Resin

Freeze delay

Capture a phrase and hold it as a loop. Change its pitch, add saturation or ring modulation, and keep playing through an independent delay.

Capture a loop

Press Lock to capture the audio in the delay buffer. The loop keeps repeating until you release it, making short phrases, single notes and drum hits available to play with.

Leave Sat and Ring at zero and keep Time fixed to hold the loop without adding colour or changing its length.

Reshape the repeats

Turn up Sat to reshape the loop on each pass. Ring adds anything from slow pulses to metallic tones.

Move Time while the loop plays to bend its pitch and change its length.

Keep playing over the loop

A second delay handles incoming audio while Lock is active. Use Duck to lower the captured loop beneath your playing, or Mute Source to hear the loop on its own.

Automate Lock

Automate Lock in your DAW to capture and release fragments in time with a track. Short captures work for stutters; longer ones hold a phrase beneath the next part.

Sync sets the delay to note values at the host tempo. Switch to milliseconds for free timing.

Resin delay time, sync and stereo controls

Follow the input

Use the filter to shape the combined signal. Choose high-pass, low-pass or notch, then turn ENV to move the cutoff with your playing or an external sidechain.

Features and requirements

Delay time1–4,000 ms, or 11 sync divisions from 1/16 to 1/1, including dotted and triplet values. Maximum delay: four seconds. Time changes bend the pitch.
LockCapture and repeat the delay buffer. In-loop saturation, ring modulation up to 8 kHz and pitch changes via Time. A separate live delay remains active.
StereoPing Pong alternates echoes between channels. Enable it after a normal capture to add an evolving stereo echo around the loop. Width adjusts the wet signal from mono to wide.
FilterHigh-pass, low-pass and notch modes with resonance. ENV moves the cutoff in response to the input or an external sidechain. The filter processes the combined dry and wet signal.
Duck and sourceDuck lowers the locked loop using the input or an external sidechain, with adjustable attack and release. Mute Source removes the dry signal and new audio from the delays.
OutputDry/wet mix, ±18 dB output gain, input and output meters, and bypass.
RequirementsWindows 10 or 11, a 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, and a VST3-compatible DAW. Mono and stereo tracks supported.
ControlsFactory and user presets, a resizable interface and DAW automation of effect parameters.
