Border Audio – Degradation Engine

Description

🎛️ Degradation Engine – A Synth for the Lost and Found 🎚️

🔊 Rediscover the beauty of imperfection.
Degradation Engine is a one-of-a-kind software synthesizer that blends raw analogue power with the nostalgic warmth of microcassette tape. Born from a love of classic Korg Volca Keys and the haunting charm of audio decay, this instrument creates a unique sonic space between the vibrant and the forgotten.

🎶 Analogue Meets Artifact.
At its core, Degradation Engine features two custom oscillators, lovingly sampled from the iconic Volca Keys. But here’s where it gets magical: each oscillator includes dual “loss” controls, allowing you to morph from pristine analogue tones to beautifully broken microcassette textures.

🎛️ Flexible. Emotional. Deep.

• ✨ Raw-to-Worn Control: Seamlessly dial in the perfect balance between clarity and character.

• 🌀 Dual-Speed Degradation: Choose between full-speed (brittle, crisp) or half-speed (warm, mellow) tape textures.

• 🎚️ Classic Subtractive Controls: Filter, ADSR, mixer, and onboard FX—ready to sculpt your perfect sound.

• 🔄 Layered Degradation: Each oscillator offers two waveforms, two tape speeds, and endless tonal combinations.

🧠 Whether you’re scoring a dream sequence, building lo-fi beats, or exploring the emotional depth of sound design, Degradation Engine delivers a deep, fractured world between the new and the half-remembered.

🎧 Step beyond the clean and the clinical. Embrace the imperfect.
With Degradation Engine, every sound tells a story.
