Delay Lama is a virtual instrument (VST) released in 2002 by AudioNerdz, famous for its distinct 3D singing monk interface and synthesized vocal sounds. While originally designed as a functional (and free) plugin, it became a beloved cult icon in the music production community due to its quirky 'Oy' and 'Ah' vocalizations and retro visual style. In meme culture, the Delay Lama is frequently used to represent the chaotic energy of experimental sound design or the nostalgia of early digital music production software. Whether used in 'producer struggle' memes or surreal shitposts, the monk remains one of the most recognizable and humorous faces in the world of audio engineering gear.
