## Overview

Exodus Delay is a JUCE audio-effect plugin: a host supplies audio and tempo, the processor reads parameter state and configures the delay engine, and processed audio returns to the host. The engine manages delay buffers and up to 16 per-repeat gain, pan, distortion, phaser, and reverb mixes alongside global delay, feedback, and dry/wet settings. The editor exposes those controls. Source excerpts confirm processor-to-engine configuration and engine effect ownership; finer processing order and some unsampled implementation details are not inferred.

Main entry points: [`Source/DelayEngine.cpp`](https://github.com/maytiger877/exodus_delay/blob/main/Source/DelayEngine.cpp) (Delay engine), [`Source/PluginProcessor.cpp`](https://github.com/maytiger877/exodus_delay/blob/main/Source/PluginProcessor.cpp) (Audio processor), [`Source/PluginEditor.cpp`](https://github.com/maytiger877/exodus_delay/blob/main/Source/PluginEditor.cpp) (Plugin editor), [`Source/Parameters.h`](https://github.com/maytiger877/exodus_delay/blob/main/Source/Parameters.h) (Parameter state)
