Novation has announced that they are making Comeback Kid – described as an “Analogue-flavored Delay Plugin” – available as a free download for owners of the company’s hardware.

It’s available for MacOS & Windows.

Features:

• Delay setup:
  Tempo-sync modes: Straight, dotted, triplet (syncs to your DAW’s BPM). Free mode: 0.01 ms – 2500 ms.
• Accuracy:
  Double-click the numerical display and type-in your desired delay time – down to 0.01 millisecond precision.
• Ping-Pong:
  Classic stereo delay trick.
• Ducker:
  Ducks the delay signal when the dry signal is playing — for a cleaner sound.
• Lo-Cut + Hi-Cut:
  A pair of analog-modeled filters to shape the tonal response of the wet signal.
• Attack + Sustain:
  Flexible transient designers to shape the envelope of your delay signal.
• Cheap:
  A custom 11-bit signal path inspired by vintage digital delays.
• Tape:
  Analog-modeled saturation algorithm, which will give you a classic tape delay sound.
• Swirl:
  Warm and organic-sounding phasing effect that adds movement to your delays.
• Sauce:
  Algorithmic reverb for adding diffusion to the wet signal.
• Wider:
  Changes the timing between the left and right signals to create a wider delay sound.
• Richer:
  Changes the pitch between the left and right signals to create a lush and wide delay sound.
• Pan:
  Pans the delay.
• Mono:
  Turns the delay into a mono signal.
• Destiny:
  Subtle randomization algorithm that creates a more human delay feel.
• Off mode:
  Double click the “Comeback Kid” logo to disable the delay engine. This allows you to use the plugin’s flavoring tools on your dry signal — like a regular multi-FX / color box.
• Display options:
  Switch between dark and light background colors.
