VariSpeed – Free Copicat IC400 Tape Delay Plugin

by David Solomonoff

GSi has released VariSpeed, a freeware emulation of the WEM Copicat IC400 tape delay unit in VST, VST3, and AU plugin formats for 64-bit DAW software on PC and Mac. VariSpeed emulates the Watkins (WEM) Copicat IC400 tape delay, one of the most sought-after vintage tape delay units. The IC400 was WEM’s first echo machine.

Range of sound effects one can build using a single sound source and a capable tape delay unit can often rival the flexibility of a basic subtractive synthesizer.
