Tape Echo 2
19.9 MB
Tape Echo 2 is a three-head tape delay and spring reverb, modeled from the record head to the output amplifier. Completely free.
A tape echo is a loop of tape running past one record head and three playback heads. Where the heads sit determines the rhythm, how fast the motor turns determines the tempo, and how much signal you feed back onto the tape determines whether you get one repeat, a rhythmic cascade, or a howling runaway.
Tape Echo 2 models that machine rather than approximating it with a delay line. The three heads share a single motor, so moving the Repeat Rate moves all three together and the tape glides into its new speed the way a real transport does. Age the tape and the wow, flutter, hiss, and level wobble all worsen together. Push the regeneration and the loop saturates, compresses, and eventually self-oscillates.
