Stereo tape-loop delay + spring reverb

AetherSpool

Build echoes that wander, stretch and regenerate. A movable tape mechanism meets a modeled spring tank.

What it does

Layer a regenerative stereo tape-loop delay with modeled spring reverb. Shape repeats using tape tone, saturation, wow and variable speed.

Move the reels, pluck the tape or use the center-idler brake. The animated tape mechanism is part of the instrument.

Start with six factory patches, including Silver Slap, Ghost Capstan and Infinite Orchard, then save your own named patches.

Choose Short or Long, set Tape Length, and raise Regen to establish repeating loops.
Shape repeats with Tape Tone, Saturation, Wow and Tape Speed, then blend with Mix.
Enable the spring tank and adjust excitation, size and damping. Use Hold Loop to stop new input while the captured loop continues.

Do I need a DAW?

The VST3 effect needs a compatible host. The standalone application can run without one.

Is this the same as the Rack module?

They share the same product idea but are independent implementations. Choose the version that fits your workflow.

Can I save my own sounds?

Yes. The app includes six factory patches and named user patch storage.
