Antique (Mono)

Description

A generator for audio artefacts known from record players and tapes. Can be used as a stand-alone generator or effect applied to audio input material (real-time from either of TBD’s audio inputs).

Features of Antique include:

• Input distortion and re-pitching

• Hiss noise (level, shape, frequency, bandwidth), typically due

  to noisy analog components

• Scrub noise (level, frequency, bandwidth, speed), typically

  due to mechanical sliding of pickup system, is synced to wow frequency

• Hum noise (level, shape, frequency, aggression), typically

  50/60Hz harmonic line noise

• Wow (level, speed), lower frequency pitch variations due to

  e.g. mis-centered record hole

• Flutter (level, speed), higher frequency pitch variations due

  to driver imperfections

• Click noise (level, density, frequency and modulation), click

  noises e.g. due to dust on the record, non-repeating patterns

• Pop noise (level, density, frequency, length), lower frequency

  pops due to damages of record material, 2 patterns are cross-faded, each with variable density, pattern length can be synced to wow frequency to imitate rotating record

• Output EQ, efx routing and dry/wet mix
