Tape Stops – Lofi Starts!

Add character with subtle to strong pitch errors. A virtual Tape getting stuck randomly and catching up again.

Six modes to add tasty errors

Imagine a tape in an old playback system getting stuck and then speeding up again to catch up, adding a nice and subtle flux to the pitch of your signal.

Pitch Dropout allows you to do this randomly, ranging in frequency from very rarely to extremely often, or even controlled precisely through the Dropout button, which you can automate to sync to your beat.

Add an extra layer of character to your sounds.

Key Features

• Create subtle to strong pitch errors in your signal
• Six different Modes, simulating a variety of dropout behaviors
• Mono Dropout Mode affects both channels the same
• Stereo Dropout Mode creates wide effects by independent Errors on each channel
• Trigger Dropouts by adjustable Chance
• Trigger Dropouts manually with the automatable Dropout button
• Amount dial to scale overall error intensity
• Amount and Chance are finetuned to work with each mode

Easily Extract the Frequencies You Need – Transform a noisy loop into a tight sample

From precise sound extraction to full on beat transformation

Use Transient mode to extract specific hits or tighten up complex synth and percussive patterns. Use Beats mode to be time locked with your DAW and, for example, only keep the kick drum in an otherwise busy loop.

For both modes, choose between Single and Multi Band processing for high and instant transparency or added intelligent frequency-based processing that extracts the shorter high end while keeping the longer bass frequencies intact.

The best part? Everything can be automated! This plugin is a secret weapon to supercharge your beat productions and mixes to add more intensity and variation to otherwise constant and stale loops.

Features

• Extraction control that allows you to extract sounds and tighten any loop
• Accurate transient detection mode with sensitivity control
• Use Transient mode to extract individual hits or even denoise loops
• Time Sync “Beats” mode with 1/32,1/16,1/8,1/4,1/2,1/1 resolution
• Single Band Mode for clear and accurate full band extraction
• Mulit Band Mode for intelligent frequency dependent extraction
• High resolution visualizer to see waveform and extracted material layered together
• All controls tuned by ear for instant and musical results
• YUMMY lemon squeeze animation so you can squeeze any sound to your liking
