Tape Echo 2

Released

A three-head tape echo and spring reverb modeled end to end, with 12 echo modes, mechanical head timing across the full motor range, tape saturation, wow and flutter that worsen with tape age, splice dropout, and regeneration that runs all the way into self-oscillation. Tempo sync offers eleven note detents held to the transport's physical range, as on the hardware. 13 factory presets, record-path VU and peak metering, dry/wet mix, and independent echo and spring panning. Completely free.

Sunset Circuits

Released

Six classic synthesizers under one roof, one instrument that switches personality with a single click. A stable-tuned DCO poly, a self- oscillating analog five-voice with poly-mod, an aggressive mono, a patchable semi-modular with spring reverb, a four-operator FM engine with eight algorithms, and a screaming acid bass box with a step sequencer. 54 factory presets and a user preset library. Completely free.

TapeMachine 2

Released

The next-generation tape engine with two modeled machines, Swiss (A800-style) and American (ATR-102-style), featuring anti-aliased tape saturation, per-speed head bump and HF response, four tape speeds, four formulations, adjustable head width, wow & flutter, repro EQ, and machine-authentic front-panel toggles. 20 factory presets modeled on the hardware units' classic settings. Completely free.
