Hi all!
I just put together my first custom unit called Trash Tape. Its a real-time lo-fi cassette effect with controls for Wow, Flutter, Dropout, Noise, and Lo Cut.
Give it a spin and lemme know what you think. I’m still pretty new to the 301, so I’m open to improvements/suggestions on the unit.
EDIT (4.13.20):
I’ve just updated Trash Tape for firmware on v0.5.01
Its an improvement on previous versions (in my opinion). Controls are:
WF amt - wow & flutter amount (depth of pitch modulation)
WF spd - wow & flutter speed (speed of the pitch modulation)
WF txt - wow & flutter texture (0 = smoothed, 5 = rough)
Age - tape age (0 = new, 5 = ancient)
Lo Cut - high pass filter
Hiss - amount of tape hiss
Dry - original signal level
Wet - Trash Tape signal level
I don’t use the Instagrams @scttcmpbll but here’s an example of a moog played into grain stretch and then effected (terribly inelegantly dropped in and bypassed at about 30 seconds from beginning and end - apologies) with parameters of the Trash Tape modulated by a global chain sin unit.
I can’t find a reason I can’t manage to load this. I create a custom unit, then I load the .lua and nothing happens. If I do it with a custom unit I created myself (same folder) everything works normally, but trash tape doesn’t load. I’m on 0.3.02. Should I reflash the firmware?
