Audiopunks & Tchad Blake introducing Tape Eater Plugin

TAPE EATER

Tape Eater is a sonic experiment from Audiopunks & Tchad Blake. A Tape Mangler built around a physically modeled cassette deck system that celebrates the beauty of malfunction through swallowed-tape randomness, pitch bend, magnetic drift, and speaker coloration that transforms instability into emotion.

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 tone 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.
