While modern recording engineers and producers are used to the huge variety of effects options available these days, tape machines were the first devices used in the recording studio as effect processors. From echo and flanging to the warmth and saturation of the actual tape itself, the entire early history of music would sound completely different if these recording decks weren’t employed in this way. Even though there are currently a number of plugins that emulate entire tape machines down to the smallest degree, the Deco plugin stands alone as the only piece of software that accurately recreates the studio workflow of two tape decks working in tandem. It is the timed/speed relationship between these two decks that creates the phasing, true tape flanging, chorus, echo and double tracking effects that the Sun Studios and Abbey Roads of the world relied on for all of those famous early tracks, and it’s now available in an easy-to-use and utterly convincing plugin.
Rack-mount digital delays of the 80s ushered in a new era of audio effects, where the innovative electronic designs generated clean delays that sounded altogether fresh and new, but with special and intriguing sonic characteristics. Decades later, these sounds remain as distinctive and inspiring as ever.
Feed audio into El Capistan, and all the warm and distinctive qualities and subtle nuances of vintage tape echo instantly combine to create an unmistakable atmosphere. Everything from classic slapback echoes to psychedelic feedback explorations have stunning richness and depth, responding to each note and each turn of a knob in a musically-inspiring way. Turn up the repeats for organic delay feedback with just the right amount of grit, or dial in some spring reverb to further enhance the sense of space.
Introducing The AX Chorus is based on the ACE modeled MN3009 Bucket Brigade (BBD) chip found in both the AX73 and AX60 synthesizers. We developed our plugin with the chorus 100% the same as the mono input versions found in the original synthesizers and then added the option of making it a stereo effect. As Akai never released the chorus as a separate effect we envisioned how it could have looked in the 1980s, and have included both the AX73 and AX60 chorus effects in one unit.
The AXFX AAX/CLAP/VST2 8-unit effect rack plugin is based on the “external” effects from our flagship AX73 synthesizer. The AXFX lets you use these 8 versatile 1980s style effects on any synth, guitar, vocals, or other audio source. The AXFX includes over 100 presets designed by renowned sound designers such as Daniel Stawczyk, Charis Linos, and Solidtrax. For more information, check out the searchable online manual.
