About this block
Modeled after a vintage multi-head tape machine with tape drift and magnetic saturation included, Tape Delay captures the character and rhythmic quirks of classic vintage delay hardware and offers familiar classic sounds.
- Level & Mix: Overall output level and the dry/wet balance.
- Time, Subdivision & Tempo: Change tape speed freely or lock it to host clock.
- Head Mode: Combine short, mid, and long playback heads to build rhythmic patterns.
- Feedback: Controls the amount of delay repeats. In multihead mode you can push the record head into self-oscillation.
- Wow & Flutter: Mechanical pitch instability from a worn tape motor.
- Tape Age: Ages the tape for darker repeats and adds lo-fi character.
- Drive: Overdrives the record amp into warm, asymmetrical clipping.
- Trails: Tape spins down and fades out on bypass.
