VTAPE is a set of three plugins based on a thorough simulation of the famous sound of analog tape machines.

VTAPE Saturator simulates the recording and playback on an analog tape mastering machine.

VTAPE Delay combines this sound with a modern, step sequencer-like tapped delay engine which leads the tradition of the tape echo machines into the 21st century.

VTAPE Flanger simulates the legendary "Tape flanging" effect which can be achieved through the playback of two tape machines running at slightly different speed.

The Pearl Syncussion SY-1 is an extremely rare analogue drum synthesizer originally manufactured in 1979 by Pearl Musical Instruments.

This freaky little box is capable of producing a huge palette of percussive sounds, powerful kicks and experimental sound effects which carry a vintage sound inherent to its unique drum synthesis methods and extremely raw sounding oscillators!

After finally getting our hands on one of these rare instruments we just knew we had to sample it!

Syncussion Drums by Wave Alchemy captures the Pearl Syncussion's unique sonic character by offering no less than 1885 carefully recorded 24-bit drum samples. Additionally, a number of sounds were re-sampled through our EMU SP-12 Turbo to obtain a more lo-fi and gritty sound.

VOCALOTHEQUE" is a sampler instrument, made from recorded samples of a vocal ensemble (5 men and 5 women). Our main goal was to make an instrument that was full of life and random overtones. "Vocalotheque" is made to sound more like voices of regular people than sterile, an overly polished academic choir. The voices we recorded are those of professionals and regular people that can really sing. This time we used our favourite way to recreate natural sound - a "round robin loops" of sampler groups: each note has 5 changing variations to enhance the feeling of natural singing that is never exactly the same.

Main features:
- 76 presets – 18 ensemble and 58 solo presets of different articulations.
- Range – two octaves for each preset. Men – E2-E4, women – E3-E5).
- Voices were recorded in a studio, keeping the sound pure. You can add your favourite reverb, other preferred effects or use pre-configured KONTAKT effects.
- Library contains 9500 samples (24 bit 44100 Hz .aiff). Uncompressed size is 6.52 GB.
- Dedicated to creative music and soundtrack producers, who need to add vocals with "public" character to their compositions.
Available formats: EXS24 and KONTAKT (version 4.2 or later).
