AudioThing Outer Space - Tape Echo - NEW v2.1

[audiothing]

@Carlo:

Would a 0 ms mode (only tape sound, no repeats) be possible? At the moment the closest setting is head 1 at 60 ms (Wet Only on, Intensity at 0).

I don't want to turn this into a "just tape" plugin, so probably not. But I'll think about it.

Getting some pops when changing presets and in particular the preset 'Wider' can't be played on my system (M1Max) without shutting down the audio engine

Same for me.... instant crash when selecting this preset....

This should be fixed now with the beta version you can find in your user area.

@Carlo:

Drops

Controls the amount of volume loss in the tape emulation

What I really would like is for Drops to also affect the high frequencies. Bad spots in the tape and dirty heads usually don't only lower the volume, they also sound as if there is a LP filter applied. These subtle to severe volume and frequency fluctuations make the tape echo sound more lively.

That's already baked in the tape emulation itself, and it's speed-dependent (and also a bit more noticeable on the old tape type).
The idea behind the drops parameter is that it affects three things, the tape itself, the record head, and the play heads. My unit came with a nice RT-1L tape that eventually wore out, creating points in the tape where the record head could not write at all. When I was doing the first tests for the emulations, after spending hours and hours on it, I could anticipate exactly when it was going to happen

Maybe I've been watching too many YouTube vids with beat-up Space Echo units.

@Carlo:

Could you please put Mono Sum before the head panning instead of after?

Yes, that’s fixed in the beta available in your user area.

This seems to be the same version that you sent me by e-mail, but I’ll give it a try nonetheless.

To be clear I’m not talking about the mono sum bug. That indeed was fixed. Thanks again. I’d like to be able to pan the heads in mono mode. To achieve that now I use Outer Space in stereo mode as a send effect with a stereo to mono plugin before it. It would be nice if you could use Outer Space in mono mode as insert effect and still pan the heads.

Edit: I was using build 4555, but build 4558 seems to do what I want.

[audiothing]

Yes the new build fixes that. We are adding/fixing a few more things and will probably release a 2.1 soon.

is it good ? .,...compared to others of such style.
edit: nevermind, found the answer

Now that Roland released their own RE-201 this might be a good time to get the 2.1 update out.

Roland f**king suck, and it's probably only for subscriber customers anyway.
Not worth the trouble their software.

It was in the plans regardless We are moving to a new studio/office so everything has been put on hold longer than expected.
