Chew. Bend. Magnetize.
Tape Eater is a dual-engine tape-modulation and cassette-depth processor that transforms instability into emotion. Built in collaboration with Tchad Blake, it combines a physically-modeled cassette system with a “chew” section that mimics the warped randomness of a swallowed tape, complete with pitch drops, magnetic drift, and a lo-fi speaker.
At its heart, Tape Eater features two distinct engines:
The Cassette Tape Section: a physical model of a real tape path hidden under the lid, recreating the depth, bias, tone shaping, azimuth drift, and natural compression that make tape machines so engaging. This part of the plugin is both suited for transient and melodic instruments.
The Chew Engine: a modulation system inspired by the moment a cassette gets "eaten." It generates organic pitch instability, warble, and random dropouts through physically-driven algorithms "Magnetosis", extended with Advanced Chew Controls for randomness, stereo drift, and AM modulation. This part of the plugin is mostly suited for melodic instruments.
Together, they form an expressive instrument equally capable of subtle warmth, haunting modulation, and total tape chaos.
Tape Eater also includes a built-in speaker simulator and input/output drive stage, allowing users to push the signal like a true hardware box.
Designed to feel tactile and alive, Tape Eater invites artists to explore imperfection not as a flaw, but as a new dimension of sound.
