Pulsar Modular正式推出了其最新插件——P821 MDN Tape。这款突破性的磁带模拟器精准复刻了Stephens 821磁带机的独特声音特性，吸引了众多音乐制作人的目光。
Stephens 821，作为历史上首款无变压器多轨磁带机，曾为无数经典专辑的制作提供了强大的技术支持。功能强大且独特的设计，让其在音频效果上的表现相当卓越。《The Wall》、《Aja》和《Rumours》等经典名作背后，都少不了这款设备的身影。它的直流偏置饱和特性使得音频录制更加细腻，而直接耦合电路架构则确保了磁带信号的完美传递。
为了实现这一历史性的复刻，Pulsar的建模团队投入了数年的时间，深度研究Stephens 821的物理特性。他们的努力最终得到了回报，成功呈现了开阔声场和富有音乐性的温和饱和效果，使得P821 MDN Tape不仅是一个插件，更是一种声音的艺术传承。

P821 MDN Tape is based on Marc Daniel Nelson’s personal Stephens 821 2” tape machine
Which was utilized at the Producer’s Workshop, renowned for producing iconic albums such as The Wall, Aja, Rumours, and others. The P821 signature sound is very open and has a large sonic character, as there is very little electronics and zero transformers in the tape machine, making the sound stage massive and no aggressive compression or clamping down. This is the first plugin of its type where you’re actually hearing TAPE and how it reacts. Now, hearing the P821 MDN Tape plugin recreates that same experience. It’s truly incredible and unlike anything else out there.
