disintegration at your fingertips
degradation engine introduces the vibrant heart of an analogue synth to the fractured forgetfulness of microcassette – and opens up a deep world in between.
degradation engine works very similarly to a regular subtractive synth – you get your filter, an ADSR, a mixer, and some handy effects. what sets it apart is its two oscillators, which each have two knobs controlling “loss”.
these knobs fade between the oscillator’s raw signal and a degraded version sampled through a microcassette tape – so, with each oscillator, you can choose any point between a raw analogue waveform and total tape fragility.
not only this, but each oscillator has two types of degradation, with the samples recorded both at full-speed and half-speed. full-speed has a more brittle sound whereas half-speed is warmer and rounder – and again, you can go anywhere between these two extremes.
and bearing in mind that there are two waveforms per oscillator, it gets very deep very quickly…
