Play the tape
Drag the exposed ribbon to influence the echo. Release it and hear the motor recover, from gentle bends to more unruly gestures.

Big possibilities.

Make your own path
Four movable rollers let you guide the ribbon and redistribute its slack. Their positions are saved with your project.
Shape the recovery
Tune the response with Tension to Pitch, Recovery, and Tape Length. TENS-O-MATIC shows changes in tape speed as they unfold.
Keep it musical
Speed, Feedback, Echo Mix, and Output Trim cover the essentials. Brake slows the tape; Panic recovers a stuck path while preserving the echo tail.
THE MIXING ROOM
Less reading.
More listening.
Pull up a chair for Coffee’s Getting Cold. Shape a real stereo mix with AuraFlex and RFC-VCA, compare settings, and follow the sound.
The live session features browser editions of AuraFlex and RFC-VCA.

A FEW PLACES TO START
Plant a note. See what grows.
Play a dub-style return
Put it on a send, bring up the repeats, then pull the tape for a pitch bend at the end of a phrase.
Give keys a drifting tail
Use a quieter echo mix and a gentle tension response. Small gestures can turn a static chord into a moving texture.
Make the transition
Work Tape Speed and Brake for a slowdown, then let the motor find its way back into the track.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Am I actually allowed to touch the tape?
Please do. Dragging the ribbon changes tape speed and pitch through the tension response. Tension to Pitch and Recovery decide how far out the trip gets. Sticky fingers are strictly digital.
Will it remember where I left the rollers?
Your controls and roller positions save with the project. Open the session and the tape springs back to life around the rollers you placed.
What gives the echo its personality?
One stereo playback head, four movable rollers, and a tape ribbon you can reach in and play. Adjust Speed, Feedback and Mix, then let your fingertips take the scenic route.
