Rabbit Tape V2 brings the warmth, character and beautiful imperfections of vintage tape machines into your DAW, from subtle analogue saturation to wobbly lo-fi textures.

Two tape machines are available: America for rich, warm analogue character and Germany for tighter, more precise colouration, each switchable between 7.5 and 15 IPS. Wow and Flutter recreate the organic pitch movement of vintage machines, while Grit and Drop Outs introduce worn-out tape character. Use it to add subtle glue to your mix bus, warm up vocals, fatten drums or turn synths into lo-fi textures.
