Audio Damage, Inc.OtherDesertCities Customer Service
Other Desert Cities is a multi-mode delay plugin built for sound designers, producers, and anyone who thinks regular delays are getting a little boring.
Named after the famous sign on the I-10 leaving Los Angeles, Other Desert Cities takes you down less-traveled roads. Six algorithms, each with its own distinct personality. A full suite of modulation. A diffuser that smears feedback toward reverb. And gain-structure controls deep enough to duck, pan, and route almost anything.
ALGORITHMS
Desert Shores — a clean dual stereo delay with saturation, filtering, spread, and crossfeed.
Mecca — a reverse delay with smooth crossfading and an optional Reflect mode that alternates playback direction on each repeat.
Cactus — a dual-delta delay. Each side runs as a variable-speed looper, playing forward or backward at any speed from zero to 2x, with pitch quantized to octaves, fifths, or semitones.
Thermal — a multi-tap delay with up to sixteen equally-spaced taps per side, each with its own level.
Mirage — a variable-speed multi-head delay inspired by the 1967 Eltro Information Rate Changer. One to four rotating heads play through a circular buffer at any speed from -2 to +2.
Sky Valley — a granular delay with independent control over grain size, scatter, and pitch randomization. Transpose from three octaves down to one octave up.
MODULATION
Two tempo-syncable LFOs with variable shape and skew, plus an envelope follower with sidechain input. Almost every parameter in the plugin can be modulated. Click any knob and assign modulation depth from each of the three sources independently.
DIFFUSER
A diffusion processor sits inside the feedback path, with controls for size, diffusion amount, modulation rate and depth, and a dedicated low-cut filter. At high settings it takes the delay into reverb territory, especially paired with the Thermal algorithm.
LEVELS
Full input/output gain control, stereo width, independent delay pan, regeneration balance, and wet balance. Input level and mute sit before the delay block, so the plugin works correctly as both an insert and a send, with proper tails behavior.
PRESETS
Factory presets from Chris Randall, Matthew Lyon, Red Means Recording, and Time Rival, plus a cross-platform XML-based preset manager with import, export, and clipboard paste.

Evocative and inspiringI could hardly believe the expressive possibilities $6 opened up with this app—sending my classical guitar through it. It appears to cover the sonic territory of Crystalline (which was slightly annoying not being AU) and Granulizer along with Apple's Delay Designer (lost when my MacBook died). Among other tricks, it offers the lowest latency I’ve ever had in a pitch shifter..Version: 1.0.9
Dreamscapes to another world!I am traditionally a hardware guy and avoid DAW’s as they quell my creativity. So AUM and various synths and effects on iOS are acceptable when I am away from my studio. Trying to duplicate this app alone in hardware would be costly. Other Desert Cities sounds phenomenal. I’ve only had it a half hour and I’m already on Arrakis..Version: 1.0.9
Beautiful and musicalMuch more than just a delay. This will turn your music into a lush dreamy work of art. I use it to some degree on almost every track..Version: 1.0.9
Great full-featured delayWorks great in AUM. Tons of crazy creative sounds and options. Can’t recommend highly enough..Version: 1.0.9
