Description: Aberrant DSP SketchCassette II is a new lo-fi/saturation plug-in that brings the warmth and wild character of cassette recorders to your DAW.
lo-fi seems to be on the agenda now. After AudioThing Wires comes Aberrant DSP with a new plug-in that brings your favorite lo-fi timbre to your sounds. SketchCassette II is an effects processor inspired by vintage 4-track cassette recorders such as the Tascam 414. It emulates not only the iconic features of these beloved devices from the past, but also the character these devices give to each audio signal. Originally sold as recorders, they are now unique sound design tools that can add character to tracks.
SketchCassete II recreates all of these aspects in one simple plug-in for PC and Mac. It is capable of generating lo-fi, wow & flutter and fully saturated sounds. The developers have gone even further and offer musicians additional features with which you can make your sounds even weirder.
SketchCassette II has 12 unique tape types and quality profiles that give you a wide range of different flavors. With age modeling controls, you can make the plugin more modern or older. The older he gets, the dirtier and trashier the timbres become. Of course, you can also use the plugin as a characteristic unit of saturation. Available in 2 different models: softer and harder.
In addition, it includes tape hiss, dropouts with new advanced stereo width control, and an adjustable wow & flutter section. Exactly what you would expect from such an emulation. Aberrant DSP goes a step deeper. The FM mode allows you to adjust the frequency of the shake using the wow controls. This greatly expands the plug-in’s sonic range. Finally, you have mixing controls for filtering and compressing the tape.
