Whether you're looking to add subtle warmth or bold vintage vibes, Tape J37 brings the golden era of tape recording to your DAW with unmatched authenticity.

Enhance your mix
with thermionic warmth

When we say thermionic, we mean the rich, harmonically pleasing incandescence of vacuum tube technology. When we say Studer, we mean uncompromising Swiss engineering.

Tape J-37 lets you experience both like never before. With an intuitive design, four easy-access tape modes and advanced controls - give your sound that high-end analog edge.

Unrivalled sound quality

Whether you're adding subtle harmonic richness, dialling in bold tape coloration or elevating clarity with Modern Mode, the Tape J-37’s precision and neural-based modelling set it apart from lo-fi tape effects, delivering the legendary sonic depth you’d expect from the original.

faithful recreation of the Studer J37

Experience the most authentic recreation of the meticulously engineered Studer J37 tape machine. We combined our expertise in virtual analog with machine learning to capture the J37’s lauded non-linearities, tape magnetisation textures and impressively rich sound signature.

Intuitive design for instant results

Achieve your desired sound in seconds with Tape J-37's user-friendly interface. With essential controls at your fingertips encased in a stunning animated skeuomorphic design - dial in the perfect amount of analog saturation on your insert, bus or master tracks.

Get creative with advanced controls

Further manipulate your sound with features like Delay, EQ, and Stability Control. Introduce discreet phasing and flanging effects, or simulate tape wear-and-tear to add unique textures to your music. These powerful yet easy-to-use tools offer flexibility that expands upon the original design.

A closer look

Whether Refining a Home Studio Project or Producing a Major Release, Tape J-37 Is Your Secret Weapon for Adding Some Golden Era Glow

Color Control

Dive into a range of tape tones, from the fresh, pure sound of a new Studer machine to the raw, gritty character of well-worn tape. With four tape "colors" and a drive control, you can find the perfect mix of clarity or crunch, giving each track exactly the texture it needs.

Modern Mode

Use the modern mode for high-end precision and clarity. It bypasses the classic high-frequency roll-off, keeping the top end bright and letting you tailor saturation more precisely.

Input Drive

Control the input level and drive of the tape machine. Increase the drive to introduce saturation and controlled tape distortion, with automatic gain compensation ensuring a consistent output volume.

Speed

Switch between the two tape playback speeds of the original J37. Higher speeds enhance fidelity and brightness, while slower speeds create a darker, warmer tone.

VU Meter

Monitor your input level and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) with an authentic VU meter that reacts dynamically to your signal.

Play / Stop

Influence the physical behaviour of tape with the play and stop controls, adding a touch of realism and interactivity to your workflow.

Stereo Offset

Recreate that authentic analog spread with ST Offset, which measures and mimics the slight dispersion between channels. Toggle it on for the natural stereo movement of tape, or turn it off for a more stable sound.

Animation Toggle

Got multiple plugins in use and needing to conserve CPU? Tape J-37 lets you turn off the spinning tape animation for a more streamlined CPU load.

Advanced Panel

Adjust the EQ, add some delay, introduce noise or affect the stability of your sound with Tape J-37’s straightforward and impactful advanced panel.
