AudioThing has announced an update to its faithful emulation plugin of the Roland Space Echo RE-201, an early ’70s vintage tape echo.
Version 2.1 of Outer Space comes with various improvements and fixes.
As the original unit, Outer Space features a tape echo section with three playback heads and two spring reverb tanks. We have modelled three different tape frequency responses and saturations, along with all the analog imperfections of tape recording/playback.
We have 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.
Changes in Outer Space v2.1
- Added: Graphics Controls (Brightness and Contrast).
- Improved: Contrast of Oversample UI.
- Improved: Preset browsing avoids loud clicks.
- Improved: Preset import from v1 (oversample parameter).
- Improved: Mode Knob scrolling with Mouse Wheel.
- Fixed: Crash on Windows with some presets.
- Fixed: Longer synced values issue with 16x oversample.
- Fixed: Mono Sum not working correctly.
- Fixed: Oversample parameter not locking.
Regularly priced 69 USD/EUR, Outer Space is on sale for 39 USD/EUR until August 31st, 2024. The plugin is available for Windows, Mac and Linux in VST/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP formats.
