TAPEDESK
TAPEDESK is the modeling of a full analog signal fl ow using simulations of both professional tape
recorder and a console bus.
The graphic interface has three areas: the console input channel on the left side, the tape simula-
tor in the middle, and the console mix bus on the right side. The signal path begins at the input
channel, travels through the tape machine,
and then ends up at the mix channel. The next
chapter includes a diagram and explains why
we joined the console channels with a tape
machine. But, in a few words, this is the setup
necessary to have the most accurately modeled analog reproduction, with the same warm
sound you have with real instruments.

You may notice that the console and the tape machine have in-
dependent power switches. This means that you can use each
component by itself, if you prefer.
