Reel - Motion Picture Sound
Sound from behind the screen
$0.99
Bring the sound of an old science-fiction screening to your instrument: film wear, warm optical colour, projector sounds and a drive-in speaker mode.
REEL brings the sound of a vintage cinema to your instrument. Shape the wobble of a worn film transport, the warmth of its electronics and the grain of an optical soundtrack, then take the show outside to the drive-in.
THREE CONTROLS
WEAR adds wow, scrape and sprocket flutter.
TONE shapes the microphone, tube and optical-print colour.
GRIT adds hiss, grain, crackle and pops.
TWO PLACES TO LISTEN
The Theater / Drive-in slider switches between the cinema sound and a narrower speaker voice with a distant echo. The scene changes with it, from a picture palace to a lot full of classic cars.
OPEN THE BOOTH
Flip the PROJECTOR switch to add or remove the sound of the machine itself. Motor rumble and rhythmic ticking follow the transport's motion.
TAP TO JAM
Tap the pedal body for a brief film jam. Pitch dips as the transport slows, then recovers. The footswitch bypasses the effect and turns the scene dark.
A PEDAL FROM ANOTHER ERA
Worn Bakelite knobs, an amber pilot lamp and illuminated lettering sit over a science-fiction screening. The projector light flickers through the scene, and the controls lose their bright reflections when the pedal is off.
PLAY STANDALONE OR IN YOUR HOST
Use REEL as a standalone audio effect with an audio interface, or load its AUv3 extension in a compatible host such as GarageBand, Logic Pro or AUM. Standalone input starts muted; choose GO LIVE when your headphones or interface are ready.
