Endless Analog Machine Matrix

The Machine Matrix is the ultimate luxury for analog tape recording with CLASP. With the Machine Matrix, now you can use your extra tape decks laying around the studio as powerful tone-shaping tools with ease during overdub and tracking sessions. Connect up to three tape decks through the Machine Matrix into your CLASP system and switch control and audio routing through a mastering grade audio path with the click of a mouse. It's analog tape lust on stun.

For example, record bass on your 2-inch tape deck but then click the mouse to switch everything over to your half-inch tape deck for vocal overdubs. Then click over to your quarter-inch tape deck for a few guitar overdubs. Click between three 24-track machines by adding additional channels with the Machine Matrix I-O. Any combination of tape decks will work. All instantly. All with just a single mouse click.
