The more general controls вЂ“ tape speed, input gain, feedback and low/hi cut filters вЂ“ work in tandem with the вЂserviceвЂ™ panel parameters at the bottom to define the sound, the latter enabling tinkering with the technicalities of the tape (Asperity, Wow & Flutter, etc) and heads (Gap Width, Bump and Azimuth).ДЄlthough itвЂ™s not as flexible as others in our list, SatinвЂ™s four-head option and mechanical tweaking nuances set it apart, and it soundsВ as genuinely tape-like as weвЂ™ve ever heard in software. Today Im taking you to another time and dimension. Two or four tape heads provide the taps, each one adjustable in terms of Distance (delay time), Balance, Level and modulation, and routable in Multi-Mono, Ping-Pong and Cross modulation configurations. This sublime tape emulation plugin doesnвЂ™t put delay effects at the top of the agenda, being primarily concerned with applying luxurious saturation to tracks and mixes, but kick it into Delay mode and a world of echo-based treats opens up. It serves up echoes of such rich textural character and vintage authenticity that youвЂ™ll swear theyвЂ™re coming from physical tape. FabFilter has redesigned its analogue-modelling algorithms from top to.

The latest iteration promises a warmer sound and features five new one-knob feedback effect modules, six filters, plus an overhauled GUI that makes it easier to design your delay lines. Outer SpaceвЂ™s headline feature, though, is its palpable analogue sound. Dutch brand FabFilter has updated its tape-style delay plug-in, introducing Timeless 3. Not least of these is the de rigueur tempo sync option for keeping the delays locked to the host DAWвЂ™s clock, but rather more interesting are the addition of вЂNewвЂ™ and вЂOldвЂ™ tape types alongside the default RT-1L model, per-head volume and pan controls, low- and high-cut filters, adjustable background noise with envelope following, and Pre-Emphasis and wet signal ducking controls. One of the most successful tape delays ever built,В RolandвЂ™s RE-201 Space Echo was a studio must-have in the 70s and 80s, and although there are numerous plugin versions of it on the market, AudioThingвЂ™s magnificent emulation is our favourite.ДЄs well as modelling the central three tape heads and spring reverb of the original hardware, and all 12 of its signal routing/configuration modes, Outer Space throws in a variety of extras and enhancements.
