What Tape Suite does
Tape Suite contains four discrete plugins, the Delay, Flanger, Chorus and Color effects, and each provides a deeply tweakable palette of sound and character. The effects are inspired by charactered tape-based sounds, and the developer describes the set as a way to explore sonic territory with complete freedom, using an advanced, fully parametric physical model.
The developer states that the modeling began with an analysis of numerous hardware analog tape systems, and each effect is built on the same physical model. Modulation alters the tape playback speed and detunes the sound, producing a wow effect at low settings.
Key features
- Four tape effect plugins. The suite includes four discrete plugins, each building a separate effect on the same tape model, so Delay, Flanger, Chorus and Color can be used on their own.
- Fully parametric physical model. Each effect is built on the same exacting physical model, and the parameters are fully adjustable, which lets the sound be shaped in detail.
- Modulation of the tape transport. Modulation changes the tape playback speed and detunes the sound, producing a wow effect at low settings, and it acts on the transport rather than on a delayed signal.
- Playback head filtering. A filter models the characteristics of the tape playback head, with physically accurate control over speed, tone and the resulting character.
- Three compander models. The compander includes three models of the noise reduction encode and decode stages historically found on tape, and the type sets whether it acts dynamically.
- Decoupled encode and decode stages. The encode and decode stages are separate, so they can be mixed and matched to create different effect combinations.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches pair the Tape Suite name with keygen and serial key, and a working serial is the string most often typed alongside the plugin name.
