Cult classic analog delay designed by Bill Putnam Sr. and Duane H. Cooper delivers unique doubling, slapback, and stereo width to any DAW
SCOTTS VALLEY, CA • November 11, 2026 — Universal Audio Inc. (UA), a worldwide leader in audio production tools, is proud to announce the native release of the UAD Cooper Time Cube Delay plug-in for macOS and Windows.
Originally designed in 1971 by UA founder Bill Putnam Sr. and Duane H. Cooper, the Cooper Time Cube created delay by sending audio through an actual garden hose, resulting in signature slapback echo sounds heard on tracks like Rufus’ “Tell Me Something Good” and War’s “Low Rider.”*
Now, music creators can bring that same distinctive character to their mixes with dual delay lines, organic doubling, and instant stereo width, no UA hardware required.
