Renegade Sound Labs RSL-ST562

RSL-ST562 is a free 500-series tape strip, as a plugin for your DAW. Trim, tape at 30 or 15 ips, and Fabric harmonics in blue or red, laid out like a 500-series card you read top to bottom. It runs in your session at its own rate, with zero latency.

The tape curve only bends what sits below 2 kHz; the top end is compressed rather than bent, so it stays clean without oversampling and the strip adds no latency. Every light on the faceplate tells you something: the ring around TRIM is a meter, the DRIVE lamps read what goes into the tape and the LEVEL lamps what comes out.

Features:

– TRIM, 12 dB either way, with a 21-LED ring meter (OUT / IN).

– TAPE path with DRV and five DRIVE lamps.

– Tape speed: 30 ips (tight low end, open top) or 15 ips (head bump, rounded top).

– MIXT to run the tape in parallel.

– FABRIC harmonics in BLUE or RED, with their own mix.

– 54 factory presets voiced on real audio.

Free, no license key. Installs through RSL Hub. AU, VST3, AAX and Standalone on macOS 11+ (Universal 2); VST3 and Standalone on Windows 10 64-bit+.
