Canvas Audio have released Monarch Tape Machine, available at the intro price of $59.00, increasong to $99.00 after the promotion.
Monarch captures the depth, weight, and dimension of classic tape machines without turning every mix into a lo-fi effect. Built to enhance tone rather than distract from it, Monarch delivers subtle saturation, gentle glue, and the kind of harmonic richness that makes tracks feel finished.
At its core, Monarch is designed to feel immediate. Drive controls how hard the tape is pushed, while Trim lets you level-match with ease. Beneath the surface, carefully tuned tape behavior adds compression, soft transient shaping, and musical harmonic detail that responds naturally to your signal.
Fine-tune the Monarch even further with LF and HF Bias controls to sculpt low-end weight and top-end saturation. Switch between cleaner modern tape behavior or a softer vintage response, then choose between tighter 1/2” clarity or thicker 2” style tone for added depth and density.
The Monarch has controls for 4x oversampling (on by default), as well as a global mix control. At the center top of the interface is the Preset Menu, where you can browse, load, and save presets for quick recall of your favourite sounds. Don’t be afraid to dive through tons of our curated artist presets as well, especially if you’re looking for some great tone inspiration!
Monarch is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
