## What is Wires?

Made originally for military and secret service use across the Iron Curtain, in the hands of a few avant-garde musicians, the MN61 wire recorder became a magical lofi-tool and ghostly echo machine. Now this rare and rather finicky to operate 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 very unusual echoes or make the most lofi beats to study too. Available as AUv3 and Standalone.

### 5/5 — It’s just unfair, utterly unfair!

*2024-04-26*

Dear good lord, Like the Characters of Jujutsu Kaisen, I’m going to depart this shallow earth with just one regret! Just!

In the very last moment, I’ll still think about of How i had to sacrifice the chance of obtaining the “DubFilter” and the “Reels”, because among those three, 

I chose the unparalleled invention known as the “Wire”, 

I’m sorry DubFilter,it literally breaks my heart to let go of you, but Wire is the thing that needs me now, also “reels”, you’re the elder matured one, I know you’ll understand why I had to go with this choice!

I wish the most sincere blessings and wellbeing for “DubFilter”, and “Reeels”, I lack empathy for human beings as they are the most shallow creatures infesting this earth, but you two made my eyes teary!

With love and hugs!
Forgive me, for my unworthy existence! There would be a lot more beautiful souls out there will love you to death!

### 5/5 — cool

*2024-02-10*

This app is nice. But I want to open mp3 file. Or use on garageband. Implement it please.

### 3/5 — mh

*2023-03-20*

unschlüssig. vllt. braucht es die hardware für den kick. so richtig überzeugt mich das nicht und es langweilt schnell. kriege so richtig interessante 'verunreinigungen' nur unter zuhilfenahme weiterer 'schmuddelapps' hin. vllt ist der lofi riemen ja aber auch langsam etwas abgenudelt... wäre nett gewesen, wenn man die sprachsamples in der low quali durch durch eigene ersetzen könnte.

### 5/5 — Top shelf.

*2023-01-27*

This is fantastic and really well done. Also sounds totally original.
Highly recommended.

### 4/5 — Perhaps my expectations are too high

*2023-01-20*

I can’t deny that this sounds good, often very good in fact. Yet I can’t help having the feeling and opinion that this should be a part of something incredible as opposed to an entirely finished standalone product. Don’t get me wrong, it is, obviously what it is and for that reason very well done indeed - one can use as intended and be content. This could, as the title suggests reflect my high expectations and ultimately I’m more than willing to accept such - unfortunately for me, it’s yet another case of, oh how I wish I could make my ideas.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-01-16*

This is what sets Hainbach apart from all others. Fantastic.

### 5/5 — Amaze balls

*2023-01-15*

Great for the arsenal! Light on cpu!

### 5/5 — An excellent niche

*2023-01-12, version 1.2.1*

Wires produces results that are authentic, sometimes otherworldly and always fun to fiddle about with. Very high quality, and particularly good for those dabbling with soundscapes/ ambient music. Although it also sounds great when subtly applied to elements of more melodic and rhythmic compositions, sounding like Soviet era lo-fi. In a future update I would like to see the option for changing the in-built sounds on the wire spools, and more presets.

### 5/5 — Voices from the other side

*2023-01-11*

This is a magical app that adds so much character to your music. It’s like the best tape emulation you’ve ever heard bit it’s not even that, it’s way better. It creates nostalgic and haunting atmospheres that are truly transportative. 

Amazing
