Sinevibes Stator, new flexible tape wobble simulation plugin that takes Korg-logue synthesizers with a wow & flutter infusion back to the 80s
Good news from Sinevibes. The Stator wow and flutter effects processor is now compatible with the Korg NTS-1 mkII Synthesizer and NTS-3 Kaoss Pad.
The second generation features a variable dry/wet mix, stereo width, and crosstalk parameters. Sinevibes Stator v2 is available now for $19 and is a free update for existing users. Thanks, Sinevibes, for the update!

Tape machine emulations seem to be trending in 2021. Or rather, the ’80s sound vibe is on. More tape plugins have hit the market than ever before. Plugins and hardware? Yes, the Korg Logue synths offer a platform in which you can load specially developed plugins.
Sinevibes currently makes one of the best sounding and most innovative algorithms for the Logue SDK environment. And now also a tape effect, but one with a special touch.
Sinevibes Stator
Stator is a tape wobble simulator plugin for Korg Logue synths. According to Sinevibes, it uses a creative approach to replicate the effects of speed fluctuations in tape machines, aka wow and flutter. It also emulates scraping flutter caused by the friction of the tape against the tape head.
Artemiy Pavlov, founder of Sinevibes, goes even deeper into the topic. His team has modeled gentle phasing artifacts produced by crosstalk between the stereo channels. This makes the effect more authentic and organic.
The operation is super straightforward with two parameters. Speed simultaneously adjusts the relative frequencies of the modulation sources while depth sets the pitch modulation depth. Stator is capable of creating lovely stereo choruses or best-known lo-fi pitch wobbles. Or with slow pitch modulations, you can simply add something organic to any sound. This, in combination with a delay or reverb, gives you instant 80s vibes.
If you want to transport your Korg Logue Synthesizer in vintage lo-fi territories, it is difficult to get past this new algorithm.
