Echomania:
Besides being a CPU hog this plug-in goes further than most (all?) real tape delay machines. It's capable of stereo delays, ping pong delays, multitap delays and complex delay textures.
tape model including tape saturation, tape noise, flutter, low and high pass filtering
4 separate delay lines which can be configured for various delay types (Try out the preset programs as examples. Also see the included signal diagram "diagram.jpg" to understand the structure of this effect)
delay times can either be defined in milliseconds or in relation to the song tempo in your sequencer. (switchable for each delay line)
all parameters are controllable by midi controllers.
pop-up hints help to understand the function of each control on the user interface. These appear when the mouse rests over a control.
Also the assignement of midi controllers is documented in the pop-up hints.

Voxengo Sample Delay: Sample Delay is an auxiliary plug-in which allows you to delay audio for a specified amount of samples. It is possible to set the sample delay for the left and right channels independently of each other.
Retro Delay is a flexible allround delay effect in VST format.
It has the character and sound of a vintage delay unit but features many modern options.
Besides delays, it can produce a wide range of modulation, chorus, flanger and phaser effects.

Analog delay: It consist in a delay unit followed by a 2nd order lowpass filter with saturation. The delay-time can evolve between 0 and max-delay which lets you be very accurate. You can also synchronise the delay to the tempo with different resolutions from 1/128 to 1 bar and control the way the delay-time is interpolated with the kind of interpolation and the time-constant.
I won't maintain this one anymore in its state, but I am recoding it to be much cleaner than it is right now.
I should add for v2:
a feedback path selector (ping-pong,paralelle...)
Tom Pong is a ping pong delay VST Plugin. Currently it's Windows only, but a Mac version is will be here shortly. A ping pong delay is a delay which alternates from one speaker to another. If the balance is set to 0.5, a stereo signal will invert itself each time the delay buffer is played back. If the balance is set to either side of 0.5, the signal bounces back and forth between the speakers. Tom Pong can be synced to the host sequencer, or delay times can be set by sample count. Feedback and output level are also adjustable.
Tom Pong is free, so enjoy!
Oh, and the knobs are snapple caps. They say "You have to play ping-pong for 12 hours to lose one pound"...it seemed fitting.
