  14             <h2>Functionality</h2>
  15             <p>
  16                 Calf Tape Simulator modifies signals as if they were recorded on a tape machine or tape deck.
  17                 It is able to simulate different aspects of magnetical recordings like loss of brilliance, noise,
  18                 softer transients, distortion/compression of the signal and mechanical tape threading path problems.

  20             <h2>Controls</h2>
  21             <ul>
  22                 <li><strong>Bypass:</strong> Don't process anything, just bypass the signal</li>
  23                 <li><strong>In L/In R:</strong> The level after the input knob</li>
  24                 <li><strong>0dB:</strong> Flashes if input level rises above 0dB</li>
  25                 <li><strong>Mix:</strong> Decide how much of the processed signal should be mixed into the original signal</li>
  26                 <li><strong>Out L/Out R:</strong> The level after processing and after the output knob</li>
  27                 <li><strong>0dB:</strong> Flashes if output level rises above 0dB</li>
  28                 <li><strong>Output:</strong> Control the output of the effect - clipping could destroy your signal</li>
  29                 <li><strong>Filter:</strong> The signal is sent to a filter stage. The filters are modulated depending on the tape speed if "Mechanical" is above 0%</li>
  30                 <li><strong>Tape Speed:</strong> The Tape Speed changes "Mechanical" and "Magnetical" effects</li>
  31                 <li><strong>Magnetical:</strong> Enable if transients should be flattened depending on the tape speed setting</li>
  32                 <li><strong>Mechanical:</strong> Left and right channels filters are modulated opposite in phase. Additionally phasing problems between left and right channel are added</li>
  33                 <li><strong>Noise:</strong> Add some filtered tape-like noise</li>
  34                 <li><strong>Muffle:</strong> Switches the fader post distortion stage. This "muffles" the overall distortion sound with the filter</li>
  35             </ul>
