AudioThing Updated Outer Space Vintage Tape Echo Plugin To V.1.10 & Adds New Features

You have to admit that the Space Echo RE-201 was one of Roland’s masterpieces. To date, the device is very much in demand on the market and lose none but increase in value. Since the purchase price is currently quite high, the care of the product also cost money again, many musicians are looking for alternatives that can reproduce this characteristic sound. Some time ago, AudioThing has released a good emulation of this vintage tape echo which is on top affordable for every musician.

Today, the company released an update for the Outer Space plugin that adds an additional panel to the plugin with new creative features.

Outer Space is a faithful emulation plugin of a famous vintage tape echo made in the early seventies. As the original unit, Outer Space features an echo section with three playback heads and a spring reverb tank. We have modelled three different tape frequency responses and saturations, along with all the analog imperfections of tape recording/playback. We’ve also modelled the ballistic response of the delay rate (repeat rate) which can create eerie pitch shifts (due to the Doppler effect), one of the classic tape echo-based sound effects.

We’ve modelled three different tape types. The original RT-1L, a more modern replacement, and an older worn out tape. Each tape will affect the sound in a subtle but different way, especially at higher feedback (Intensity) settings. WOW/Flutter will also change according to the selected tape, creating different amount of pitch and volume nonlinearities.Changing the speed of the repetitions (Repeat Rate) will also affect the tape frequency response. Just like the original unit, with the Mode selector you can choose 12 different combinations of echo playback heads and reverb (4 Echo only, 7 Echo+Reverb, 1 Reverb only).
