TS-440 is a cassette tape plug-in that recreates the sound of 20 real cassette recorders and 4 tape types, from gentle analog warmth to fully worn-out lo-fi tape. It’s for producers and mix engineers who want cassette character on single tracks, buses or a whole mix.

Superlunar TS-440 1.1.0 Overview

TS-440 is made by Superlunar, a developer of audio plug-ins and analog pedals. It runs as an AU, VST3 or AAX plug-in on Mac and Windows. Each of the 20 modeled recorders has its own preamp, EQ, tape-head response and transport behavior, from the warm JFET input of the original TEAC 144 to the punchy op-amp circuits of the Tascam 424 series. You pick a deck, choose one of four tape formulations, and decide how much wear and damage to add. Push the input to saturate the preamp, or bypass the tape and use TS-440 as a channel strip.

Key Features

20 modeled cassette recorders: Each has its own preamp, EQ topology, head response and transport behavior. 4 tape formulations: Type I Ferric, Type II Chrome, Type III Ferrichrome and Type IV Metal, each with its own style of compression and saturation. Preamp drive and channel-strip mode: You can overdrive the preamp for harmonic saturation, or bypass the tape and use the preamp on its own. Tape wear and damage controls: Tape aging, head wear, drift, wow and flutter, dropouts, hiss and other lo-fi artifacts. Pitch and tape speed: You can control playback pitch for detuned, warped effects. Three tape speeds are available, and slower speeds add more hiss, saturation and wobble. 33 factory presets: From clean studio masters to fully destroyed tape textures.
