Random Millisecond Volume Dropper

Vmusic

Hi,
So there are various 'Lo-Fi' static plugins that generate noise or static, seemingly random, for a few milliseconds.

Are there any 'subtractive' plugins that drop out the volume (of whatever the plugin is on) randomly for a few milliseconds?

Thanks!

I've used Drambo for that purpose when building my own cassette tape effect.
This is the part that does the mild audio dropouts.

Nice idea, did you consider a Bernoulli gate and a crossfader to have some rate control on the dropouts?

How would you build a “wow” then? I’ve been struggling with that a bit. I used the pitch module but it’s quantized to semitones so not very useful.

The delay module (not delay FX or rack), modulated with an LFO is the simplest option, I think. You can make the modulation signal more random for a more natural wow effect.

Exactly, and it doesn't suffer from any pitch shifting artifacts.

Thanks!! Yes it works great 👍

Speakers and Lo-Fi-AF can both do this. Skippodisk is perfect for that as well if I’m understanding you correctly. Also using LFO routed to the volume of whatever AU you’re using.

Not sure if can do milliseconds but Bleass Motion FX can be useful.

All I can say is...... WOW!!! [don't quit my day job]

chow tape for sure is the easiest method and it sounds great and tweakable
