Summary

Droplet is a raindrop delay audio effect plugin developed by Sinevibes, designed for Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms. It features 32 stereo delay lines with randomized delay time and stereo panning to emulate the natural sound of water drops falling on a surface.

Features

• Multi-tap delay engine with 32 stereo delay lines connected through proportional feedback scaling.
• Adjustable randomization of delay times and output pan positions for natural variation.
• Individual low-pass and high-pass damping filters for each delay line to shape frequency feedback.
• Sine-wave oscillator modulating delay times with flipped polarity routing for even and odd lines, adding unique modulation and unison detuning effects.
• Lag filters on all continuous parameters to ensure smooth, click-free parameter transitions.
• Supports mono to mono, mono to stereo, and stereo to stereo signal configurations.
• Color-coded graphical user interface with consistent parameter naming and automation support.
• Built-in preset management and window size scaling up to 200%.

Supported Platforms and Plugin Formats

• Mac: AU, VST3, AAX for macOS 10.9 or newer (64-bit Apple Silicon and Intel).
• Windows: VST3, AAX for Windows 8.1 or newer (64-bit Intel and AMD).
