Native / Apollo - Runs either natively on your macOS or Windows computer or on the DSP of your Apollo interface. Works with or without UA hardware.

Step back in time to the golden age of analog effects with the Galaxy Tape Echo plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces. This exhaustive emulation meticulously recreates Roland's legendary RE-201 Space Echo from 1973, a tape delay and spring reverb system renowned for its warm, warped, and unmistakably analog echo effects. From the subtle tape textures heard on Pink Floyd and David Bowie classics to the mind-bending chaos of dub pioneers like King Tubby and Lee “Scratch” Perry, this iconic sound is now at your fingertips.

Universal Audio has painstakingly captured every quirk and characteristic of this complex device. Just like the original hardware, you can drive the input hard to add grit and "hair" to a vocal, or widen a drum bus with rich, fat analog character. Tweak the controls to unleash seemingly infinite wow and flutter and sci-fi pitch shifting combinations, perfect for energizing electric guitars with unique modulation. From classic rockabilly slapback to hazy trails of swirling delay, the Galaxy Tape Echo is the secret sauce for any source in any genre, adding depth, movement, and a distinctive vintage vibe.

This plug-in offers a faithful reproduction of the original unit, "warts and all," while adding essential features for modern workflows. You'll find the familiar controls of the hardware, including the original Mode Selector for various head combinations, Repeat Rate for precise timing control, and Intensity for setting the number of repeats and inducing wild self-oscillation. The Echo/Normal switch allows you to mute the dry signal to the echo effect, and global Bass and Treble controls let you season the sound to taste. New enhancements include **Tempo Sync** for perfectly aligning echoes with your project, **Pan controls** for independent placement of reverb and delay in the stereo field, and **Tape Select** for varying delay timbres. By capturing the eccentricities of the original and adding thoughtful modern enhancements, the Galaxy Tape Echo becomes a tool of infinite creative possibilities.
