🎧 The Sequel to a Cult Classic
The original Zulu Tape Emulations became one of our most popular Genesis releases — so we went back into the lab and cooked up Part 2. Using the same boutique tape-style processor, we’ve captured an all-new selection of settings and tone curves, giving you more options, more flavours, and more mix magic than ever before.

This isn’t just a tape pack — it’s an expanded creative palette for your mixes, from lo-fi grit to pristine bus glue, all powered by our latest High Quality modelling tier for maximum realism. Designed for bus work we made sure there's plenty of headroom so that you can hit those master bus levels hard if required to get into the pushed tape territory!

🎚️ What’s Inside
Every profile in Zulu Part 2 was meticulously dialled in for a specific purpose:

• Cheap Deck EX – Saturated, gritty low-end with extra bite
• Cheap Deck MX – Balanced, vintage warmth with softened transients
• Deck Hi TK – High clarity tape response with subtle compression
• HiFi Drumbus – Wide, polished drum bus enhancer
• LoFi 1 – Thick, dirty and harmonically rich
• LoFi 2 – Crunchy, hazy tone with soft transient rounding
• Perfect Drumbus 1 – Punchy glue with refined high end
• Perfect Drumbus 2 – Tighter, more focused drum bus punch
• Perfect Mixbus Low – Deep, warm tape weight for mix bus
• Perfect Mixbus MX – Balanced, final-glue polish with expanded stereo

4 Bonus Emulations now included - with reduced headroom for additional saturation

• ZULU DECK HI TK PRO LO HEADROOM_HQ_d1
• ZULU LOFI 2 LO HEADROOM_HQ_d1
• ZULU PERFECT DRUMBUS LO HEADROOM_HQ_d1
• ZULU PERFECT MIXBUS LOW LO HEADROOM_HQ_d1

🧬 A Brief History
The hardware behind the Zulu series was designed as a modern, reactive alternative to traditional tape machines. Instead of simply emulating a reel-to-reel, it offers transformer-style colour, custom filter curves, and dynamic saturation stages that respond musically to the input.

In Part 2, we’ve explored completely different calibration points and gain structures, giving you alternative flavours to the original release. This makes it perfect as a companion pack — or as a standalone suite if you missed the first one.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Powered by High Quality Tier – Uncompromising realism, depth, and harmonic accuracy
• New Profiles, New Flavours – Expands on the original Zulu release
• Calibrated for Accuracy – Pre-set at -18 LUFS with red drive at 0 for instant tone perfection
• Zero Latency – Real-time tracking and mixing
• Genesis Exclusive – You cannot get this level of emulation anywhere else!

⚙️ Product Features

• 10 unique tape-style profiles, from subtle warmth to heavy saturation
• Designed for master bus, drum bus, vocal bus, synth bus, and tracking
• Instant load-and-go workflow — no additional setup needed

Near analog… We’ve always said we don’t pretend to be analog — but our users keep telling us otherwise. Time and time again, producers say our emulations do sound like the real thing. Some even tell us to stop being so modest and just own it. So, alright… you got it. Welcome to the world of truly analog-sounding emulations — inside the box.
