D16 Group SIGMund License Code

The SIGMund Plugin of the D16 Group is a delay with outstanding sound quality, four independent delay tracks and numerous settings. It consists of four discrete delay units, each an independent bundle of parameters in its own right, which together offer an incredible amount of freedom of sound shaping. With this enormous range of parameters, it is not only a classic delay, but can also be used as chorus, distortion, filter, tremolo, flanger, or even for mastering. It is not only aimed at electronic musicians, pianists and guitarists, but also at producers of all genres who want to give their mixes more sonority.

Four independent delay tracks

With the SIGM mouth, the whole is more than just the sum of its parts. Each of the four delay tracks contains three complementary modules that are independent of the feedback loop.

• Multi-mode filter (can be operated inside or outside the feedback loop)
• overdrive module
• Amplitude modulator (for tremolo effects)

And not everything: the SIGMund plugin has two general purpose modulators that can be used to auto-modulate some of the internal parameters of the delay tracks. The modulators can work in three modes:

• LFO - Used discreetly, this brings a sound to life by adding soft, flowing, modulated warmth reminiscent of analog delays of bygone times. At extreme settings, the LFO can distort the input signal beyond recognition into areas that are more like messages from distant alien civilizations.
• Envelope - A very versatile tool in combination with the built-in Transient Detector. Applied to the amplitudes, it allows you to freely change the sound dynamics to control the interaction with the rest of the mix.
• Peak follower - A must-have modulator. No other creates such expressive wah-wah effects. In the hands of a capable sound engineer, however, it offers numerous other fields of application.

All this is combined into an incredibly versatile architecture whose experimental potential can be explored endlessly and whose end result is hardly predictable.

Flexible Routing

The Sigmund's four delay tracks can be coupled together in virtually any way. The plugin offers a choice of nine different routing topologies that pave the way for completely new sound dimensions. For example, suppose you are currently using your delays in parallel, but would like to have a cascade of series-connected delays instead. Then you can reconfigure it immediately with a single click on the desired algorithm.
For even greater ease of use when working with the SIGMund Delay, the output signals of each of the four delays are combined and combined into a dedicated internal mixer programmed for this purpose to ensure a seamless transition between algorithms and speed up workflow.

Outstanding quality

The signal processing solutions chosen by D16 when implementing the SIGMund lead to a barely known level of sound quality. The signal passing sequentially through each processing block does not suffer any loss of quality between the blocks and no unwanted artifacts are introduced into the signal, as is so often the case with some of the widely used inferior plug-ins. With the SIGMund plugin, every delay track is absolutely free of aliasing: the only colorations you'll ever hear are the ones you knowingly added.
The design process for the signal path was uncompromisingly carried out by D16. In fact, the sound quality is so high and the workmanship so clean that even the shortest delay times can be used, even down to a tenth of a millisecond, without creating any artifacts. It is therefore possible to use a single delay track not only as a traditional delay effect, but also as a chorus or flanger, without any tricks or compromises and in the highest possible audio quality.

Intuitive Design

The user interface of the SIGMund Delay plugin has been designed from the ground up to be as intuitive as possible. Everything is literally served as on a silver (or brushed aluminium) tray. Clean, clearly designed and with instant access to each section and its parameters. A handy preset browser allows quick playback of the extensive factory preset library included. This, combined with a novel system of padlock icons to snap in individual presets while other settings can be changed, allows you to quickly and efficiently get to the desired effect.

A multitude of application areas

SIGMund can be effortlessly applied to almost any configuration in the studio. It can be used as an inserted effect for an instrument or a bus channel, or as a versatile transmit effect with the help of the parameter lock, which allows you to listen to presets without having to reset the raw signal or effect signal after each new selection. The plugin can also be used universally instead of just as a delay, for example:

• tremolo
• filters
• limiter
• distortion

Each of these possibilities is a result of the direct application of the numerous modules that you have at your disposal during processing. But also indirectly, depending on the parameter values, there are further possibilities:

• Chorus - through small delay values
• Flanger - through small delay values with additional feedback
• Spatializer - By using delays on delay tracks with different signal domains (M/S or L/R) and phase shifts between the channels
• Mastering / Bus dynamic processor - By applying modulators to the signal amplitudes as shock-triggering envelopes, it is possible to control the sound dynamics very precisely.

These are just examples of SIGMund's most basic functions. With the advantage of an incredibly flexible signal routing system, these simple strategies can be freely mixed and combined to achieve virtually unlimited sound shaping possibilities. Applications can grow quickly from basic to advanced before you even notice it, and above all much more easily than you might ever have thought possible. And all this with maximum sound quality. With this plugin you are at the beginning of a wonderful journey of sound exploration.
