VirSyn has announced the release of VTAPE - The Analog Tape Suite, a set of two plug-ins based on a thorough simulation of the famous sound of analog tape machines.

1. VTAPE Saturator simulates the recording and playback of an analog tape mastering machine.
2. VTAPE Delay combines this sound with a modern, step sequencer-like tapped delay engine which leads the tradition of the tape echo machines into the 21st century.
