The Analog Sound of Broadcast History—Now in Genesis
The AnalogX OTARI MTR-10 tape machine emulations bring the rich, magnetic warmth of a world-class 2-track mastering deck straight into your DAW. Captured in Ethereum Series for unparalleled dynamic behaviour and harmonic detail, these emulations offer you the signature tone of one of the most trusted reel-to-reel machines ever made in both clean and saturated states.

This isn’t just a vibe plugin. This is a faithful recreation of a mastering icon, delivered with depth, precision, and analog sweetness—now available exclusively for Genesis.

🎚️ What’s Inside
This Ethereum Series pack includes three meticulously sampled tape profiles from the legendary Otari MTR-10 at 15 IPS, covering both unity and driven states:

• MTR-10 | 15 IPS – Unity – ETHEREUM
• MTR-10 | 15 IPS – Hot – ETHEREUM
• MTR-10 | 15 IPS – DIAMOND

Each emulation was captured at 96kHz and optimized for 48kHz playback in Genesis for maximum fidelity and system performance. The MTR-10 pack gives you everything you need to bring that elusive tape feel into your digital productions.

🧬 A Brief History
Released in the late 1970s, the Otari MTR-10 quickly became a gold standard in professional broadcast and mastering studios around the globe. Known for its bulletproof reliability, ultra-quiet transport, and high-fidelity electronics, the MTR-10 was widely used by radio networks, vinyl cutting rooms, and mastering engineers who needed accurate yet musical tape performance.

What set the MTR-10 apart was its ability to deliver clarity and precision without sacrificing warmth. Its servo-controlled tape transport allowed for ultra-stable performance across all speeds—making it ideal for both critical mastering work and colour-driven analog processing. Over the decades, its smooth low-end, subtle tape compression, and unmistakable high-end roll-off became sonic signatures that defined countless records and radio broadcasts.

By sampling a carefully maintained MTR-10, we’ve captured that sonic fingerprint in three stunning Ethereum profiles—preserving its tape bias, transformer tone, and near analog glue for a new generation of music makers.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• True Mastering-Grade Tape Tone – From crisp and clean to deep and thick, this pack covers all tonal bases.
• Hot & Unity Profiles – Choose transparent fidelity or drive into harmonics and glue.
• Ethereum and Diamond Series Modelling – Real-time feel and ultra-smooth dynamics.
• Perfect for Any Source – Great on vocals, drums, guitars, bass, stems, buses, or full mixes.
