CHOW Tape Model is a physical model of an analog tape machine,

implemented as an audio plugin. The physical model is described

in a [paper](http://dafx2019.bcu.ac.uk/papers/DAFx2019_paper_3.pdf)

presented at the 2019 DAFx conference. This work began part of a

class project for [Music 420](https://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/420/)

at Stanford University (CCRMA).
