Introduced in 1978, the AMS® DMX 15‑80 S was the world's first 15‑bit digital delay and pitch shifter. Used on hundreds of classic albums, the AMS DMX Digital Delay & Pitch Shifter is the only plug‑in that gives you the authentic soundscapes of this rare hardware.

Explore an Era-Defining Studio Processor

The AMS DMX plug-in gives you the same groundbreaking controls as the vintage rackmount, including two independent delay channels, just over six seconds of delay time, and musical, “de‑glitched” pitch shifting, for doubling, delay, chorus, and ambient effects that are classic to this day.

Add Sonic Intrigue to Any Source

Use the AMS DMX Digital Delay & Pitch Shifter plug‑in to add vintage digital dimension to drum machines, synths, or guitars. Or craft automatic double tracking effects and unique arpeggio patterns on vocals, horns, and more.

Create New Sounds with "Plug-In Only" Features

The AMS DMX plug-in not only gives you all the revisions of the vintage hardware, you also get modern upgrades like Tempo Sync, Dual VCO mode, Dry/Wet Mix, Wet Solo, and more.

Get the Perfect Partner for your AMS RMX16 Reverb

Combine the AMS DMX Digital Delay plug‑in with the AMS RMX16 Digital Reverb plug‑in for the ultimate in vintage digital processing, and give your productions the pioneering sound of two legendary creative tools.

I’m about to abuse the hell out of the AMS DMX Digital Delay & Pitch Shifter plug‑in on every mix.

I've used the AMS DMX hardware on every record I've made since the early '80s, and now they've nailed the sound with this plug‑in. I am beyond ecstatic.

    Make it native)

    I think I gotta say sorry about delay of saying thank you for making all the EMT stuff native, by the way, what a timing it is! I wrote the review down asking you guys for that and suddenly it appears! Real magic, because I'm living the period where I can't allow myself transferring all the UAD-2 stuff, because of different locations and small places, so nowadays my go-to is Apollo Solo (It's a lil old one and I've already have it, so that's the certain reason why I hadn't charged for Twin X). I really love this plugin, it gifts me the days I've been on my own with the analog one and represent it like I'm at the console board with those racks behind me, fantastic and amazing. For you to know, I'm not about how the plugin looks (btw, gorgeously), but how it sounds and I'm definitely saying that's one and the only I've been searching for. Don't tryna be ill-mannered, it's nothing, but simply to give my craving a try). Thank you for everything, appreciate.
