Pulsar Modular – P821 MDN Tape for WiN & MAC

The 821A is the first multi-track tape transport that does not use a transformer. There is no axle or pinch roller, so the tape can move freely without any resistance or degradation of the audio signal.

For the first time, engineers and producers could hear the physics of the recording process without the interference of unnecessary electronics. They could enjoy the unaltered sound of the tape and give their clients a clearer picture of what was captured in the studio.

The P821 MDN cassette is based on Mark Daniel Nelson’s personal 2″ Stephens 821 tape machine, which was used in the studio of the producer known for creating such iconic albums as The Wall, Aja, Rumours and more.

The signature sound of the P821 is very open and has a distinct sonic character, as there is very little electronics in the tape deck and no transformers, which makes the soundstage massive and does not require aggressive compression or clamping. This is the first plugin of this type in which you can use.
