- Bass & Synths: Adds focus and vintage weight, enhancing tonal density.
- Guitars & Keys: Introduces harmonic sheen and soft rounding of transients.

Up to 192k models that minimize aliasing and offer a higher frequency response. The incoming audio is oversampled to run the Ultra X models — requiring more CPU for superior quality, closest to the original source.
Features include:
- Bias Control: Adjusts the headroom and saturation intensity, letting you drive the tape harder or keep it clean.
- Spatial Control: Blend between vintage Crosstalk for mono glue and Aura, a subtle stereo width effect inspired by multitrack tape misalignments and pitch shifts.
- Ceiling Control: Sets the headroom level—lower it to introduce gentle tape compression on peaks.
- Enhance Control: Blends in a tailored dry signal with added high-frequency sparkle and subtle saturation—perfect for restoring brightness and transients after heavy tape coloration.
- Tape Models: Choose from four distinct tonal curves—Clean, Warm, Rich, and Dark, the latter emulating the thick tone of slower tape speeds.
- Tone: Select from four playback styles—Flat, Master, Studio, and Cassette—each offering unique EQ curves, compression and coloration/ saturation characteristics.
- I/O & Filters: Fine-tune your signal with precise Input and Output Trims, plus smooth High Pass and Low Pass Filters to shape the tone and control unwanted frequencies.
TapeZoo is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
