Tape Piano 2 Black Friday pricing from Thenatan Audio takes 87% off this lo-fi piano VST, bringing it to $10 until Nov 19, 2026.
It is the upgraded version of the popular Tape Piano (Tapex) and is built for lo-fi, chill and hip-hop. The maker describes it as multilayered piano sounds with textures, modulation and effects in one plugin.
The core is a multilayer architecture. Four samplers each carry filters, envelopes, reverse, pan, stereo width and tuning.
A separate texture layer handles vinyl, crackle or your own samples. You blend the layers against each other to build the sound.
Mod Envelopes and LFOs can be assigned to almost any control. That covers effect movement, fades and rhythmic changes.
The MacroSystem gives colour-coded visual feedback, so you can see which controls a macro is driving.
The effects section is built into the instrument, so the whole sound is shaped without leaving the plugin. It holds:
On top of that there are two master filters, each with 10 filter models. The maker says these were chosen from popular designs.
The keyboard spans 4 octaves with a ±24 transpose control. Large output meters and a peak level readout sit alongside it.
Undo and redo controls are included. The maker also lists reel and rain animations in the interface.
The preset browser is described as a professional workflow tool. Presets are shareable, and the randomizer is there for quick starting points.
Yes. The Tape Piano 2 Black Friday deal takes 87% off, bringing the lo-fi piano VST to $10 until Nov 19, 2026. The listing is for Thenatan Audio's Virtual Instruments plugin.
You get 4 samplers, a texture layer, 200+ factory presets plus Tapex 1 presets, a modulation and macro system, and a full effects rack. Scratch Designer, a Scaler with 17 scales and two master filters are built in too.
Effects include algorithmic reverb, convolution reverb with custom IR support, stereo delay, soft and hard distortion, an 8-bit degrader, a 2-band phaser, compressor, gate and a surgical EQ. Two master filters add 10 filter models each.
Partly. The texture layer accepts custom samples alongside vinyl and crackle, and the convolution reverb supports custom IRs. Each of the 4 samplers has filters, envelopes, reverse, pan, stereo width and tuning.
