TAIP vs Mid

Warm up your sound TAIP brings the true sound and behavior of analog tape to iOS with the power of AI. Use it to add organic saturation and life to any source that needs a little extra spark. About TAIP TAIP offers a faithful, AI-based emulation of a beloved vintage tape machine from the early 70s. You’ll get the same harmonic richness and nonlinear magic as the classic hardware with features that take you beyond the limits of the original. TAIP’s unique approach to emulation uses a neural network in place of traditional DSP techniques to accurately decipher the magic characteristics of tape. The result is a happy marriage between classic sound and modern versatility. And we encourage you to drive it hard! TAIP Features: - Drive: TAIP’s most important parameter - add a subtle touch of warmth or extreme saturation (or anything in between). - Mix: Add tape saturation in parallel with the dry signal. Or combine the “Wear” and “Mix” parameters to create tape flanging. - Model: ”Single” brings you one tape emulation, while “Dual” combines two tape machines in a series under the hood. - Lo / Hi-Shape: Saturates the low/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum. - Glue: Exaggerates the compression effect that naturally occurs in tape recordings. - Noise: Adds more tape noise – or removes it entirely. - Presence: Brings back the brightness that gets lost on tape recordings. - Wear: Recreates the instabilities of a worn-out tape machine and subtly alters the tape speed. - Input: Lets you distort the signal more - or less - without affecting the output level. - Auto-Gain: Lets you add more drive while keeping a consistent plugin output.

Ever wonder what lies between the L/R and M/S representations? Mid-Side Continuum extends the definition of mid-side encoding to create a smooth, continuous interval allowing in-between values and gradual changes. Channel mode switches can now be turned into faders, opening up new modulation possibilities as well. The algorithm used by the plugin is a true extension of the mid-side encoder/decoder concept and doesn't involve any cross-fading or other artificial constructs. The plugin can be used in two ways: • In standalone mode, as a width-preserving panning effect, or a special modulation effect for spatially balanced sounds • In paired mode, allowing other effects to operate anywhere between L/R and M/S modes, with modulation options available FEATURES: • Provides a new kind of spatial modulation effect for stereo signals • Can be used as a panner that doesn't squash wide components (existing ambience, reverb, stereo FX), strongly panning narrow parts at the same time • A great companion for delays or delay-based effects: explore adding space or change the panoramic character without re-configuring delay taps • Turn any stereo effect or effects chain into a M/S one (or any graduation on the L/R - M/S curve), by sandwiching them between a pair of Mid-Side Continuum instances • Unlike panning, stereo panning, or binaural panning, Mid-Side Continuum preserves the exact geometry of the stereo field by using a lossless transform • Higher rates of change can be used to create additional kinds of effects (chorus, warble/flutter), depending on the width characteristics of the original input • A tempo sync capable LFO is available to add automatic modulation; the LFO phase can be offset to allow precise timing control and alignment THE PANNER FOR REVERB-RICH SOUNDS: Panning high-ambience and reverb-rich sounds need no longer result in squashed stereo images. The exact, full width of the stereo field is preserved when using Mid-Side Continuum as a panning tool. Unlike binaural panning, the overall stereo frequency response is kept maximally flat, thanks to the used algorithm's audio engineering-focused feature set. In fact, Mid-Side Continuum's algorithm is a lossless, completely reversible one (based on True Pan's technology). WRAP ANY EFFECT TO CHANGE / MODULATE THEIR STEREO MODE: Two Mid-Side Continuum instances can be conveniently linked in a way that the second one cancels out the transformation, restoring the original sound. Once linked, the second plugin will automatically re-align if parameters are changed in the first one, without missing a single sample. Between these two points, any number of audio effects can be inserted, all of which will receive the transformed signal instead of the original L/R one. This setup can be used in multiple ways: either to just turn any stereo plugin into a M/S one, or to modulate the stereo field of the wet signals (while keeping the dry signal intact) without the need for setting up additional routing, thus keeping tracks neatly self-contained. VERSATILE EXTENSION TO DELAY-BASED EFFECTS: • Alter stereo delay patterns or turn a mono multi-tap delay into a stereo one on the fly • Instead of having to choose from the two, explore any setting between L/R and M/S delay modes to select the best-fitting stereo response • Remove excessive L/R slappiness without losing any stereo width by spatially equalizing the delay output, filling in directions not populated by L/R taps • Improve the clarity of the mid channel / mono mix when combining panned delays with shorter notes or more rhythmic passages • Lessen any "clockwork-like" quality of panned delays that may be experienced with some instruments or passages • Change or fine-tune delay patterns that emerge in the mono mix when using stereo delays PLEASE NOTE: • An Audio Unit v3 compatible host app is required to use this plugin
