<\/a><\/p>\nCountless customization options on offer to TD-201 users ultimately comes down to the flexible feature set, starting with its implementation of a complex multi-head MODE SELECTOR that allows for seamless transitioning between the playback heads so that they can quickly dial in their perfect room setup, effortlessly mixing reverberation and delay \u2014 just like when working with the vintage original. Further fine-tuning the perfect echo is perfectly possible by adjusting the depth (POS), volume (VOL), and stereo position (PAN) per playback head in the lower panel \u2014 nine parameters allowing for surgical-level precision in the workflow. Speedily synchronize TD-201\u2019s tape speed to the track tempo with the SYNC control; when using this feature, the echo will also follow the impulse initiated by the TAP button. Those that wish to go \u2018full-vintage\u2019 are encouraged to play around with a range of fine-tuning parameters providing control over NOISE, DROPOUTS, HEADROOM, FLUTTER, and MOTOR \u2014 all of which are hardware machine attributes \u2014 to dial in some randomness to make the echo sound even more authentic. Adjustable gain-staging provides TD-201 users with an ability to control both the pre- processing input gain level and the post-processing output gain level.<\/p>\n
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) operations are pipelined using the latest Apple Silicon and SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) instruction sets to ensure that the TD-201 vintage tape echo plug-in benefits from a high-performance operation \u2014 despite its very complex computations. Clearly, the GUI (Graphical User Interface) supports high-pixel density on both macOS and Windows systems, providing users of whatever persuasion with the most enjoyable experience, visually, on high DPI (Dots Per Inch) displays.<\/p>\n
Duly delivering the character of an increasingly-inaccessible hardware device that continues to make musical history but bypasses its inherent unpredictability and time-consuming usage in favor of countless customization options for maximum usability in an easy-to-use reimagining that effortlessly switches between old-school ping-pong to a deep space odyssey and everything in between, Black Rooster Audio\u2019s TD-201 is surely a must- have for anyone seeking that distinctive delay sound that has remained so sought after since Roland\u2019s revolutionary RE-201 arrived on the scene back in 1974 \u2014 albeit available from the comfort of their desktop (or laptop) as a virtual take on vintage tape echo, effectively bringing the unmistakable sound of an analog classic into the 21st century as an in-the-box tape delay. Indeed, it is all anyone ever wanted from a tape delay!<\/p>\n
TD-201 is available to purchase for a time-limited introductory promo price of only $29.00 USD \u2014 rising thereafter to its regular price of $99.00 USD \u2014 as a 64-bit AAX-, AU-, and VST-compatible plug-in for macOS (10.9 or later) and AAX- and VST-compatible plug-ins for Windows (7 or later) directly from Black Rooster Audio via its dedicated webpage, which also includes in-depth information (including some superb-sounding audio demos), here: https:\/\/blackroosteraudio.com\/en\/landing\/td-201<\/a><\/p>\n
