The free software is a digital version of a Wem Watkins Custom Copicat, offering a lo-fi, noisy, and irregular sound experience.
Another issue I encountered was the need to turn it off every now and then. This is because the capstan motor flutters and the tape is never completely erased. The problem only worsens if you touch it while it's spinning, as the heads tend to get dirty very quickly. Cleaning the heads often is necessary to avoid this issue altogether. It turns out that this is true for both the hardware and the digital simulation.
Overall, my experience with this software/hardware was incredibly disappointing. The issues with tape bending, humming, and motor flutter were difficult to overlook. It's definitely not a product I'd recommend to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality simulation hardware/software.
