Tape Machine

Tape Machine is a Max for Live device designed for Ableton Live by Stephen Black, created to emulate the character and imperfections of vintage tape machines and cassettes. It features adjustable controls for noise, warping, distortion, filtering, and delay with feedback, allowing users to sculpt everything from subtle analog warmth to degraded lofi textures. Tape Machine functions as both an audio effect and a playable instrument, making it ideal for adding nostalgic color to tracks or generating evolving ambient soundscapes.

I have a few directions i want to take this in future updates, ideally i will be adding a second "tape" that the delays can be routed into and manipulated further.
