What is Open Deck?

Open Deck is an Add-On Effects package.

It emulates the tape compression created by two open reel tape recorders (a recording deck and a reproduction 

deck). You can change the sound quality by adjusting various elements, such as the deck type, tape quality, 

playback speed, etc.

What is VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling)?

VCM is a technology that enables the creation of models of element levels in analog circuits (such as resistors 

and capacitors).

This technology was developed by an engineering group led by Mr. Kunimoto, an engineer who developed the 

first physical modeling synthesizers, VL1 and VP1. Open Deck utilizes VCM technology.
