In reply to dreamer. Can't figure out how to install on Linux (ubuntu 18.04). Would like to install it, but doing so isn't as easy as I thought or hoped it would be...

Bit of a miss-characterization here, LV2 is a plugin format that is available for all platforms so it should be in the first list.

The VST3, LV2 and Standalone work also on Linux. Information that is completely missing from the article.

In reply to Tomislav Zlatic. I was going to ask precisely that... should we forget FerricTDS or is still the main gem?

In reply to Ike. In all honesty, I like simple juce layout because it won't distract me from music

In reply to Noisecraft. It's similar to FerricTDS, but with added lo-fi functionality. FerricTDS didn't emulate the noise and wow/flutter. But it's still my favorite tape plugin ever (wish it was 64-bit :( but oh well).

So there’s finally something modern that comes close to FerricTDS but in 64bit?

In reply to Ike. A fancy interface would be great, but I have to say that the current one works well, too. I like the fact that it's fully resizable and the color scheme is easy on the eyes.

In reply to marti garaughty. It's not really a designed interface, those are just the generic knobs and sliders included in the JUCE framework. I hope Jatin will continue to develop this further and at some point also add an overhauled user interface.

Well, this seems an on – going project, which was actually never meant to enter the Audio – World.
The Developer is pretty responsive & seems interested in Bug – Reports, also frequently Updating;
In Case you want to help a bit to continue this little Gem and make it even better:
https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=536112
It still has some Bugs here & there, yet imho – this is surely a very unique & good sounding tape – emulation.
So, I actually check his Github & that thread pretty regular to see, if there was an Update etc. – also worth mentioning might be the other circuit – based plugins, he is offering on his site. interesting stuff, to say at least.

ableton project crashing after using the vst3 version on keyzone classic with no probs for around 1h or so. i just closed the prject reopened it and serious error crash appears. crash was cosntant on all backups. i then disabled the plugins by renaming it, opened the prject and used the vst2 version. crash disappeared.

plugin sounds great tho!
