Moog Music has introduced the 500 Series Analog Delay, the first delay designed for the 500 series pro audio format.

The Analog Delay is a 100% analog signal path module that features 800ms of delay time, front panel MIDI control, and an assignable Tap Tempo/CV jack on its front panel. Included with each unit is an VST/AU/RTAS editor for integration into any recording, live, and performance setup.

Moog describes the delay as having “an incredibly clean front end that can easily be pushed into a warm, natural overdrive for saturated delay trails or distorted delay effects.”

Though not on the front panel, the Analog Delay features a 6 Waveshape LFO that allows users to create other time based effects such as tape delay, chorus and extremely modulated sounds. The LFO is easily accessed via MIDI and the editor.

Also accessible via the included editor are advanced features like Tap/CV input routing, Keyboard Control settings, Clock Divisions and a Delay Multiplier for access to illegal delay times (up to 4x the front panel position). In addition to Tap Tempo and CV control, the Tap/CV input can also convert click track audio into a tap tempo signal.

The new Moog 500 Series Analog Delay module is priced at $999 and is expected to begin shipping in Dec. 2012. See the Moog site for details.
