A Vintage Soul with a Futuristic Mind
The Soul of Tape Delay
K7D is a powerful and affordable, vintage tape delay plugin. K7D recreates the vintage tape delay machines using Imaginando’s signature style of obsessive analog emulation, but with an enhanced level of control from a sleek, modern interface. Using this approach allows a whole new world of creative possibilities, while still retaining a warm, full-bodied analog sound, bursting with character and personality.
Vintage Sound, Modern Control
To give K7D it’s distinctive analog flavour, Imaginado studied and analysed the tiny details of what makes classic hardware delays great, and painstakingly recreated every subtle nuance for a fantastically authentic sound. K7D’s combination of features makes it a versatile effects plugin, capable of much more than just standard tape delay.
K7D mixes great quality sound with a great set of controls, for a truly unique experience with distinctive results. From vintage pre-amp/pre-gain saturation to the ability to tune the delay with MIDI pitch information, everything is easy to access via its stylish, intuitive display. Spend less time searching for parameters and more time designing your sound.
