The Valhalla Delay stands out as a remarkable tool, earning its place as a true masterpiece in the realm of in-the-box sound design. Now, it has been expanded with two new algorithms: Chroma Tape and Analog. Previously, I stated:

“Unless Valhalla DSP programs more algorithms, Darker Trilogy includes everything I have to say about the wonderful Valhalla Delay.”

Clearly, it was only natural to create new presets, right? Now, the Darker Trilogy has evolved into a Quadrology!

For those seeking deeper, more resonant tones, the Darker Trilogy Experimental Sound Design Preset Collection for the Valhalla Delay has always been the perfect solution—and it continues to be, now enhanced with my new preset pack: Darker 4 – Memoria. This carefully curated collection offers a vast range of options for reverbs and delays, enriched with spatial depth, temporal flexibility, and intricate modulation possibilities. The presets *Memoria* and *Memorium* focus exclusively on the two new algorithms, transforming (incoming audio, such as vocals, field recordings or) even a simple chord into something truly exciting. As an add-on, you’ll get creative presets for Supermassive and Vintage Verb.

Darker 4 – Memoria is designed for plucks, pads, and leads (essentially everything). Some presets are crafted to be upfront and prominent, while others evolve slowly over time, as drones typically do. 

General advice for using these presets: 
1. Patience is key; allow the presets time to evolve and bloom.  
2. Use a limiter. 
3. Adjust the mix and/or other settings to suit your taste. 
4. Most importantly, have fun! 

When integrating these presets into your projects, feel free to use them as either insert or send effects. For installation, refer to the guidelines provided in the appendix.
