About Tape Fiasco 2
Tape Fiasco 2 turns a single audio loop into a performance instrument. Originally a desktop plugin, Tape Fiasco 2 now comes to iPad as a full-screen standalone app and as an AUv3 plug-in for AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, GarageBand, Cubasis, and other AUv3 hosts. Feed it any sound and it will stretch, freeze, reverse, repeat, scratch, and recolour it in real time. This is a Creative Multi FX built for hands-on tweaking, not a set-and-forget processor. FOUR TIME ENGINES Capture and reshape time with four engines that run together and lock to your host tempo: - Stretch for grain-based slowdowns and frozen buffers - Varispeed for tape-style speed and pitch glides, coupled the way they are on tape - Stutter for rhythmic repeats and buffer edits - BendIt for circuit-bent scratches, warps, and mangled repeats 30 EFFECTS A drag-to-reorder chain of colour effects, plus a permanent MAIN row for final level and tone. Build anything from a gentle warm-up to a fully destroyed sound-design chain: - Distortion: BITROT, CIRCUIT BEND, DISTORT, EXCITE, PLASMA, WAVEFOLDER - Filter and EQ: FORMANT, PRISM, SIEVE, TOOTH, EQ - Resonance: CRYSTAL, FREQ SHIFT, MODAL - Modulation and motion: CHORUS, ENSEMBLE, FLANGER, PHASER, ORBIT, TREMOR - Delay and reverb: SPIRAL, DATTORRO, DRIP, AETHER - Dynamics: SQUASH, GATE, MANGLE - Pitch, ring mod, and granular: PITCH SHIFT, CLANG, SCATTER DEEP MODULATION The ANIMATE page brings the whole plugin to life. Assign LFOs, random modulators, envelope followers, and hand-drawn graph curves to almost any parameter, and sequence the Stutter and Stretch engines step by step. Run up to 42 modulation destinations at once, or 72 with Perform. PERFORM AND RECORD Four assignable macros and an X/Y pad turn many parameters into a single gesture. Design one-control transitions, build-ups, and drops, then record your moves straight into the host as automation. MADE FOR IPAD - Standalone mode with live sample player and audio input, transport controls, and Ableton Link - AUv3 for multi-instance use inside your favourite host - Save, load, and share presets between the standalone app and the plug-in - Full state recall inside host projects - Resizes and rotates to fit your iPad and your workflow No account, no sign-in, and no license key. Every feature is unlocked from the first launch.

What’s new
Version 2.0.4 · Updated October 22, 2026
• Latency compensation for FFT effects. CHROMA, CONTRAST, FORMANT SHIFT, LOSSY, MAGNET, SEPARATE, SIEVE, SMEAR and WARP process audio in blocks, which delays it by up to about 85 ms. Tape Fiasco 2 now reports this delay to your host, so it stays in time with your other tracks, and muting one of these effects no longer shifts the timing. Your host's own latency compensation needs to be on. • New LATENCY COMP setting in the plugin's settings menu (AUv3). It's on by default. Switch it off if playing live through the plugin feels sluggish. Changes take effect when the transport stops. • A short notice explains the delay when you add an FFT effect. • XY pad: tap anywhere on the pad and keep dragging, and the handle now follows your finger.
