Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 53 (90%) - 4 stars: 3 (5%) - 3 stars: 1 (2%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 2 (3%) ## OtherDesertCities Reviews in United States ### ****- "Phenomenal but crashes sometimes" This is a great FX app but does eat up DSP and can crash on rare occasions … well worth it but hoping there is a way to optimize it -- Porchglider, 2026-05-17 ### ***** "Thank you for adding iPhone support!" 🧡🧡🧡 -- [ APPLAUSE ], 2026-04-29 ### ***** "My favorite plugin" Pretty much my favorite auv and I have a lot of them. So flexible and sounds amazing from ambient to experimental to utility. Would love if it also worked on my iPhone. -- Lan18, 2025-04-27 ### ***** "When locked in to an Auv3 addiction, The tendency is too..." LOVE this redelayverb is AWESOME. A FAVORITE 😍 For real Far out sounds...This is the definition of A 🎰 happy accident, *plus the default setting g g g 🔥 that's how you do it 🔉AudioDamage! 🔊 -- 🥷🏻Ξ7Ξ7Ξ7, 2025-01-07 ### ***** "Great full-featured delay" Works great in AUM. Tons of crazy creative sounds and options. Can’t recommend highly enough. -- synthetic88, 2023-03-25 ### *---- "Simply does not work" iPad Pro and latest version of iPadOS but it never loads. -- app3aday2, 2023-02-04 ### ***** "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. -- Hootananny, 2022-05-04 ### ***** "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. -- Skeleton Gloves, 2021-12-16 ### ***** "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. -- jeffry-s, 2021-10-13 ### ***** "Another audio damage slam dunk" Loving the sounds so far and a nice amount of artist and preset patches. -- DJSUN1, 2021-10-01 [View all OtherDesertCities reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## OtherDesertCities Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Ireland | Music | #19 | | Top Paid | Chile | Music | #20 | | Top Paid | Japan | Music | #21 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Music | #29 | | Top Paid | Norway | Music | #33 | | Top Paid | Australia | Music | #34 | | Top Paid | Germany | Music | #65 | | Top Paid | Canada | Music | #96 | | Top Paid | Chile | Overall | #108 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Overall | #129 | | Top Paid | United States | Music | #138 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Music | #141 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Overall | #142 | | Top Paid | Norway | Overall | #165 | | Top Paid | Japan | Overall | #179 | ## Apps Similar to OtherDesertCities -
