WAVE ALCHEMY Wave Alchemy Tapewave

About Wave Alchemy Tapewave

Tapewave is a versatile tape plugin that blends the crisp tones of analog tape with the nostalgic charm of aged, lo-fi cassettes.

• Six unique tape styles, each delivering its own distinct character—from clean and punchy to dark, gritty, and lo-fi

• Adjustable Tape Age control to transform each tape style from pristine to worn-out, capturing a wide range of cassette degradation

• Painstakingly modeled analog tape saturation circuit with up to 16x oversampling for smooth, alias-free operation

• Two analog-style compression modes, including a vibey Shure Level Loc emulation, to crush transients or tame dynamics effortlessly

• Authentic Wow & Flutter engine for realistic pitch fluctuations, featuring both stable cosine curve modulation and a custom-tuned Perlin noise generator for authentic pitch warble

• Switchable tape hiss circuit and punchy output maximizer for extra loudness

• Internal preset browser with searching, tags, and favorites, offering 100 production-ready presets

• Resizable high-definition UI with undo and redo parameter changes

Tapewave provides an authentic cassette experience inside your DAW, allowing you to effortlessly dial in everything from subtle warmth to the textured sound of lo-fi, degraded tape.
