u-he has announced 9 September as the release date for its Satin tape effects plug-in for Windows and Mac, with 64-bit support for both platforms.

With its three operation modes, SATIN is an all-rounder: Studio mode is predestined for multichannel tape saturation effects, all optionally controlled from a single instance.

Delay mode offers complex multitap tape delays, and Flange does true through-zero tape flanging (think Small Faces “Itchycoo Park” or Hendrix “Bold as Love”). In all modes, the tape speed is continuously variable from 7.5 to 30 inches per second.

While aiming for a complete simulation of classic tape machines, u-he also decided to include the noise reduction circuits.
This is not spurious whimsy: the classic compander models can be used for decoding old tape recordings,
or for dynamic processing and colouration effects such as – a known trick amongst seasoned tape-ops – enhancing background vocals and e.g. acoustic guitars.

Since releasing their analogue synth plug-in Diva, u-he have been making a big thing of the accuracy of their models – SATIN is the next member of an ongoing series…

Satin features

Mix-and-match emulation spans all major historical developments in tape technology.

Multiple instances can be controlled from one panel – ‘glue’ several tracks together.

High-quality: internal sample rate up to 384kHz, continuous tape speed control.

All the ‘goodness’ of tape (saturation, transient-smoothing, HF compression etc.).

Full control over the ‘badness’ (head-bump, wow&flutter, asperity noise, hiss etc.).

Record / repro EQ standards (separately selectable), classic NR compander standards.

Extra FX modes: through-zero tape flanging, host-synchronizable 4-tap stereo delay.

Satin will be available to purchase on September 9th, 2013, for a 4-week introductory price of $89 USD (regular $129 USD).

 

Nice Hopefully it dose not have a high CPU load like some of there other plugins

 

this looks good. and that price aint bad. can't wait to see how it stacks up against Decapitator, Kramer Tape, Slate and Magnetic.

 

Yea', but all of that specified features gives me a feeling that this baby will be a killer

I've found the userguide. The setup is there too, located at uhedownloads.heckmannaudiogmb.netdna-cdn.com/satin
Good luck guessing the filename of it, cause you cannot access the directory

 

Please note that the above links are for release candidates which still have serious crash bugs. They are not the official demo.

The (hopefully) bug free demo version will be posted next Monday.

We would prefer if those links were taken down because we do not wish for our customers to accidentally install and use buggy versions.

Thanks,

It seems great, probably a must have!

 

I think the demo limitation (crackles every min) is a pain in the ass.

It's really difficult to demo it this way, because the noise drives me crazy.

I might buy the plugin for the intro price, though. I think I'll will be able to sell it later more or less for the same price (once the intro offer ended), if I don't like it.
