Creative Director

Wikki Wikki is the only effect I ever asked for.  I remember Angelo showing me his first R&D back in 2020.  The real-time vinyl scratching, break and back spin while looping is crazy fun.  I love the VHS reverb too.

NEON NIGHT DRIVE

FEVER DREAMS


Ottobit X features newer bitcrushing, stepped stutter and advanced sequencing plus glitch modes, filters, preamps, pitchshifters, and modulations.  New VHS delay and reverb showcase sounds and textures that never been heard before.  New real-time vinyl scratching looper, 1 button push looper, and tape stop (with variable speed control) provide real-time performance effects.
