When I first read Spitfire Audio‘s press material boldly saluting the new Tape Synths collaboration with analog artists Blankfor.ms as “complex sonic metamorphosis” and “endless analog inspiration” I remained skeptical . . . until I started playing through the presets.

In this checking-out video, we explore the presets of the new instrument and I share my thoughts along the way.
Oh, and excuse the strange video issue – which is stretching the GUI a little. My screen recording was having a strange issue I couldn’t resolve but I wanted to get this out for you to hear the instrument ASAP.
