The TAPE APB plug-in is an emulation of magnetic tape recording systems.
TAPE is not like most other tape machine emulations, because it is an ANALOG tape machine emulation. TAPE uses a four stage analog process to recreate the compression-like effect of recording to tape.
The TAPE algorithm emulates characteristics of magnetic tape machines made primarily in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Different tape formulas (types), playback head configurations, low end ‘bump’ amount, and low frequency rolloff are all user controllable.
The amount of tape compression is even user controllable. Input and output levels are also adjustable. Metering of input, output, and gain reduction are shown with dual VU meters.
Playback head configuration. Two choices – 1970’s and 1980’s – incorporate characteristics of magnetic tape machines made during those eras. The HEAD control will influence overall frequency response, and is best used when auditioning different amounts of ROLLOFF and BUMP control settings.
Experiment with the TAPE and COMP controls for getting a variety of tape compression sounds. Use the OUT control to crank it up even more, or dial things back a bit to stay at roughly the levels of the original input signal.
You can bypass most of the tape compression stages by turning the COMP control to 0%. Doing so will cause the input signal to hit the final output stage much harder, and possibly generate some subtle mid range saturation.
Features include:
- Analog emulation of magnetic tape recording systems
- Four stage analog process
- User control of magnetic tape type, playback head characteristics, and tape compression
- VU style metering of input, output, overall gain reduction
- Double precision digital processing
- Sample accurate automation of analog processing
