Analog saturation and color for your mixes

With the ability to select different tape types and settings, you can give your mixes the typical analog "glue," perfect for adding cohesion and musicality to any production. Every detail of the ATR-102 circuit, including transformers and Repro, Sync and Input paths, has been precisely modeled.
