AIR Music Technology has launched a new audio plugin which delivers the vintage vibe of tape with colorful saturation, lo-fi textures, and expressive performance controls.
An adaptation of the popular iOS tape cassette FX app created in collaboration with MSXII Audio, Fly Tape II comes with an intuitive, easy-to-explore user interface that features retro button controls and 8 independent tape-style modes—with additional sub controls per mode to mangle, stretch, lo-fi, and retro-fly your sound.
Built for dynamic change-ups and expressive shifts, Fly Tape II invites you to add movement with special sonic moments you can automate or play live.
Crunch your drums, reverse and saturate your mix bus, tape stop your breaks, put your string pads into the vintage realm, or warble and stretch your electric pianos into a perfect fit for your mix. With the addition of an independent NOISE slider, you can bring just the right amount of tape hiss and noise into the overall blend.
Available in VST/VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and Mac and standalone on MPC, Fly Tape II is on sale for the intro price of $24.99 USD at Plugin Boutique and from the AIR store until October 13th, 2025 (regular $49.99 USD).
