Virsyn Releases Tap Delay for iOS

"Tap Delay combines the warm sound of vintage tape echo machines with a modern, step sequencer-like tapped delay engine which continues the tradition of the tape echo machines into the 21st century."

iTunes: Tap Delay - VirSyn


Back in the “old days”, producers and engineers created delay and echo effects using tape machines. Tap Delay combines the warm sound of vintage tape echo machines with a modern, step sequencer-like tapped delay engine which continues the tradition of the tape echo machines into the 21st century.

#### Intro offer 50% off #####

The Tape simulation includes all relevant aspects for the recreation of a faithful analog tape sound:

• Compression and Saturation
• Tape hiss
• Tape head bias
• Wow and Flutter (Tape speed instability)
• Smooth speed / delay time changes

Three feedback filters with hipass/lowpass and bandpass characteristic simplify the creation of authentic dub echo effects.

The built-in Limiter allows for endless feedback sounds.

Use live input from any source - Microphone, Guitar, Audiobus and Inter App Audio - or take a song from your iTunes library for processing.

Features:

• Multi-tap delay machine
• 24 taps for rhythmic delay effects
• Tape simulation ( Saturation, Noise, Flutter )
• Alias free tape saturation through oversampling.
• MIDI controllable including Tempo sync
• Delay loop equalizer for dub effect.
• Glitch free simulation of variable tape speeds.
• Spatial echo rotation effect.
• Audiobus 2 compatible with state saving
• IAA compatible ( Auria, Cubasis, Garageband ).
• Integrated iTunes player."

AVP Synth VAS-100 Multitracked (Official demo)

Published on Jul 28, 2015 Avp Synth

"All the synth lines are coming from the VAS-100 - monophonic virtual analog synthesizer to portrait it's different sides and nasal tones.

In this demo you can see and hear the VAS-100 - a monophonic virtual analog synthesizer. While being very compact and light, this synth has a DSP engine which carefully replicates the sound of the Soviet Era synthesizers (like Polivoks, Alisa and etc.), while having a distinctive tone of its own.

"These where designed and build by Jessica Rylan and are no longer in manufacture.
I am not a capitalist or a dealer, I just want these beauties to go to the right home.
I have loved using these and this is the second set I have owned, the first pair I stupidly sold, regretted it and tried to buy again, unfortunately they had stopped making them and it took me about a year and a half to track down another complete set.

The Little Boy Blue I bought from Allesandro Cortini (NIN), it has a few of the knob caps missing, 100% working, a few minor scratches to the paint underneath.

Jealous Heart I bought from a chap in Sweden, 100% working, a few little scratches underneath, the odd tiny paint chip.

These are designed to be used, last forever and built like a very well made thing. A lot of thought has gone into these, Rylan worked for Don Buchla and wanted to build something with as much sonic capability as a full blown modular, but could be slung in a bag for a gig.

Both units can process external audio from guitar, microphone, synth, drum machine or whatever else. They are sold as a pair (you will want both) and they work extremely well together, producing an extreme range of sound ideal for design, performance and sampling.

The price is fixed, I have them for sale elsewhere so the auction may end early and my price is very reasonable, the first set cost me loads more . Included is a set of 6 stackable pomona cables, I use a lot of banana gear and it is easy to make them up, you don’t need the expense of using pomona, you can get some really good stackable’s elsewhere you don’t have to solder.
