Using tape modulation for more organic, less static synths

Bonobo runs TB Reelbus on almost everything in his sessions, using the tape emulator's wobble to keep synths from sounding static and lifeless.

The plugin adds width and a touch of saturation, but the real payoff is its tape modulation. That subtle pitch wobble gives flat, sequenced synth parts a human, alive quality.

It's a quick way to add movement to programmed sounds without changing the notes or the arrangement, just the texture underneath them.
