The classic sound of analog tape, plus Silk Red & Blue harmonic saturation.
The 542 Tape Emulator Plug-in is a faithful recreation of the 542 500-series hardware Rupert Neve Designs originally released in 2013. The 542 delivers a wide variety of elusive analog tones by incorporating a carefully crafted tape emulation section, complete with a soft-clipper that can tame the harshest sources, our unique Silk section with variable Texture control, and a Blend control to finalize exacting amounts of saturation. The plug-in was meticulously modeled to emulate everything the hardware offers, with the addition of several new features, including true M/S processing and input/output metering.

- Harmonic saturation increases as more gain is applied and a soft clip circuit engages at higher levels, gently taming peak transients
- The sound can be further modified with selectable 15 / 30 IPS modes and a pre/post-tape emulation blend control
- Silk Red mode accentuates transformer-modeled saturation in the high and high-mid frequencies to heighten the frequency range associated with Rupert’s vintage equipment
- Silk Blue accentuates saturation of the lows and low-mids to add thickness and weight to any source
- Crank the Texture knob for a rich, saturated, vintage vibe – or disengage Silk entirely for a more purist, hi-fi tape effect
