CHOW Tape Model is a free, flexible tape machine emulation effect plugin for PC & Mac including Catalina support (VST/VST3(AU/L2/standalone).
It’s time for a new free plugin for PC & Mac. CHOW Tape Model, a new free, open-source tape machine emulation effect plugin for PC & Mac (VST/VST3/AU/L2 & standalone) developed by Jatin Chowdhury. Although the plugin was initially intended to model the Sony TC-260 tape machine, the algorithm was later changed to be a more flexible, versatile simulation of a wider variety of analog reel-to-reel machines.
CHOW Tape Model is based on a physical model of an analog tape machine that was created as a class project for Music 420 at Stanford University. So the plugin is not a commercial product but part of a research project. Also good to know is that the user interface is based on JUCE graphics and is freely resizable what is a handy feature.
Overview
CHOW Tape Model sounds super authentic in the first run and offers a good amount of parameters for tweaking the tape simulation algorithm. It emulates all the essential sonic components of an analog tape machine: saturation, non-linearity features that can enhance the sound as well as the lovely lo-fi aspect of analog tape. The user can also go deeper into the engine by tweaking the bias, drive, saturation (hysteresis section) but also the depth and rate of the wow and flutter that is applied to the input signal.
The plugin can be used to add the classic sound of an old tape recorder to your tracks but also as an analog-style double-tracking effect thanks to its wow and flutter simulation.
CHOW Tape Model is available as a free download as a standalone effect, as well as a VST, VST3, and AU plugin for Windows and macOS. A macOS Catalina version is also available, along with an LV2 port.

The Roland TB-303 ! the legendary Transistor Bass synthesizer by Roland.
Created to emulate bass sound and used by nearly nobody until someone saw the light : “hey, listen what happens when i turn these knobs!!” turn up the res to the max ! yeah ! aciiiiiiiiiid
Back to the Chicago House, Acid House, Belgian New Beat, then Acid Techno, Acid Trance and every electronic music genre.
Now let list some free TB303 software emulations :
1. Rebirth RB-338 by Propellerhead (Standalone)
Rebirth RB-303, free ! aciid
Information and download : http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/
Rebirth was one of the first TB303 software emulation, in 1997!
And it’s free since 2005.
Rebirth is more than a TB303 emulator ; you have two TB303, and TR909 + TR808 drum machine emulations + onboard effects . The software is old, and it still sounds incredible.
As it’s a standalone application, you have to use rewire for sync with your sequencer. Useful informations about sync etc. can be found here : http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/support/support2.htm
Installing Rebirth 338 on Windows 7 may require more steps, you have to download the old winhelp32 to get Rebirth work on Windows 7. Here’s a blog post with all the link you need :
The rebirth ISO torrent, the Win7 installer and the link to the win32help :

2. RubberDuck by D-Lusion (Standalone)
Download for free ! => http://www.d-lusion.com/ProductsRubberduck.html
This one is even older than Rebirth 338. The sequencer has been simplified, compared to a real 303, and it’s a great gain of time when programming patterns!
There are also onboard effects : a simple but effective delay, and a distorsion unit for getting this squelchy acid sound.
The RubberDuck software is MIDI sync’able, Of course you can record as wav the output of the synth.
3. Creakbox BadBoyz edition (VST)
Creakbox Bad Boys edition
download : Creakbox Bad Boys Edition
The Creakbox VST by Bioroid development was stopped and gone open source in 2004!
The “bad boys” edition adds an effect section with delay & multi distorsion unit : analog drive, rectifier, bit reducer etc. + different filter modes : hipass, bandpass, bandstop, 18 or24 dB / octave.
The sound is good, but unfortunately the sequencer has some bugs in many VST hosts
acid trance !
