Louder Than Liftoff introduces TAPE•C Colour Module

Louder Than Liftoff is proud to announce the new TAPE•C Colour Module. TAPE•C is a fully analog tape machine emulation module for the Colour format that convincingly captures the magnetic magic of 15 IPS tape.  This design is an idealized emulation inspired by the hot-rodded Studer and MCI decks in Brad’s personal studio. It combines all our favorite aspects of recording to tape without any of the calibration, maintenance, or noise floor frustrations.

TAPE•C captures the essence of tape: the subtle nuances of distortion, saturation, frequency shifts (including low frequency head bump), and most importantly phase shifts that occur when a signal is recorded and played back from real tape.  Adapting our design of the TAPE•79 Mojo Module (for the Silver Bullet mk2) we created a Colour module that was simple in operation, but complex and nuanced in sonic result.

A set of dip switches on the module allows the user to fine-tune the head bump and high frequency response of TAPE•C to emulate different types of tape decks.  

Features:

Mono tape machine emulation
100% analog hardware circuits
Modeled on 15 IPS operation
LF Head Bump - selectable by dipswitch
HF Response - selectable by dipswitch

This module is compatible with all Colour module hosts like Chroma, Chroma+, Mister Focus, Silver Bullet mk2, and all DIYRE Colour products (Colour Palette, Colour Duo, and CP5 Mic Pre).

Availability: now shipping

Price: $159

We are excited for everyone to check this out. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer in this thread.
