MAIN FEATURES:

-Real analog tape sound, with its classic warmth, within the digital domain, and with characteristics and control impossible to achieve in conventional tape recorders.

-Modelling of the four most representative tape recorders on the market: an old vintage machine with valve circuitry, a transistor based machine of the late 60’s, an operational-amplifier based machine of the 70’s and a machine of the latest generation.

-Simulation of the three most common noise reduction systems, plus a proprietary noiseless-tape mode.

-Switchable tape speed (7 1/2 ips – 15 ips – 30 ips) allows maximum control and even permits unusual combinations of tape recorders and speeds.

-User adjustable operating level.

-Independent input and output sliders and meters.

-Easy and intuitive user interface.
