In a video uploaded to YouTube, Spitfire Audio has explained the thoughts behind the new Tape piano plug-in.
Spitfire Audio explains that “in April 2022 we recorded this upright piano and processed it using vintage tape machines for that coveted lo-fi piano sound.
“Featuring tape loops, echoes, and even a magnetic card reader” users can “use the variation slider to move from warm and wobbly to gritty and unpredictable.”
The plug-in is completely free and is available as VST2, VST3, AAX and AU, so it can be used directly into your preferred DAW.

This release comes in the middle of a slew of releases from Spitfire Audio, who has just released the latest addition to its Abbey Road One: Film Scoring Selections sample library series, Thematic Horns.
Promising “the iconic sound of cinema”, the library consists of an “agile” eight-piece horn section recorded in Abbey Road’s Studio One; the same studio used to record the iconic scores of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Avengers: Endgame and much more.
