St. Mora: Harmonising Recall Delay

Save over 30% when you buy all three Fabula effects together. 

St. Mora is a harmonising recall delay effect inspired by medieval music. Its echoes follow your playing a fifth or fourth away, inspired by the earliest church harmony (organum), and it keeps a 28-second memory of what you play so the delay can bring back phrases from earlier in your performance in surprising ways with it's fragmentation feature.

It's perfect for for cinematic, ambient, rock/indie, electronic and choral music, and it works on any source from guitar and voice to synths.

Overview

• Three delay styles: PLAINSONG gives a plain echo, ORGANUM harmonises the echoes a fifth or fourth away, and HOCKET moves the echoes between the left and right channels
• Reverse echoes: setting the DIRECTION switch to RETROGRADE plays the echoes backwards
• 28-second memory: the MEMORY control reaches into what you played, so the echoes can bring back earlier phrases 
• AGE control: scatters fragments from across that memory, from none at zero to a shower of pieces from different moments at full
• Five controls: TIME, REPEATS, MEMORY, AGE and MIX, alongside the STYLE and DIRECTION switches
• Reactive and expressive interface: the artwork animates as you turn each control
• Low CPU use: very light on CPU, works at every sample rate and buffer size, with a resizable window and every setting saved with your project
• Formats: VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone on Mac; VST3, AAX and Standalone on Windows; VST3 and Standalone on Linux
• Perpetual licence: royalty-free use, with no subscription and no iLok or activation required

Three delay styles

St. Mora has three delay styles, each named after a term from medieval music. PLAINSONG is a plain echo. ORGANUM harmonises the echoes, sounding a fifth or fourth away from what you play, in the manner of the earliest church harmony. HOCKET moves those echoes between the left and right channels.

Setting the DIRECTION switch to RETROGRADE plays the echoes backwards. TIME and REPEATS shape the echoes, and MIX blends the delay with your dry signal.

Memory and age

St. Mora keeps a 28-second memory of everything you play. The MEMORY control reaches into it, so the echoes can bring back phrases from earlier in your performance.

The AGE control scatters fragments from across that memory. At zero there are none, and as you turn it up, pieces from different moments drift into the delay until, at full, they fall as a shower of fragments.

Reactive and expressive interface

Each control animates the artwork as you use it. TIME sends the saint's eyes sideways, MEMORY makes her weep, MIX brings the lilies into bloom, AGE ages her face into that of an old woman and REPEATS sends halo echoes rippling outwards behind her.

Made for

St. Mora turns a simple melodic line into a harmonised motif, with echoes sounding a fifth and fourth away. ORGANUM builds parallel harmonies from a single note. With MEMORY and AGE raised, textural and melodic parts gain fragments of earlier phrases that drift back into the music; great for ambient music and atmospheric scoring.
