Portatron Tape Synthesizer by Robotic Bean

Full Lofi Control
With Portatron, you have complete control over the cassette sound, including tape speed, noise, dropouts, wobble, and start/stop lag. Switch between Normal or Chrome tape for different noise types and frequency response, and push the Drive on a track to recreate the saturation and compression of recording a signal hot to tape.

Build Tape Loops
Combine your favorite samples in new ways, or use the hundreds of samples included in the sound library as a starting point. We’ve recorded a variety of instruments like piano, vibraphone, vocals, and synths, as well as unconventional sounds like hydrophones and shortwave radio. With the same wobble and other tape effects across all tracks, the samples gel together to create a unique sound.

Flexible Functionality
Portatron can be played in many ways. It can play along with your DAW transport, instantly creating a drone effect, or restarted on each, second, or fourth bar for a semi-synced loop, great for ambient samples. Play it like a 4-track monophonic Mellotron from your MIDI keyboard for quirky leads with vocal samples. Portatron opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities for your music production.
