Orra Space
Five reverb spaces and a tape delay, cross-pollinated.
Clean at the core, vintage on top, blended to taste. Two engines run in parallel, a single BLEND crossfades between them, and they can feed each other for textures neither makes alone.

How it works
Two engines, fed in parallel, blended to taste and finished on the output
Blend It: Two Engines
Your dry signal feeds the reverb engine and the tape delay at the same time, not in series. A single BLEND knob crossfades between them: full reverb, full delay, or any mix.
MIX then sets how much of that wet signal sits against your dry, on an equal-power curve so the level stays steady.
BLEND chooses the flavour, MIX chooses the amount, two clean decisions instead of one tangled one.
Reverb and delay, in parallel
Cross It: X-Feed
X-Feed injects one engine into the other. Toward the reverb, the delay repeats spill in and bloom into a wash. Toward the delay, the reverb tail is chopped into rhythmic echoes.
At centre the engines run cleanly in parallel. A touch adds life; more builds evolving, self-feeding textures.
The FLOW view shows the cross-feed direction and amount as you turn it.
Textures neither engine makes alone
Voice It: Vintage on Top
The DSP underneath is voiced clean and modern. The vintage flavour is added on top, so you choose how much you want.
The Character switch sets Vintage or Modern globally; Motion drives wow-and-flutter and tail movement; Age wears the delay repeats down; Shimmer adds an octave-up bloom.
Every space and every preset can be either character, it is an orthogonal axis.
Clean at the core, worn to taste
Duck the wet to anything, from anywhere
The DUCK control pulls the whole wet signal down, reverb tail and tape echoes alike, while a key source plays, then lets it bloom back in the gaps. Keep a hall clear of a vocal, a wash off the kick, or a delay out of a busy lead. What sets Orra Space apart is what it will listen to.
The default. The duck keys off the signal passing through Orra Space, the track it sits on. Insert it on a vocal and the reverb ducks under that vocal automatically.
The host's dedicated sidechain bus. Route any track to Orra Space's SC input in your DAW and it drives the duck.
Live tracks picked by name with Orra Link 2, or the numbered Link 1 to 36 channels. Key the reverb from a track that is not feeding it at all, even in hosts whose routing will not allow it.
Duck the wet off any track, by name
Orra Link 2, the free companion sender bundled in the Orra Space installer, puts your session's live tracks straight into the KEY menu by name, so you can sidechain any track in any DAW even where the host won't let you route across busses normally.
Tick tracks, not channel numbers.
The KEY menu lists live tracks by their actual names, tinted in their track colors. Tick as many as you like and Orra Space combines every selected source, exactly like the numbered channels. Duck a big hall under the lead vocal and the snare at once, in one instance.
Pick your sources by name
- AutoDrop Orra Link 2 on a track and it appears by name, tinted in the track's color, in Orra Space's KEY menu. No channel to remember, no routing to document.
- SidechainThe host's dedicated sidechain bus. Route any track to Orra Space's SC input in your DAW and it drives the duck.
- NumberedThe classic Link 1 to 36 channels are still supported for older setups and templates, right alongside the by-name Link 2 workflow.
Picks survive reloads. Missing senders are flagged.
Selections are stored by track name, so your wiring is still there when you reopen the project, even for Auto-mode senders that never keep a stable channel number. If a picked track's sender disappears, the menu shows it flagged ("! Name") and it simply stops contributing to the key until it returns, so nothing keys off a stale channel and you can always find it to untick it. The KEY menu lists only Link channels that are actually live or already ticked, so it stays short.

Key off any track, and play the tape backwards
Orra Space v1.1.0 brings Orra Link 2 integration (pick duck key sources by track name), duck attack and release controls, a detector that works at any key level, and a true Reverse mode on the tape delay. Existing sessions and presets load unchanged.
Behavior change in v1.1.0
The self-calibrating duck detector is a deliberate behavior change. The duck now responds to the key's dynamics rather than its absolute level, referencing the key against its own recent peaks, with a silence floor around -60 dBFS so a noise floor cannot trigger the duck. Hot key tracks duck essentially as before, but sessions that relied on a quiet key producing an unintentionally shallow duck will now duck at full depth. Turn DUCK down to taste.
