Remi Blaze OxidexOxidex is an analog tape saturation plugin for macOS. It models the behavior of real magnetic tape — hysteresis, head-bump resonance, wow and flutter, and spectral aging — so tracks take on genuine tape character rather than a static EQ curve. A single Wear knob ages the tape from a pristine studio reel to a crinkled cassette. Saturation engine: Magnetic hysteresis model with frequency-dependent behavior. Oversampled S-curve saturation (2×, 4×, 8×), anti-aliased. Three tape speeds — 7.5, 15 and 30 IPS. Asymmetric clipping for natural even-harmonic content. Tone and texture: Head Bump — resonant low-end lift that tracks tape speed. Tilt EQ — dark to bright on a single knob. Wear — wow and flutter, high-frequency loss and dropouts, pristine to worn. Tape Hiss and Vinyl Mode for period-correct noise. Performance effects: Tape Stop / Start — one-button slowdown and spin-up. Motor Pressure — momentary flange build with a drive boost. Tape Speed Shift — smooth glide between speeds. Workflow: Auto-Gain matching for honest A/B comparison. Dry/Wet for parallel saturation, output trim with a safety limiter. Flux Meter that responds to saturation. 22 factory presets, preset save/load. Resizable interface. Formats: AU, VST3, and Standalone — Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), code-signed and notarized by Apple, so it installs cleanly on macOS. Pay-what-you-want, from $5. Read More
