I'll check it out later but it's basically more of the same FX we already have. I wish they make more unique FX and, or better version of some others FX like the Phaser - I like the one on the SP505 better.

That's super fair, but I'm stoked on the Roland tape echo style delay with spring reverb

Would be nice to have more control than is currently available in Lo Fly Tape for saturation

Is there a tape saturation in the included factory FX I missed?

Flavor Pro and fly tape 2 both have emulated tape saturation fx. Interested to know what they are doing behind the scenes, remember SP1200 ring was just the decimator, so I'm never particularly confident that are are doing much more than just applying a bit of distortion, compression and EQ on these things. Same goes for all the 'vintage' emulations.

Finally Akai has seen the light. What VST/AU makers have know for years is that users buy plugins because of a shiny UI.
Other than that I agree that what we get could easily be done in upgrades of existing plugins.
Making Tape Echo is IMHO quite daring. There are loads of emulations out there and I guess enough real models to tell if Air gets close to the original.
I hope someone tries to analyse if the new tape saturation sounds any different than the current ones.

Eeach plugin is 99$ "regular" price. An no cross-grade for those who paid for the Tape Double Track.
Well, someone has to pay for the purchase of NI. Or the devs to fix that darn MPC OS bugs. Let's all pray the money goes to the devs.

It's like paying for followers on social media... you don't really have new followers, but it looks like you do...
You don't really have new tape saturation, but it looks like you do...
