Haven’t pulled the trigger.....yet!
Anyone else given it a spin?

Wasn’t MSX an old home computer?
Interesting. Demo doesn’t really show much. Will wait for Doug to find this, probably.
If I’m uunderstanding what I see, this app is about live effects, and so could not be added to a mix the way, let’s say, Brambos Kosmonaut can. In other words, it is all ‘on the fly.’ Correct?
I've got it but somehow I seem to prefer DAWCasette, maybe it's because I'm Swedish?!
The mode buttons need to be held down in order to hear their effects making it quite tedious to use it for audio processing or rendering audio. I have no doubts this will be fixed in a future update though.
I've noticed some CPU spikes (100%) on the Air 2 when using the stutter and loop functions but otherwise it's got very low CPU usage.
What can I say, it's another AUv3 tape-effect in the effects arsenal
My first non-home-made synth was an MSX – I had a Yamaha CX5M (with the big keyboard; FM voice editor and Music composer cartridges among others) which I upgraded to the SFG-05 module, and later added an FB-01. I wish I still had the FB-01!
Actually, I also had a Toshiba MSX, with the special RS-232 cartridge, and through a 300 baud modem, I used to go onto a local fidonet bulletin board, racking up astronomical phone bills (well actually, about what my phone/broadband bill is now, but that was back in the mid-late 80s).
Only parameters in Fly Tape that would make sense for continuous value changes are noise and flutter/speed the other values are temporary on/off switches.
Here is my demo for Fly Tape in BM3

Yeah, for 'gate-type' effects it's nice.
Remains to be seen if the 'Envolver'(envelope follower) AUv3 has an hold setting (ie. threshold-trig and hold a value for x-time), if it does one could do old-school gating with a hi-hat pattern
Totally agree, it seems to me (although I haven’t purchased it yet, just viewed footage on I.G.) that is appears to be built with performance in mind and to be used the way that the replicates the way artists who use the Roland/Boss SP series of samplers use their built in effects.
Can't think how they could have designed this any worse. All those hidden options should be visible and selectable and latch mode available. It's currently fancy looking UI over usability.
It’s a tough audience around here, I’m happy someone is at least attempting to cover this area of interest, ok their approach is somewhat simplistic, but at least they are having a go. No one else seems to really be that interested in targeting the LoFi/Beat scene area of production.
I think it’s not a bad attempt listening to Doug’s Demo, as for £6 it’s about right in my view, I think we are getting overly comfortable with the low price point of apps, how much would something similar for the desktop cost ? I’d imagine at least four times that price and probably more.
Just because it doesn’t appeal to your ears does not mean it doesn’t appeal to its target market who perhaps want something uncomplicated and fairly easy to use.
Oh and as for their previous app, I don’t think it was too bad an attempt, ok they didn’t sound eaxactly like the machines they were named after but they gave a flavour of the intended machine. As someone who has owned an SP1200 in the past, I’ve not seen a single emulator recreate the sound and feel of that machine or even really come close, however I understand why an effect (iOS or desktop) that dusts up your drums a little would be called after that machine as it’s what most people associate with it, same with the vinyl effect of the Roland/Boss SP series.
If and when that happens, I will look at this again. As it stands, the lack of a latch makes it more pain than gain.
Just an example of poor design and an app not properly thought out.
No latches ...weird.
Hmmm. I don't really understand the point for latch. This is more of a live performance app in my opinion.
I feel like this app is a work in progress, but what does work sounds great and will be all up in my tracks. I am getting crackles wih the stutter but I have a ton of apps for that effect. My fav effect so far is the loop, with the half time and tape stop right behind. The tape stop is better than the effectrix tape stop in my opinion. The Devs certainly could improve some things (the crackles wih stutter and add a latch functionality) but watching the evolution of Lo Fly I think they are listening to the community.
Instabuy here as of the announcement (can't have enough lo-fi / cassette culture in my life these days) and curious: does anyone know the extent of "Stand Alone Mode" for FlyTape? I thought there might be Paste options and a BPM setting.
I agree that Latch would make a whole lot of sense or perhaps a single toggle that puts everything into latch mode.
Very happy this one has arrived.
this app is awesome. a few things i think would make it even better. A latch/ hold button for the buttons. Id like to see a cleaner loop studded algorithm( currently
it clicks and pops, if you don’t engaged it at the exact right moment( maybe abelton link would help with this timing issue?)) and also is like to see a option to change the envelope for the time on the tape stop for fast and slower stops.
overhaul its a purchase i do not regret. very fun
Im digging the sound of this app. It is a nice real-time effect, I like the simplicity of it. Can it be improved? Yes. But as is it is totally worth the price imo.
I’ll echo the need for latch mode, as I’d be using it in GarageBand and can’t “record” the automation of effects. I’d rather just set it and forget it.
