I was really into the Basinski tapes. For those who aren’t familiar he was an artist who put a small piece of cassette tape on a loop that goes around a post so it rubs the magnetic part of the tape off as it plays. It eventually sonicly falls apart in kind of a beautiful way. This is an attempt to replicate those magnetic tape bits falling off feeling w Drambo.

This is very different from just increasing an effect send up since you’re dynamically losing data every time it reprocesses/resamples itself again.

I really like how different parts of the audio can slowly stand out or fall apart / fade as it goes along.

Instructions:
Add any audio source (works with live audio too)
Set the loop time length first, let it run for a bit and then tap TAPE LOOP to start destructive looping.
Beepstreet radio unit auv3 ambient stations are great for input :)

Big thanks to @rs2000 for greatly enhancing the tape fx chain and making it really sound authentic.
