ANALOG MACHINES
SNOP's analog devices replicate the unique imperfections of mediums like cassette tapes, VHS, and records through countless non-linear processing steps. These include wow, flutter, bias, azimuth shifts, phase errors, noise, filters, dropouts, tape saturation, stereo imaging, and custom impulse responses, all capturing the authentic character of each machine.

DIGITAL MACHINES
If a digital device such as a sampler is chosen in SNOP, this may include things such as sampling rate, bit depth, DC quantization method, interpolation, pre and post-filtering (anti-alias filtering), noise floor and fluctuations, dithering, and frequency response by convolution. Comparisons are mixed up for a blind test. The goal was never to make 1:1 replicas, but hey - you be the judge.

WHY SNOP?
We already have RC-20 Retro Color, Decimort, TAL Sampler, and countless other great plugins. Do we need another one?
Yes, I for one can't get enough. I created SNOP to satisfy my long-time love for old consumer-level audio gear and the profound feelings of nostalgia they bring. I needed one that did everything I need, laid out just how I want it and with the precise sound that I like from some of these machines. Hopefully we have the same taste. Get all of them!
