## What is Super VHS?

Rewind Your Tracks to the VHS Era

* Super VHS combines six colorful effects to bring an authentic 1980s retro vibe to your tracks
* Makes your instruments and beats sound like they were sampled off an old VHS tape
* Fast and intuitive workflow: Each effect has just one knob – but controls multiple parameters under the hood

About Super VHS:

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 our favorite decade – and bring it into a new decade.

Using Super VHS will 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 mobile DAW.

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 quick workflow with a wide range of results.

Features:

Super VHS features six unique ‘one-knob’ effects inspired by the VHS-era.

* Static: Static noise generated by an internal synthesizer.

* Heat: Analog-emulated tape saturator, inspired by consumer-grade tape machines.

* Shape: Sample rate reducer inspired by 1980s 8-bit samplers.

* Magic: 80s style 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.

We encourage you to mix and match the effects as that will give you a wide range of sonic outcomes – from subtle degradation to all-out destruction.

We hope you'll enjoy this new Baby Audio release!

### 4/5 — Sounds Great

*2024-12-14*

If you need some quality warble, this is it. Unfortunately, it uses more resources than any other AUv3 on my tablet… Please, optimize this app, I’d love to use more than a couple of instances in a project without my host (AUM) glitching out.

### 4/5 — My Honest Review

*2024-12-04*

I am not a music producer, I just want to rough up my music files live while I listen to them through a routing app like AudioBus. This plugin is okay for that.
