A record, with dust and a little wobble
A record: WOW for the turntable's drift, CRACKLE for the dust, TONE for how much of the top the pressing kept, MIX for how much of the record is in the sound. The lo-fi stage's partner to REEL.
As VINYL: X is WOW, Y is CRACKLE. Touch to engage, lift to let go, HOLD to keep it.
Four to a socket, in order: sound runs through the slots top to bottom. Open the box and every knob is in real units; BYPASS takes it out of the path without losing its settings; the presets are along the top; any knob learns a controller and gets an automation lane.
| Knob | Range | Starts at | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| WOW | 0 to 1 | 0.3 | linear |
| CRACKLE | 0 to 1 | 0.3 | linear |
| TONE | 1000 Hz to 16000 Hz | 6000 Hz | log |
| MIX | 0 to 1 | 1 | linear |
Every box ships with a bank. AS SET is the knobs as you left them; the rest are starting points, each a sound someone wanted often enough to name. Star one and it sits at the front of the bank.
| Preset | WOW | CRACKLE | TONE | MIX |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33 RPM | 0.3 | 0.3 | 6000 Hz | 1 |
| CLEAN PRESS | 0.1 | 0.1 | 10000 Hz | 1 |
| LIGHT | 0.15 | 0.2 | 9000 Hz | 0.5 |
| WORN | 0.5 | 0.6 | 5000 Hz | 1 |
| DUSTY | 0.2 | 0.9 | 7000 Hz | 1 |
| WARPED | 0.9 | 0.3 | 6000 Hz | 1 |
| LO-FI | 0.4 | 0.5 | 3000 Hz | 1 |
Every box is also a line of the console's language, so a pad or a patch can carry its effects in text. The words are the knobs:
