Patinor

Played a thousand times before you.

Lo-fi character: makes anything sound played back from a worn record or tape, with drifting pitch, flutter, crackle and dust pops, hiss, a narrow bandwidth, gentle age saturation and optional bit and sample-rate crush. The surface noise rides under the playing and fades out with it.

How it is made

Original sOURnd design blending general techniques: a sine-plus-random-drift and two-sine modulated fractional delay for wow and flutter with a fixed centre delay reported as latency, band-limiting biquads, tanh saturation, sample-and-hold rate reduction with mid-tread quantisation, and probabilistic impulse noise through resonant filters gated by an input envelope follower.
