Two machines, one tape.
Flip Oxyde into ENDLESS and it stops being a recorder and becomes an instrument. A live tape loop in the tradition of the two-deck reel-to-reel rigs. Tap to open it, tap to seal it, then play into it. Every pass sums your input over what’s already there and lets the oldest layers fade. It never quite reaches unity, so the loop always, eventually, dissolves. That’s the point. And because it’s running through the tape model, the loop doesn’t just decay — it ages: saturation, wow, flutter and noise settling deeper into every revolution.
A real tape machine,
built for the way you record.
Oxyde brings multitrack tape to iPhone and iPad: reels you can see moving, every input on its own track, and the warmth that made tape worth chasing. It is deliberately not a DAW — no editing, no plugins, no menus to get lost in. Load a tape, set its character, and play.
Plug in a class-compliant USB interface and every input becomes its own track — up to 24 — recorded clean and DAW-ready, whatever the tape is doing. Pair channels as mono or stereo, and hot-plug the interface any time.
Flip the deck into a live tape loop. Play into it and every pass sums over the last, the oldest layers fading until the loop dissolves. Up to three minutes round; press RECORD to keep the performance.
OXIDE is a tape model, not a filter: magnetic hysteresis, bias, a transport with wow and flutter, tape noise, and a 3¾ / 7½ / 15 ips switch that sets the character of everything else. It prints onto the stereo mix, and a clean mix is always saved beside it, lined up to the sample.
Every recording is a tape. Load one back onto the deck, record a new take over it without touching the original, and export the whole bundle — every track and both mixes — through the share sheet. No sign-in, no upload; it stays on your device.
Turn it sideways and it is a console.
On iPad in landscape the deck and its tape knobs sit on the left and the full track list runs down the right, so every lane is in view while you record.
