Ableton
Here’s what they have to say about it:
There really is nothing like the sound of tape, whether you’re after that crunchy saturation, warm colour or the wonky, wobbly wow & flutter you can use TAPE to add some vintage flavour to your productions.
Now I’ll be the first to admit, TAPE is by no means the best tape emulation out there – there are some amazing plugins that emulate the sounds of analog tape with amazing accuracy using all sorts of algorithms and component and frequency response modelling to copy the sound of tape in a very detailed way.
However, there are much more general characteristics of tape that don’t require detail circuit modelling to achieve; TAPE cleverly copies these characteristics to create a tape sound that is very generic but surprisingly authentic.
Analog Tape is a free download via the ELPHNT site.

Welcome to Free Stuff Friday - a new weekly post that does exactly what its name suggests: sharing cool freebies, every Friday. Each week we'll be picking the best sounds, packs, patches and instruments we've seen from the Ableton Community, and passing them onto you to take into your weekend of music-making.
Taishokoto from Fidelitarium
The Taishokoto is harp-like instrument from the Japanese Taisho era in the early 20th century. Strummed with one hand and keyed with the other, it features both plucked and sympathetic (drone) strings. Phillip Jackson at Fidelitarium has shared a free Instrument Rack made of samples from the Taishokoto - preview it above and head to Fidelitarium to download for Live.
Noise, Hiss & Crackle from SampleRadar
Modern digital recording and playback might have eliminated tape hiss, vinyl crackle, and other analog noise, but sometimes you want that special character in your tracks. For example, listen to how sampled (and filtered) vinyl noise adds a gritty character to Burial's signature tune, 'Archangel':
