Disintegration Loop is a looper that provides controls
for loop decay, speed, and direction. On the one hand
it can be a pretty typical looper, but it can also be used
as a tape delay or experimental looper where your
sounds age, distort, and become completely unrecog-
nizable over time.
Combined with the reverb (pre-eects), it can be used
to create compositions reminiscent of Alvin Lucier’s
famous 1969 piece “I am sitting in a room”, with the
sounds eventually becoming transformed and over-
taken by resonant frequencies of the physical space.

At extremes, Crushed Cassette can introduce some
pretty abrasive artifacts. You can easily use the
low-pass lter on page 1 to reduce some of these
while still maintaining interesting lo- textures.
Most bit-crushers have a gated quality where your
signal abruptly disappears when it gets too quiet.
μ-law companding prioritizes quiet parts of your
signal, resulting in a bit-crushed sound with lots of
haunting distortion and artifacts, but without the gating
eect so your signal decays more naturally.
