Magneto

The Magneto VPI for the exact digital emulation of a professional tape machine is now available in the version 3.0.

The reproduction of the analog circuitry has been further refined so that it is now possible for the user to have a direct influence on the non-linear distortion behavior of the virtual tape machine via the 'Contour' slider.

Furthermore, the "Tape Head Frequency Response" section now offers more extensive operation possibilities: in the low frequency area, the effect of the tape head frequencies is mapped precisely via the "Accuracy" mode. Also, the size of the tape head width can be set via "Head Width". The level of enhancement / attenuation of the resulting frequencies can be determined with the "LF-Adjust" slider. In the high frequency area it is now also possible to define the edge frequency, the "Frequency" parameter, from where the enhancement / attenuation "HF-Ajust" is applied.

Besides the "Drive" slider for the amount of tape compression, there are the established functions such as "Tape Speed", switching between 15 and 30 ips, as well as "Audition" for the loudness corrected bypass switching. The functionality of this outstanding tool creates an impressively warm sound characteristic for digital recordings.
