Toaster - one-knob tape saturation emulation

[tweakbench]

Yep, another one-knob tape saturation plugin. But this one is $5, and is also included in the Tweakbench bundle if you already have it. I'm working on getting audio demos recorded for everything.. hang tight!



For the DSP nerds here's the innards:
Based on "Real-Time Physical Modelling for Analog Tape Machines" DAFx 2019 and the Chowdhury DSP tape emulation of the Jiles-Atherton hysteresis model. (shew!)

Inside signal chain:
1. Oversampling (4x) to reduce aliasing
2. Asymmetric soft saturation (tape-like waveshaping)
3. Head bump (low-frequency resonance ~80Hz)
4. High-frequency loss (increases with saturation)
5. Subtle bias/hysteresis simulation
6. Output gain compensation
