Shape every imperfection
Hear it in action!
Play
Make repetition
feel alive
Add subtle, organic imperfections that keep every pass feeling fresh.
Pitch drops and beyond
Shape pitch, muffle and noise independently - from subtle in-tune wear to dark, noisy dropouts.
Drift gently
or fall apart
Go from slow, dreamy tape movement to stutters, stalls and total machine failure.
More than pitch drops
Not every dropout has to bend the tuning. Use the same movement to add noise, darken the tone or destabilize the stereo image - while Warble keeps the tape gently moving between events.
Create worn, muted interruptions with the pitch left intact, or combine every layer for the sound of a machine falling apart.
Our LoFi Series lets you combine different kinds of movement, wear and texture.
Pair Pitch Dropout 2 with Drifter, Flux Machine, Tapestop and Playtime - then blend to taste.
