Discount 🥰 AudioThing Outer Space 😉

AudioThing Outer Space is a faithful emulation plug-in of a famous vintage tape echo made in the early seventies.

As the original unit, Outer Space features a tape echo section with three playback heads and two spring reverb tanks.

Engineers modelled three different tape frequency responses and saturations, along with all the analog imperfections of tape recording/playback.

AudioThing also modelled the ballistic response of the delay rate (repeat rate) which can create eerie pitch shifts (due to the Doppler effect), one of the classic tape echo-based sound effects.

SPACE ECHO

Introduced in 1974, the Roland Space Echo RE-201 was an instant hit among engineers, guitar players, and dub pioneers. A real analog system providing both tape echo and spring reverb for a rich and organic sound.

TAPE MODELLING

We’ve modelled three different tape types.

The original RT-1L, a more modern replacement, and an older worn out tape. Each tape will affect the sound in a subtle but different way, especially at higher feedback (Intensity) settings.

WOW/Flutter, Ducking, and other parameters will also change according to the selected tape, creating different amount of pitch and volume changes.

Changing the speed of the repetitions (Repeat Rate) will also affect the tape frequency response.

MODE SELECTOR
