Introduction
Features
Create expansive soundscapes and evolving,
otherworldly tones. Add layers upon layers of
harmonic and rhythmic complexity within an
enveloping stereo field. Infuse your rack with
vintage warmth and retrofuturistic soul.
Packed with powerful features while maintaining
intuitive playability, Magneto is a stereo multi-head
tape delay that also functions as a looper, phrase
sampler, vintage spring reverb unit, phase-aligned
clock multiplier, chaotic oscillator, zero latency
suboscillator and more, with extensive CV I/O.
Turn simple monophonic signals into complex
orchestrations. Create new oscillator tones using
self-oscillation. Add rich stereo dimension to your
sound, and enjoy the inherent warmth and sweet,
subtle distortion characteristics of magnetic tape.
Magneto transforms even the smallest rack into a
fully expressive, immersive instrument.
