What Users Are Saying
Real feedback from the community
"Ok wow. Did some critical listening with studio monitor quality equipment. I think this is the best real tape machine sounding plugin I have ever heard."
"Wasn't sure what to expect when you un-clicked bypass but wow, it really does something tape-like. Very 'swampy', kind of 'liquidy', and dare I say it, quite 'warm'. It's as if the song now sounds like it's wading through mud with it on (in a good way)."
"I saw the ad, got the trial, tested it for 5 minutes and bought it... great tape sound and affordable!"
"This one is 'another' tape emulation, but it is DIFFERENT!! Nice!! When can we get it?!"
"Sounds perfect to me. Can not wait!!!"
"It sounds very good!"
"SUPER NICE G !!!!!!"
"Thanks, G! It's great to know that you continuously improve the plugins for the best possible accuracy."

Neural Tape Saturation
At the heart of TM700 V3 is NCM (Neural Component Modeling) trained on a legendary American 2-track 1/4" tape machine with SM9 tape formulation. The main panel gives you direct control over the core tape saturation engine and dynamics.
- Drive: Push the tape from subtle warmth to heavy saturation
- Soft / Hard: Two bias modes for different saturation character
- Autogain: Automatic level compensation as you drive harder
- Speed: Variable tape speed control for tonal shaping
- Tape Type (Old / New): Two distinct tape character modes
- Comp: Independent tape compression control for tape dynamics
- Spectrum Analyzer: Real-time frequency visualizer
- Phase Correlation Meter: Monitor stereo phase alignment
Advanced Controls
The Advanced panel reveals a complete set of tape character controls, tone shaping tools, and signal routing. Add authentic wow & flutter, tape hiss, and dropout effects. Shape your tone with the 2-band parametric EQ and add dimension with spatial width.
- Input / Output Trim: Precise signal level control
- Dry/Wet Mix: Parallel processing blend
- Wow & Flutter: Authentic tape speed modulation
- Tape Hiss: Real sampled tape noise blending
- Dropout: Realistic tape dropout effects
- 2-Band Parametric EQ: With frequency, gain & Q
- Spatial Width: Stereo image enhancement
- LP/HP Filters: For precise tone sculpting
NCM Technology
Machine learning meets analog tape
Why Neural Beats Traditional Modeling
Traditional tape emulations use mathematical approximations of analog behavior. NCM (Neural Component Modeling) takes a fundamentally different approach — our neural networks are trained directly on real analog hardware at 96kHz, learning the actual nonlinear behavior, harmonic interactions, and frequency-dependent responses that equations simply cannot capture.
The result is authentic tape character that responds dynamically to your input, just like the original machine. Every nuance of tape saturation, head bump, and compression is preserved in the neural model.
