Baby Audio Super VHS (Download) Six Unique One-Knob VHS FX

This is a plug-in that will give your recordings some 80s-style lo-fi authenticity.

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.

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.

Highlights

• 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
