The Fly Tape II Effects Plug-In from AKAI Professional is a desktop update of the iOS app that enables you to add the characteristics and charm of cassette/tape recording to your digital music production. Mangle, stretch, and add lo-fi quality to your audio with Fly Tape II, which features retro button controls and eight independent tape-style modes, each with additional sub controls per mode. Fly Tape II works as a plug-in with DAWs running in Windows and Mac Systems that support AU, VST2, and VST4 plug-in protocols or works in standalone mode on MPC systems.
