Explore sonic degradation and recombination with Tape, a collection of hundreds of individually handcrafted and uniquely-styled percussive strikes, stingers, multisamples and effects that will burn right through your mix.
Tape’s unique sound comes from acoustic recordings he captured through destroyed cassette and microcassette tapes, then carefully twisted and mangled into a distinctive collection of easy “out-of-the-box” content for all of your electronic and hybrid percussion needs.
Tape is perfect for minimalist, EDM, IDM, dubstep, chillwave, glitch, post rock, soundtrack, downtempo, dub and ambient music.
It’s also fantastic for sci-fi sound design and creating user interface SFX for games and apps.
When developing the concept for Tape, we were inspired by the gritty, “lo-fi” and “dusty” quality of various sound sources fed into decades-old tape recorders.
The variable speed, wow and flutter effects, and mechanical sounds all come together to create something very dark and powerful.
Armed with this knowledge we set out on a journey of sound design and discovery for several months, all the while ensuring to maintain the original gritty tape qualities at every stage.
All of the sounds are designed for complete cohesion, so that any sound can blend or be sequenced with any other sound in the library.
To this end, you can achieve great results simply by turning on the arpeggiator, tweaking the sequencer dialog and mashing a bunch of keys—the results will surprise you!
The library comes equipped with flexible control features, like attack, release, transient offset, dynamic swelling, filter type selection, resonant filter sweep and a robust Arpeggiator system that provides a full range of custom dynamic arpeggiation modes and step sequencer pattern creation options.
There’s also a complete DSP effects rack, including convolution reverb with dozens of unique spaces, such as cathedrals, churches, halls, bunkers, garages, tunnels, chambers, rooms and plenty of otherworldly FX impulses to fully explore and endless variety of strange and unexpected sonic manipulations.
This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later.
Kontakt is an industry-standard advanced virtual instrument software platform.

This is a standard Kontakt open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support it and can only run it in a limited “demo mode”.
However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats.
The special Libraries tab doesn’t support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab, or import this library into the Kontakt database and Quickload tools for easy navigation, loading and organization.
