• they re-processed all material through lots of vintage tape devices
• walkmans
• boomboxes
• VHS and rare cassette players to get that authentic
• noisy tape sound. 4 independent tracks to channel your creativity

• compression and distortion. Reel up and feed your nostalgia!  SOUND SOURCES 64 sound sources
• slightly different on each track and for each playback mode
• just like in the analog world! Just do your maths and here you got 1024 unique-flavored sources and you still can adjust playback speed for each of the 4 tracks to slow down
• accelerate and stretch the reel
• deteriorate the sounds and customize the quality of the artifacts. The 64 sound sources are organized in 6 thematic categories: SYNTHETIC TONES Have Audio used a wide array of Synths to create these playable patches. From warm vintage analog to modern
• cutting edge digital machines
• everything was carefully captured
• manipulated and re-processed into different tape machines to catch the magic artifacts of the long gone
• golden era of tape recording.  SYNTHETIC CHORDS A tonal set with one-chord-per-key synth sounds
• delivering a great starting point for pad and droney stuff. You can choose between minor
• major
• maj7
• min7
• sus2
• sus4 and augmented. Load chords
• engage looping and start composing!  SYNTHETIC TEXTURES Richly detailed layers of synth textures crafted by using rare and obscure pieces of equipment
• often mixed with sounds of nature to add an organic touch. Add a pinch of built- in FX and turn textures into lush washes.  ARPEGGIATION Let Arpeggiation take the creative strain out of your patches. Multi-note blocks have been sampled into beaming cascading melodies
• bringing a luminous and vibrant life to static chords. HYBRID  These sound sources were created with super creative phrases performed on electro-acoustic instruments such as sax
• electric guitar
• bouzouki
• saz baglama and persian santoor
• subsequently heavily-processed through tape machines in order to get that out of tune
• wobbling and nostalgic tone.  REEL NOISE  A set of noises carefully sampled directly from various vintage tape machines with no input: cassette walkmans
• dictaphones and big reel to reel units. Add magic to your patches
• tones of hiss
• wobble and crackling motor sound. Have Audio also added a peculiar synth patch made out of a pitched hiss!  58 UNIQUE IR EFFECTS NASTRO's Send FXs are a big part of the game. So many hours were spent creating and fine-tuning unique convolution reverbs and IR effects to push even further Nastro’s capability. Have Audio sampled both real environment responses for organic results
• and vintage pedals and devices for extremely unrealistically huge/ halos. There’s also plenty of tuned resonating IRs to enrich your patches with pedal notes of your choice.  Back in the days
• iffy frequency response
• distortion
• tape hiss and noise were unwanted side-effects for everyone recording music on tape. Nowadays
• all these artifacts are long gone and often badly missed. For this reason
• Have Audio decided to develop a Kontakt instrument capable of bringing all the possibilities and "limitations" of their most beloved tape machines. Those that once were limitations can finally become enhancements in this new engine.  You will find synthetic and hybrid samples painstakingly processed through legendary devices like R2R Akai GX210-D
• Sony TC630
• Philips 4307
• and rare cassette players such as National RQ210-S and boombox Grundig RR1140 just to name a few.  4 playback modes (normal / reverse / loop normal / loop reverse) 3 playback speeds for each track in sync mode: normal speed half / double Control speed manually with the free mode  58 unique IR effects created from analog equipment and tape devices Built in FX Macros: Pan / EQ / Comp / Sat  80 factory presets/snapshots organized into 8 categories:  Arp Atmosphere Chords FX noise  Motion Perc Synthetic  Textures  64 SOUND SOURCES/PATCHES organized into 6 thematic categories: 15 SYNTHETIC TONES Patches  21 SYNTHETIC CHORDS Patches  4 SYNTHETIC TEXTURES Patches  7 ARPEGGIATION Patches  11 HYBRID Patches 6 REEL NOISE Patches System Requirements For Kontakt Full Version 6.5.2+ Library uncompressed size: 2
