We are super happy and proud to announce that the SPL Machine Head Plugin is available now! Original code – original sound.
Watch the video with SPLs Hermann Gier to learn more:
The original SPL Machine Head hardware was released in the late 90‘s. A fully digital tape saturation processor 19“ hardware device. The goal was to create a digital hardware machine that transfers the Tape Glue and warmth of analog times into the digital world.
These SPL hardware devices are still the holy grail of tape emulation to many world-class mixing and mastering engineers all around the globe.
As the original hardware is fully digital – the original code is where the magic comes from.
We brought the core team of the Machine Head developers back together to make it possible to transfer the original code into an SPL plugin. 100% original code for 100% original sound.
But that’s not all. We also created an „ultimate mode“ which is simply put what we would have developed if we had to develop the Machine Head in 2025 again.
With the SPL Machine Head plugin you will get the original platinum hit sound of the legendary SPL device plus an ultimate version which fits perfectly into todays art of music production.
The SPL Machine head plugin was developed in cooperation with Brainworx and is distributed by Plugin Alliance.
