CHOW Matrix

CHOW Matrix by ChowDSP is a node-based delay plugin. Its internal processing chain is fully scalable, allowing you to build anything from simple delay effects to complex multi-node echo setups. Each node adds a layer of complexity to the delay signal chain. The nodes are identical, each offering nine parameters, but you can change the parameters on each node independently of all the others. The number of nodes you can add to the node tree is unlimited.

You can use the CHOW Matrix to create a basic single-node delay or create extraordinary soundscapes using a large node tree. Despite its complexity, the CHOW Matrix is relatively easy to use. It provides some clever GUI shortcuts to speed up the workflow. For example, the position of each node in the editor sets that node’s pan parameter on the output. CHOW Matrix is available on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Linux. It’s not for everyone, but it’s one of the most flexible delay plugins I’ve seen.
