Tape Machine
Drive a drum bus into the reel-to-reel, then back off until the snare keeps its crack. Explore 50 machine profiles for different amounts of saturation and high-frequency loss.

LOFI BUNDLE.
Give a clean loop the pitch drift of a worn cassette. Punch in a stutter on beat four. Let the last chord dissolve into digital noise.

01 / 03 · Magnetic colour
Record to tape.
Cassette Deck
Choose from 50 cassette profiles inspired by decks from the ’80s and ’90s. Start at Cold for a lighter touch or move toward Inferno to hear more harmonic distortion.
Griselda
Ride the Wow fader for a slow pitch drift. Bring in noise and compression, then use Blend to keep the original sample underneath.
02 / 03 · Rhythm and dynamics
Play the damage.
Lofi
Play twelve effects or sequence them on a 16-step grid. Drag notes to lengthen, shorten or merge effects. Choose straight, triplet, quintuplet or dotted timing. Patterns follow your host and save with your session.
Dusty Compressor
Use Dust to bring a drum loop forward, Wobble for pitch movement and Grit for crunch. The Classic panel shows gain reduction as you work. Blend the dry drums back in with Mix.
Degrade
Set slow wow against faster flutter to make a held chord wander. Add hiss, dropouts or the snag of a worn tape transport.
Coming soon
03 / 03 · Digital colour and space
Break the signal.
Alias
Tune the sampling clock to a note and hear new tones fold around it. Try a sustained bass note first, then add tempo-synced glitches that move across the stereo field.
Defect
Thin out frequency bands, repeat little packets of audio or freeze a spectral frame. On a vocal tail, the last syllable can hang in place while the next drum hit passes underneath.
Cortana
Shape the stereo field with Stereo Width and Dimension Width. Use Mono Compatibility as you widen a layer, then dial in Noise for texture.
