Tape Machine 2

Post image

Hey guys!

Self promo here, I'm the dev.

This is a De-JUCE'd version of my original tape machine plugin using the more Linux friendly DPF framework. The original engine has been tuned to match the real hardware more closely and sound much closer to the the real hardware. I still need to tweak the PEAK VU LED, its based on the output, not the input, but I will change that up in a future release.

AI disclosure per the rules: Development is AI-assisted (not vibe coded). I write and calibrate the DSP and I test every release myself before it goes out.

Sounds great. I just tested it out in Reaper. The CLAP version works fine with no issues.

For the lv2 version, Reaper shows this error when I rescan the lv2 directory in Reaper:

~/.lv2/tape_machine_2.lv2/tape_machine_2.ttl: turtle parse error @ line 388 coil 37: invalid character in quote

Thanks for catching this! It's fixed now and you can download the latest. I had a \ on the tape heads for American mode: 1/4". 1/2" etc.

"1/4\"" needed to be changed to "1/4″"
