Tape Mello-Fi by Arturia is just the plugin thought for every nostalgic musician soul who’s realizing that they were born in the wrong era. But do not despair! This plugin has the power to take any beat, sound, and project and infuse them with those unique and imperfect behaviors of tape: pitchy flutters, subtle distortion, warm saturation, and velvety smooth filtered sounds.
