Telepathic practice one (Revox A77 15 ips mix)

One silly Reaper exercise compatibility under Linux:

I was testing the Yabridge plugin container with my (not so) big obsolete windows 32 bit collection, watching for stability and discarding many uninteresting plugins in the process.

This tool worked almost flawlessly and I could even load an "stolen" copy of Roland Cloud's JV 1080 (I'm not into piracy mainly for performance and support reasons but I just want to rip a few waveforms and probably won't be touching the JV 1080 further, rather than taking some choirs and panflutes and using them as wavetables in most modern synths).

Long story short, my silly arp phrase on De La Mancha's Plastique was almost interesting smile

Then I tried some more plugins, both commercial (authorisation needed) and free. I'm sure I could do something with this, but I was running out of time on friday.

I recently (almost) fixed my Revox A77 reel to reel tape recorder, so I thought that could be a good moment to try some "character". I'd like to say that I could not hear much "tape" in this, other than some artifacts because it's not new, but maybe the reel "adds some magic"... who knows?

That's cool! Do you have SQ8L in your collection? It's one of my faves smile

Very ~chill~

Love the bubbling sort of feel that main arp has.  Like I'm watching an old science doc showing cell formation in microscopes and such smile

The Revox A77 is doing the job very well. I like the warmth.

There are definitely a few tape artifacts here mostly around the level cutting off a tiny bit every now and again.

Somehow this short tune reminds me of a crucial scene in "The Killing Fields" where they were developing photos in a darkroom, which for whatever reason was left out of Mike Oldfield's soundtrack for the movie.
