FREE · TELEPHONE / RADIO EFFECT · VST3 / AU
A free telephone effect for intros, hooks and breaks.
The phone-speaker vocal is one of the oldest tricks in rap and pop: filter the intro small, then hit the full vocal on the hook. SCRAMBLE's RADIO does phone, AM radio, walkie, intercom and megaphone tones, and the cube can add vinyl, delay or dirt on top. Free.
Hear it.
Real loops through real VOCAL TEXTURE presets, nothing else added. Tap DRY to hear the original.
