Tape MELLO-Fi is a lo-fi tape effect plugin that models the sonic character of a vintage Mellotron M400 tape-playback keyboard, allowing you to impart authentic analog tape degradation and mechanical imperfections to any audio track. It captures the signature sound of worn, repeatedly-used Mellotron tapes through controls for saturation, pitch variations, tape wear, and mechanical noise. With both subtle and extreme settings available, Tape MELLO-Fi makes modern audio sound like it is being played from vintage analog tape, delivering instantly audible results that can give tracks a distinctive retro character.
