@Ahornberg: Thank you for your great modules!
I just noticed today that the Tape Recorder does not work with VCVâs native âSave selection asâ process â the module is missing upon re-import. In contrast, Tape Inspector imports as expected.
However, importing via STRIP++ (Expandable sequential switch - #8 by Alphagem-O) works fine for both modules.
Thanks! I soon will take a closer look at this issue.
I fixed the bug. So now you can save Tape Recoder modules inside of selections, but you canât save the recorded audio inside of a selection. Actuallly recorded audio can only be saved inside patches and presets.
Hello there, isnât the âMemoryâ modules by Stochastic aiming to do the very same thing as this in VCV? He is developing a tape scrubber style update for those modules. Always good to have a virtual version for free as well. The hardware modules do sound good though but wonât be cheap? ÂŁ200 a piece?
No, not really. Itâs simply a tape loop. In Memory, there are independent moveable heads for reading and writing audio. So Memory can do a lot more than with just a tape loop. And yes, these hardware modules are pretty expensive ![]()
I have a created a similar effect with a Walkman, Harmonizer Pedal, EHX Mini Canyon and a Chorus delay pedal. Just tweaked the Harmonizer knobs to get a pitch shifter fx. Iâm sure others have done this in the past but I like it. There is audio, Iâll upload that to Soundcloud tomorrow. Thanks for all your great works. Much appreciated. Just realised I never put the track onto Soundcloud, whoops.

The scrubbing update is out, by the way (version 2.0.15).
In tape machines, the heads (largely) stay in place and the tape moves, but for a Memory ensemble, the âtapeâ is stationary and the heads move around it in a fairly unlimited way. This is so not how we imagine tape machines that I deliberately avoided the use of the term âtapeâ in my documentation and naming.
