Tape and saturation style processing benefit on being used subtly but inserted on most (if not all) channels, as the cumulative effect. It's made a lot easier if you are able to control the parameters of several instances at once, due to parameter linking/grouping between them. The ones that support this I'm aware of:
U-he Satin
Fuse Audio Labs Flywheel
HoRNeT Tape
CHOW Tape Model
UAD Studer A800 (only on DSP, no gang control on native version)
Slate VTM
SKNote AnyTesla (transformer)
console emus like Sonimus A/N-Console, Satson,
Any others, preferably with low cpu hit and fully functional demo?
edit - additions to the list from the thread:
Process.Audio Spicerack (saturation)
HoRNeT AnalogStage Mk2 (transformer)
SKNote Roundtone (tape)
Overloud Tapedesk (tape)
SKNote Strip (console)
Waves NLS (console)
Tape/saturation plugins with linked controls on multiple instances

I own Slate VTM (though I haven't used it in years), and yes, it groups controls for multiple instances.
See the display that says UNGROUPED?
That means that this particular instance is not part of a group. But it also could be grouped with other instances, at which point all instances in the group would have linked BIAS, SPEED, MACHINE TYPE, and TAPE TYPE.

If you buss all the tracks you want to affect, you can use any tape saturation plug-in. Or just put it on the 2 buss. I do that with Waves Kramer. 
I wonder what happens if I press this button...

You're talking about a single tape instance on a (sub)mix. The tape reacts totally differently to a premixed group of instruments hitting it than it does to individual tracks. Individually, they have their own dynamic saturation. Individually, you can slam a snare or kick to tape to get saturation on its peaks (and only its peaks). Processing them as a group will sound like a mixdown from the 2-buss, where everything saturates together as a unit. To really capture the sound of an analogue studio, you need to do it both ways, to get the sound of both tracking and mixing to tape.

Thanks for the suggestions! I shall try out Waves NLS too, as I remembered I had claimed a license while it was temporarily as a freebie.
KSHMR Chain still sounds like a nice solution on paper, one could control several plugins from one instance.. with ANY plugin you wish. Somehow this seems like too good to be true, there must be some kind of technical glitches that prevent it to be totally awesome?

I don't think AnyTesla has linking/control between instances.sokoleski wrote: Fri Dec 29, 2023 3:18 pm KSHMR Chain.... hmmm ..gotta check this one out !!
Anyone using : SKNote AnyTesla ?
Verdict on that one?
