Meet the Purafied 5420, a dual-motor, harmonic-sounding tape recorder that delivers true analog energy.
It’s designed to make your tracks smoother, richer, and more vibrant, without resorting to a thousand inserts or pretending
to enjoy calibrating tape recorders.
Smooth ups, sharp downs, no paranoia.
You don’t need another plugin that “warms up the atmosphere.” You need sensation. Tightness. Glue that makes the mix breathe,
as if it was ironed and leveled by someone who really cares. Meet the Purafied 5420,
a dual-engine harmonic machine designed to make your tracks smoother, richer, and more vibrant,
without resorting to a thousand inserts or pretending to enjoy calibrating tape machines.
This isn’t another “vintage warmth imitator” or whatever the internet buzzword is. This is real analog energy:
depth, weight, and harmonics that make your mix sound rich, not overcooked. Two harmonic engines provide natural
low- and high-frequency distribution: 15 IPS for thick, grounded glue or 30 IPS for open, sparkling air. Independent volume control
for each band, automatic gain that actually works, and a workflow calibrated to taste, not test tones.
Mix it up, separate it, break the rules, and then break the ones you just broke. We don’t judge.
The 5420 doesn’t resemble a tape recorder; it creates atmosphere.
Why exactly 5420?
Most tape plugins follow the same flawed principle.
Pick a device, replicate its nonlinearities, offer warmth and nostalgia, and hope people won’t notice the blurry highs and lows.
Tape’s magic was never about the device. It’s all about how tape responds differently to lows and highs.
Every other tape plugin treats the spectrum as a single whole.
The 5420 essentially replicates the behavior of a tape machine with a dual response. One harmonic engine for your lows.
Another for your highs. Independent, musical, and dynamic. That’s why the 5420 delivers a coherence
that any other tape emulation lacks.
