Tape Pro is a versatile tape emulation AUv3 plugin and app that offers warmth, frequency shaping, modulation, noise, and delay effects. It provides a wide range of options, from replicating the sound of a microcassette tape running at 1.2cm/s to creating unique distortion shapes on a high-feedback delay engine.
- Saturation: The saturation module in Tape Pro allows for flexible distortion tuning, offering various types including Tape, Digital, Rectify, Half-Rectify, Sine, and Smooth. With parameters like Type, Drive, Asymmetry, Hysteresis, and Remanence, users can customize their desired distortion sound.
- Response: The response module models the dynamic frequency response of tape, adding warmth, presence, or unique qualities to the audio. Users can choose from impulse responses like Cassette Types 1 to 4, Copi-Delay variations, Master machines, Microcassettes at different speeds, and Semi-Pro RB77 models. The module also includes Minimum Phase versions for optimal use in parallel configurations.
- Noise: Real sampled tape noises can be applied to the signal chain using the Noise module. Users get a choice of noise types and parameters for fine-tuning the effect.
- Wow & Flutter: Emulating natural tape irregularities, the Wow and Flutter modules offer adjustments for low-speed fluctuations (Wow) and high-speed variations (Flutter). With parameters like Depth, Sync, Rate, and Modulation controls, users can recreate realistic tape artifact effects.
- Delay: Featuring an analogue tape delay emulation, the Delay module provides controls for Dry/Wet mix, Left/Right delay times, Feedback levels, Portamento, Sync options, and more. This adds a classic analog tape echo flavor to your audio.
Tape Pro functions as both a standalone application and an AUv3 plugin compatible with iOS and iPadOS hosts like GarageBand. Offering a comprehensive set of tools for tape emulation effects, it caters to a wide range of creative audio processing needs.
