DIAL turns any track, loop, vocal or melody into a real radio signal — drifting between stations, fighting the static, crackling out of a speaker that has seen better days. It doesn’t add a lofi filter. It puts your music on the air.
Seven stations. Four vintage radios. Everything that lives in the air between them.
Get DIAL|$50FREEPark the needle on a station and your sound comes through clean. Drift off and it sinks into the static — only a ghost of it bleeds through. Hold SEARCH and the dial hops the band at random, then glides back home when you let go. Flip to AM for narrow, gritty mono or FM for wide, clean stereo. It’s not an effect you set. It’s an instrument you play.
Pick a radio and the whole plugin changes — the voicing, the band, the drive and the interface skin. Every model is built from a real radio, inside and out.
NOISE is a hiss floor that swells as you drift off-station. CRACKLE fires irregular pops with random spacing and level — never a metronome. MORSE bleeds tone pips in from the station next door. Then DRIFT wanders the tuning like an old analog dial, DROPOUT fades the signal at random, and BLEND decides how much of it you feel.
SATURATION is level-matched, so it adds warmth and grit rather than volume, and LOW CUT / HIGH CUT trim each radio’s natural band. RATTLE is the speaker itself — two detuned wobbles beating against each other like a loose cabinet panel, shaking the grille on screen as you turn it up. Every block has its own bypass that genuinely stops processing.
Put a beat on 3AM talk radio. Make a vocal sound like it’s coming through a kitchen counter set. Turn a melody into a numbers station. Sweep the dial for a transition nobody saw coming.
Built for real productions: six focused processors in one signal path, each running in its own node — bypass a block and it actually stops processing rather than being mixed to zero. DIAL adds zero latency, so you can write, produce and track through it live. Every sound control is automatable, including the Model and the tuning dial itself.
64 hand-tuned factory presets, from a clean broadcast to a completely collapsed signal. Every preset stores its per-block bypass states too, so anything that isn’t contributing is switched fully off.
Your sound doesn’t have to be clean. It doesn’t have to be close. It just has to feel like it came from somewhere. DIAL puts that somewhere inside your DAW.
