Taped Vibes takes one of the most iconic electric pianos and gives it a completely new, smooth, jazzy, laid-back spin. This free HALion instrument was sampled through the old tape of a Space Echo, a vintage pre-amp and through a high-quality DI box, giving you the freedom to play everything from buttery soul to gritty funk or chilled lofi. And with our new tutorial series, you can discover step-by-step how the instrument was created.
