This plugin is an analog tape emulation algorithm by Jatin Chowdhury, a mini version of the mindblowing AnalogTapeModel vst plugin by the same. For a deep dive, see Chowdhury's paper on analog tape modelling. This smaller version is mostly useful as a tape saturation/distortion.
The plugin's guts feature variable oversampling and anti aliasing filters to achieve high quality distortion.
input |
Audio input |
bias |
Tape bias. 0.0 to 1.0. |
saturation |
Tape saturation. 0.0 to 1.0 but may be pushed harder. |
drive |
Tape drive. 0.0 to 1.0 but may be pushed harder. |
oversample |
Set amount of oversampling 0 = No oversampling, 1 = x2, 2 = x4, 3 = x8, 4 = x16 |
mode |
Change the mode (solver type) of the tape algorithm: 0 = RK2 (2nd order Runge Kutta) 1 = RK4 (4th order Runge Kutta) 2 = NR4 (4-iteration Newton Raphson) 3 = NR8 (8-iteration Newton Raphson) The Runge-Kutta solvers are computationally cheaper, but somewhat less accurate than the Newton-Raphson solvers. Similarly, the higher-order solvers will be more accurate, but will also consume more compute resources. |
