Wires (Download)

Wires from Audio Thing is an effects plugin accurately modeled and enhanced 1970s Soviet wire recorder. Made originally for military and secret service use across the Iron Curtain, it became a magical lo-fi tool and ghostly echo machine. Now this rare piece of hardware is available for the first time as a faithful yet modern plugin. Transform your audio to the world of numbers stations and secret operations, dub out to unusual echoes or create chill lo-fi study session beats. Audio Thing took great care to get all the idiosyncratic behavior exactly right. The Wires plugin reacts dynamically to the input and manipulates audio for a completely different texture to that of magnetic tape. There is a special tone to the hair-thin wire and the vacuum tube output stage of this machine that is unheard of anywhere else. Wires offers all the variable time features you want, as well as the option to switch off the high noise floor of this machine without sacrificing the lively sound.
