Ribbons' random wow and utter parameters are
modeled after spectral and waveform data collected
from all kinds of tape players, ranging from perfectly
functioning to completely broken — four-track
cassette machines, reel-to-reels, dictaphones,
mangled cassette loops, tape delays, and more.
FLUTTER DEPTH (FD) — Turning up depth will start to
introduce subtle, stuttery pitch variations in your signal.
FLUTTER FREQUENCY (FF) — As you increase
frequency, the variations become more chaotic.
