- Rhodes uses FM synthesis, guitar a plucked-string model, and the lo-fi chain adds saturation, wow, flutter and hiss.
Field notes
The page describes a live synthesis system rather than a library of recordings: Rhodes is modeled with FM synthesis, guitar as a plucked string, and drums with noise and oscillators. Lo-fi tapes add saturation, wow and flutter, roll-off, and hiss. Saved tapes remain in the current browser, while a shelf link carries them elsewhere; the site says there is no audio-file download, so keeping a performance requires screen recording.
