tape! is a versatile, portable audio tool — a travel companion, studio gear, and creative canvas all in one.

Compact yet powerful, it blends recording with creative sound manipulation, featuring four asynchronous "tape heads" for capturing happy accidents, flexible sound design, and generative loop composing.

Four track

    Play, loop, record and mix four tracks at different speeds and directions. Perfect for rhythm-focused or experimental compositions.

Asynchronous looping

    Play each track at different speeds or directions. Sync loops for rhythm-based composition or experiment with overlapping sections.

Varispeed control

    Adjust speed during recording or playback. Lower speeds to extend recording time or explore atmospheric textures.

Loops & tapes

    Record up to 45-minute virtual tapes and mix, mash, or compose directly. Choose from various tape types for distinct sound characters, with 32GB storage (~23 hours of recording).

Overdub & bounce

    Layer recordings infinitely, emulate delay lines (up to 45 minutes), or resample by bouncing tracks between tapeheads.

Effects

    Chain delay, filters, and modulation to shape your sound. Internal processing is done in 32-bit float for clarity and extra headroom.

Built-in microphones

    High-quality MEMS stereo mics for wide-field recordings.

Connectivity & battery

    USB-C charging, file transfers, and updates, with 8+ hours of battery life.
