Delay and Flange: Build Your Dream Echo 🌀
Imagine crafting your own tape delay machine from scratch.

Go beyond emulation and design your own personalized delay experience. Add feedback, route signals, and tweak the Service Panel for extra tape echo magic. 🎶
Get Under the Hood with the Service Panel 🔧
The Service Panel gives you unprecedented control over your tape machine’s internal components. Adjust things like:
🎚️ Wow & Flutter – Create that signature tape wobble for added character.
🎧 Tape Head Gap & Azimuth – Alter frequencies and create spacey, off-center effects.
⚙️ EQ Circuit Models – Choose between various EQ curves to mimic your favorite tape machines or invent new sounds altogether.
Decoding: Restore or Reimagine Old Tapes 🏺
Satin is also the perfect tool for reviving old recordings. With its compander and circuit settings, Satin lets you decode tapes with specific noise reduction types, adjust EQ curves, and even breathe new life into poor-quality tapes. Turn your vintage finds into pristine, polished tracks or use them to create atmospheric, lo-fi textures. 🎚️
