Arturia Xmas Gift- Tape Mello Fi Effect :-)

[muki]

does it get added to the account automatically or do i have to do something?
do i need a serialnumber and then hit the "register new product" button in ASC ?

confusing...

...at least 9 days to go and wait...

It gets automatically added to your products. At some point, it will show up in ASC, and your account on Arturia's website. You will also get a mail when it happens.

I'm afraid you have to be patient. Seems like their site is getting hammered.

on the page it says it has been added to my account,
but...
...i don't see it in the account on the page nor is it listed in ASC...
...even after more than 1 hour...

Same here ... nothing in the software centre after hours of waiting.

I finally got mine, but it took a couple of hours...

Looking forward to giving this a try.

I hope Arturia also releases the Solina chorus as it’s own effect, like the Juno chorus.

Looks like I got in at the right time, just before everybody else. After some initial testing I have to say that I like this plugin, I like it a lot. Very good for lofifying your sounds. And the stereo width option is cool as well. Now I'm really interested what the other two plugins might be. I hope they ditch the Studers and do something different (assuming they'll be releasing a tape trio). Anyhow, thanks Arturia!

Is my Tone control working as it should? It cuts off the low and high frequencies like an old radio, but in the Mixbus TV video it doesn't seem to do that at all.

I didn't watch the video, but mine behaved the same way. You can switch it off, though, but an option where switching it on doesn't completely cut off the low end would be nice indeed.

Sorry for the noob question, but for what exactly do you guys use such tape plugins? I'm not even sure if there is a use case in electronic music, which I exclusively do.

To FSU in a lofiish way. Most genres have a lofi sibling and if you're into something like that these types of plugins can come in handy.

Ok, so, basically, it's often used to make recordings sound as if they're old, or lo-fi?

Yeah. It would be useful if you’re doing synthwave.

[chk071]

Thanks. Might be useful for my stuff as well in some cases. I'll give it a try.

The same here! I thought I should install it, so I did but it stayed in demo mode with "buy" button that leads to nowhere when clicked!

I guess, I will uninstall it and wait till tomorrow and see

For it to be most authentic, you might want to send each note to its own mixer channel and insert an instance of Tape Mello-Fi on each one. Set each slightly differently.
