New hardware Offers Analog Tape Simulation

The ATS-1 Analog Tape Simulator is the first product that uses the AnaMod process for modeling complex analog circuitry entirely in the analog domain. Specially developed analog building blocks are 'coded' to emulate the behavior of a complex analog system. Unlike digital plug-ins or processor-based outboard gear, there is no latency, and no A/D or D/A conversions to compromise the sound. The result is a faithful recreation of the original response, without using the original analog hardware.

All of the important features of a two-track analog tape machine are found in the ATS-1, including speed selection, bias, LF record and HF Repro EQ, and the option of adding tape hiss, if desired. The reference 'record' level, as indicated on the illuminated VU meters, can be adjusted from 0 to +12 dBu in 3 dB increments.

The ATS-1 accurately models the behavior of specific tape machines and tape formulations, and allows the user to select from up to four machine and tape types. Optional machine and tape types will be available on easy-to-install SIMM cards.

By popular demand, wow and flutter is not included.

The ATS-1 features:

• Two channels of analog tape simulation
• Up to four tape machine models
• Up to four tape formulation models
• 7.5, 15 and 30 ips speed selection
• Bias, LF and HF EQ, and Hiss
• User-installable upgrade cards

Pricing and Availability:
TBA

  And your point is what exactly?

  This was launched at the NAMM show three weeks ago, does that make it any less relevant? Does it become instantly obsolete? Sonicstate probably overlooked it because they were busy with the 200 or so stories and videos that they put online during the show - how many did Future Music manage? Better late than never eh?

  You obviously need to get out more...

  Oh Please... Tape simulation/emulation by various means has been "News" for about 20 years now with the same results -- Nothing sounds like tape.
