Baby Audio Super VHS

A "lofi flavor" beast.

As kids of the 80s, we have always been drawn to the sound of slightly out-of-tune synths, warm tape saturation, gritty samples and grainy reverbs. So we set out on a mission to capture the lofi spirit of our favorite decade " and bring it into a new decade.  

Meet a complex algorithm with eight simple knobs. We named it 'super" for its powers and "VHS" for its sound.

Features

Six unique "one-knob" effects inspired by the VHS-era.

STATIC " Static noise generated by an internal synthesizer 
HEAT " "Analog tape" saturator inspired by consumer-grade tape machines
SHAPE " Sample rate reducer inspired by 1980s 8-bit samplers
MAGIC " Widening FX inspired by the Juno chorus, but darker and deeper
DRIFT " Pitch fluctuation LFO for unpredictable time and pitch shifting
WASH " "Bad hall" reverb inspired by budget friendly 1980s rack units

Rewind to the VHS-Era

We wanted this plugin to be like sending your sounds back in time, then re-discovering them on a worn-out VHS tape 30 years later. All with the click of a single button, right inside your DAW.

The result is six unique effects coming together in a versatile channel strip. Super VHS will add some lo-fi authenticity to whatever clean sound you run through it " especially as you mix and match the effects. Each effect has just a single control, but multiple parameters under the hood, allowing for a wide range of results.
