Battersea Audio Polygrade Tape Synth v

Rather than using traditional digital oscillators, Polygrade uses waveforms recorded from hardware synthesizers. These are then recorded and degraded via tape cassette machines, before being housed within Polygrade. Presets use a variety of input samples, designed to further enhance the tape sound.

Did it get worse? The Bad Tape is amongst denise’s most popular plugins and focuses on recreating tape artifacts in a controlled way: tape stops, slight slow-downs and speed-ups, multiple ways to go out of tune and off the grid. Now denise wanted to take the Bad Tape to the next level, giving you more FX and a new level of flexibility to shape the tape degradation of your sound. With the Bad Tape 2, it gets even worse!

It’s a tape delay, a tape saturator, and a tube preamp. But mostly, it sounds amazing and it’s really fun! It's everything you've wanted in a tape delay plug-in, and more!

Bad Tape 2 records over our popular Bad Tape plugin by offering an incomparable degree of control over its tape emulation parameters and even more ways for producers to delicately bend space and time or absolutely demolish their audio.

Denise audio has released Bad Tape, described as "a tape harming effect plugin". Its focus is on creating extreme tape artifacts. The inspiration for Bad Tape came from denise team member Enrico 'nrec' Tiberi.
