Tapatiki

Tapatiki is a free delay VST plugin developed by GaryG. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

An 8 tap delay effect, designed with simplicity of operation in mind.

Primarily intended for the creation of rhythmic patterns, Tapatiki offers a large range of tempo sync options (2/1 down to 1/64, dotted and triplet options) as well as non-synced delay times of up to two seconds.

Each tap offers level, pan, feedback and a simple filter. This filter can be placed either within the feedback loop or after it. It offers both low and high pass filtering in a single control. Taps can be individually disabled when not required.

A global feedback multiplier can modify the feedback amount of each channel simultaneously from x0 (effectively killing the feedback) to x2. Although Tapatiki has been tuned to prevent excessive feedback loops, a Panic button is also offered to kill runaway feedback.

The controls have been designed for ease of use e.g. sliders that can be dragged from any point, quickly set a controls value with a right-click, no drop-downs, etc.

About Acqua Effect plug-ins:
An Acqua plug-in is a stand-alone skinned Nebula library, in other words it is a software product developed as a parametrization of one or more Nebula’s instances. Parametrization is achieved using the script languages proprietary to Acustica Audio and does not require external tools and compilers.

About Acustica Audio:
Acustica Audio is a company that is active in the field of information technology and audio engineering. The company’s goal is to provide the most authentic reproduction of sampled vintage gear and other high-end hardware devices. Over the years it has become well known for audio plug-ins, by manufacturing its own software products and marketing them both in Italy and worldwide. Acustica technology is based on a software engine of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) developed by Acustica Audio that emulates other DSPs, by modelling them through a proprietary sampling technique. Unlike the audio sampler, which is an electronic musical instrument able to capture and reproduce audio samples, Acustica technology can sample and emulate the behavior of an audio processor, by reproducing its harmonic response, harmonic distortion and dynamic response as time and other external variables (like user controls) change.
