Overview

Tape Wobble simulates deteriorating tape playback. A ring buffer with a variable read position driven by an LFO creates organic pitch variations — like a worn cassette or a temperamental VHS deck. Dial in subtle drift or push it into full warble.

Parameters

  • Wobble Rate (0.1–10 Hz) — Speed of the pitch modulation
  • Wobble Depth (0–100%) — Intensity of the pitch drift
  • Saturation (0–100%) — Tape-style saturation
  • Output Gain (-12 to +6 dB) — Final output level
