Instant magic!
Just adding this plugin on a track or a master buss changes the sound in a very pleasant way, makes it less harsh and thicker at the same time. I haven't yet found any source that would not benefit from using the Oxide Tape Recorder on it, from piano to synth bass. I wasn't able to recreate or achieve the same nice touch with any other tape plugin I've tried so far, so cheers UA!

Good sounding synth but has a lot going on
I don't use this much but it has some fantastic pad sounds. The interface is a bit daunting and the presets are a bit all over the place but there are good starting points. 4 oscillators gives you lots of runway for sound design too.

Amazing and Innovative
I was surprised when I saw this in my email on my Spark subscription and I tried it and it's so fun and unique and whimsical this is the sort of thing that I like and dig.

This One Takes the Cake!
I hardly ever write product reviews. That said, here is where I make an exception.
The versatility, ease of use, beautiful tube timbre and compression characteristics all come together in a way that makes the audio signal you pass through it really pop!
For any electronic music producers out there... pass your kick and bass/sub (together) through the century tube, after you're finished processing the individual channels. Careful with gain staging, don't come in too hot. Apply very subtle 10k boost, remove small amount of boxiness/muddiness (if necessary) between 250-600 Hz, add some 110 Hz niceness, and apply 1-3 (max!) gain reduction on the compressor. This will usually squeeze another 5% out of the kick/bass/sub combo, tightening up the low end very nicely, glueing both elements, and at the same time making them really pop!

Very good
I actually don't even care if it sounds like the real hardware or not, because this just sounds so good. It pretty much makes many other tube compressor plugins sound like a joke.

Good saturation!!!
Comparing with other tape plugins, this one has not aggressive soul

It’s savory and sweet , the perfect TLC combo on anything.

...it's almost...too perfect...
I have tried many virtual organs since 2009, and this is one of the best ones I've ever played. No frills, no extras...and it sounds like some of the organs I've played in churches over the years. The only gripe I have is that I either need a Spark subscription (which I currently have) or a UA interface to use it (which I don't understand seeing as it doesn't use alot of RAM, and I already have a good interface). If ya'll could make this useable without a UA interface, I would buy this IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! Or, maybe I'll just buy UA interface...but I need this organ to remain in my arsenal!!!!!

Badly needs machine activation
Was playing with my band and had no reliable internet connection at the moment. This and the some other UA softsynths could not go online to check the activation. Because of this Studio One could not function and the music was dead. To band, because this is a good plug-in when it functions.
Can you change to an activation that is more friendly to musicians and composers on the go? Would be 5/5 with a better system for activation. Please ditch the internet authorization or dongles. Just do a machine activation like Arturia, XLN, Softube etc.
I would have written this customer feedback to the support but last time I kindly asked the for the support to please forward a suggestion to the development team the UA support answered that No we do not take suggestions.
