What the pros are saying

Rob Kleiner

Many have tried, but none have achieved what Yum audio's "pitch drop out" accomplishes. Insanely convincing analog flutters, errors, skips, drop outs. Set it and forget with random modulation or customizable enough for even the most neurotic control freak.

Pitch Dropout 2 creating an organic dropout

Perfect loops need imperfect moments

Digital production makes every repeat clean, stable, and identical.

Pitch Dropout 2 adds slips, stalls, and worn patches that make playback feel alive and interesting.

Shape every imperfection

Make repetition
feel alive

Add subtle, organic imperfections that keep every pass feeling fresh.

Pitch drops and beyond

Shape pitch, muffling, 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.

Pitch Dropout 2 character and noise controls

More than pitch drops

Not every dropout has to change 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.

The LoFi Bundle

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.
