Description

Tape Saturation (Max for Live)

Tape Saturation is a Max for Live audio effect that emulates the warmth, instability, and texture of vintage tape machines. With a clean, hardware-inspired interface, it delivers musical saturation and character without unnecessary complexity.

Three simple controls let you shape everything from subtle analog warmth to gritty lo-fi degradation:

Drive adds harmonic tape saturation

Wobble introduces tape-style pitch instability

Crackle adds noise and vintage texture

Perfect for drums, synths, vocals, and buses when you want movement, grit, and analog flavor.
