Cassette Vibraphone for SFZ Player

Cassette Vibraphone for SFZ Player by THEPHONOLOOP brings tape-worn character to a sampled vibraphone, pairing its melodic percussion tones with the small imperfections of cassette recording. Captured across three octaves using four different cassette decks, the instrument offers four dynamic layers and four real round-robin recordings per note for natural variation in repeated passages. Its organic texture suits mellow melodies, atmospheric chords, lo-fi beats and understated film cues. The SFZ edition includes 20 basic presets covering the different decks, with options both with and without real round-robin playback. Carefully reduced sample noise helps prevent hiss from building up as you play chords while preserving the recordings’ character. Designed for use in a compatible SFZ player such as Plogue Sforzando, it suits producers and composers who want a vibraphone with a less polished, more lived-in sound.
