A dedicated Tape Age knob lets you decide whether you want the full bandwidth of brand new, glossy tape - or the warm top end of older well-used tape. A component of that was replicating the tonal effects that the tape medium itself can have on your signal depending on the age and condition of the tape itself, as well as taking into account the significant effect of the bias setting of the tape machine.
Our goal with El Capistan was to offer the most authentic tape echo experience in a modern, compact form factor. (C) Sound on Sound mode for tape-style looping with instant tape splice, bulk erase, and two tape speeds.īetter With Age. (B) Tape motor runs at normal speed for lower fidelity with longer delay times. The Mode switch offers the following options: (A) Tape motor runs at double speed for higher fidelity with shorter delay times. This tape machine also features a sound on sound looper. The single tape head machine changes things up by running the tape at a fixed speed while the Time knob sets the delay time by adjusting the position of a sliding record head. The Mode switch selects which two playback heads are active: (A) Heads 1 and 2 are active.(B) Heads 2 and 3 are active. The multi tape head machine has the same three playback heads as the fixed version, but simultaneously uses two of the three playback heads to create rhythmic delays that groove with one another. Choose between: (A) short delay with 1/16 note tap tempo, (B) medium delay with dotted 1/8 note tap tempo, and (C) long delay with 1/4 note tap tempo. The Mode switch selects between three playback heads, each a specific distance from the record head for a specific delay interval. The fixed tape head machine creates a classic delay effect with tape speed controlled via the Time knob. El Capistan’s three different tape machines provide a huge variety of vintage delay sounds, offering unique functionality depending on what the Mode switch is set to. Ambient, washed-out echoes that dissolve into waves of noise.
