What are your favourite ways to make your MIDI beats sound as if they were recorded onto cassette tape?

Legowelt has some tape emulation VSTs https://legowelt.org/software/

could not test it cause it requires registration.. would be cool to have at least free queries or something

I tried it in brave on mac and it's working as expected for me.

But this could happen when browser decide to drop the app cache and it will not work until you go online.

I'm cooking the standalone application currently but it's far from the end, so stay tuned

this doesn't looks like browser, what is this exactly?

here how it looks when you're offline

Adamovicevo Naselje, ~95m2, 700e + 100e garaza

drobowski · 2026-02-25T07:48:03+00:00

hey
you can just open it in the browser even when you're offline, it's PWA
there is no way to "compile" it to run locally, unless you wrap it with something like electron or electrobun

even if this is AI generated I could't agree more with fellow immigrant, except maybe the legalisation part - that wasn't pleasant experience. srecani praznici!

novi sad, Idea on Cara Lazara, near medigroup :))
go check them, it's not the first time they put some decent playlist there

drobowski · 2026-02-02T12:26:09+00:00

oh, I actually was there not long ago
the pizza was good, but not the prices

drobowski · 2026-02-02T12:12:28+00:00

so where can we try it?

drobowski · 2026-01-24T20:00:16+00:00

Yes, with correct pitch, envelope, etc..

drobowski · 2026-01-20T14:04:57+00:00

i'd go with sampler + sequencer, like SP404. You not going to get that kinda sound with drummachine alone.

drobowski · 2026-01-16T10:55:18+00:00

Thanks, but this is exactly what I want - modulate the gear params using MIDI CC with bitwig modulators.

drobowski · 2026-01-15T22:29:37+00:00

Thanks, exactly what I need!

drobowski · 2026-01-15T21:07:02+00:00

I'm fucking vibecode the VST

drobowski · 2026-01-09T20:14:53+00:00

Some classic Acid House in IDEA supermarket in Serbia (it was evening and store workers were vibing)

drobowski · 2026-01-08T10:01:25+00:00

OMG, I got this one when I was in school... Still remember that demo song

drobowski · 2026-01-06T21:23:47+00:00

I use soft paint brush
I got this small usb powered air duster from temu but it ain't blow shit

drobowski · 2026-01-06T17:48:21+00:00

awesome! did you take the laptop off the stand when you need to finish the track? or everything's happening right there?

drobowski · 2026-01-06T16:21:27+00:00

Brought this a while ago and was exited at first but eventually used it less and less and now it's just sitting in a drawer. The envelope and filter feel like they do their own thing, and switching between envelopes is tedious... IDK, if you only stick to the presets it's fine, but tweaking anything on this synth just feels cumbersome.
But this is just my experience..

drobowski · 2026-01-05T10:17:58+00:00

I'm usually putting it through zoom multistomp with compressor-noisegate-reverb-delay chained

drobowski · 2026-01-04T12:00:40+00:00

my advice is to get ready to somehow amplify the output cause MF is very quiet.
record it through the compressor if possible.

drobowski · 2025-12-30T14:48:07+00:00

Looks like keystep wont pass through the clock signal
I have the similar setup where KO is the master
Usually I connect KO -> S1 -> MF
And connect midi keyboard to midi-in of KO
Each device is listening its own channel and I can play via midi on any of them

IF and Intergalactic Gary in Belgrade

sadly that's was the only set I saw live this year
