Beat Magazine #179 Is Out – 12 GB Of Free Sounds & Plug-ins

IK Tape Echo is now available for only 5,49 euros with the latest issue of Beat Magazine. Together with Voltage Modular Beat Edition, as well as 12 GB of plugins and samples.

With Tape Echo, IK Multimedia has created a virtual monument to the legendary Maestro Echoplex EP-3 from 1969. It recreates the distinctive vintage sound of the tape echo device with all its peculiarities in detail, without any tape tangle, and with delay times that can be synced to the DAW tempo. This makes the plug-in a real secret weapon for giving guitars, synths, electric pianos, and even drums and vocals a striking retro touch!

Also on board: Voltage Modular Beat Edition and three Zampler sound banks.

Besides Tape Echo, the current Beat issue contains the virtual modular system Cherry Audio Voltage Modular Beat, which is effectively the Nucleus edition with 14 modules added on top. Also contained are three sound banks for the free Zampler//RX workstation: Ultimate Drums, Analog Warrior, and Brute Factor, which are – according to Beat mag – perfect for harder styles such as EBM, Industrial, and Hardcore Techno. Lastly, a 4.4 GB sample collection features sounds for Cinematic, Pop & Trap from Loopmasters, Industrial Strength, and TriSamples.
