Tonerig offers the Instability ($10+ value) modulation plugin as a free (pay what you want) product for all Bedroom Producers Blog readers until January 26th, 2021.
Instability uses random pitch modulation and amplitude modulation to simulate the pitch inconsistencies of vintage tape recorders. It’s the perfect effect for lo-fi hip-hop, synthwave, downtempo electronica, and more. Basically, it’s a VST plugin for everyone who wants to make their music sound more lo-fi and analog.

Simulate the audio characteristics of old VHS tapes, audio cassettes, and vinyl record players. Use a tape saturation effect like BPB Saturator in tandem with Tonerig Instability for a more authentic tape-like sound.
Tonerig Instability is a sound design tool that will make any audio source sound more lush and aesthetic. If you make retro-inspired music, the Instability plugin is a must-have audio tool in your music production software arsenal.
The plugin features a minimal user interface with six control parameters. The user can adjust the pitch and volume modulation separately by fine-tuning the speed, depth, and stereo knobs.
The default color scheme is a white background with black knobs and labels (pictured on the screenshot above). Alternatively, you can choose the dark color scheme which inverts the GUI colors.
Here’s how the developer describes the Instability plugin:
“Instability is a random modulator of pitch and amplitude that can be used to breathe life into any sound by adding a slight bit of movement. You can create crazy, chaotic warbling messes, produce pretty chorus-like effects with a huge stereo image, or make your sounds as if they’ve played through an old tape recorder for that lo-fi aesthetic.”
Tonerig Instability is normally a “pay what you want” product with a minimum $10 payment. BPB readers can get the plugin for free until January 26th, 2021.
