Each Microtape usually contains a single set of tape saturated samples, with an interface that enables full control over how 'damaged' the tape should sound, as well as how expressive the instrument is - having controls over velocity, velocity to filter cutoff (tone), vibrato and ADSR envelopes. Tape speed is also adjustable, allowing for slow and drifty or fast and warbly tape effects, as well as a reverse option for backwards sounds.
Each pack contains five token presets (with some exceptions) - often with different effects added.
Price: £2.99 each apart from Microtapes 10 and 12, which are £3.49.
A full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 4.2.4 is required for these libraries.
