Le verdict Dubspot

Sampler crunch, twelve level-matched tape settings, and tiles for CD errors, vinyl, and hiss, at €39 including VAT.

Idéal pour Producers who want a named sampler character and level-matched tape wear on drums, vocals, or a bus.

Pros

  • Printed sampler rates for SP-1200, MPC, S950, and Mirage characters
  • Twelve tape settings that change colour without changing level
  • Seeded noise so the hiss you approve is the hiss you bounce
  • €39 including VAT, with a 7-day trial

Cons

  • 22.9 ms latency at 44.1 kHz, so it is a poor live-vocal insert
  • VST3 and AU only: no AAX, CLAP, or Linux
  • Inspired by classic samplers, not a ROM emulation of them

Field notes

Aperçu

ALIAS is orph's character processor for sampler crunch and tape wear. Four sampler characters, three variants each, cover rates inspired by the SP-1200, the MPC60 and MPC3000, the Akai S950, and the Ensoniq Mirage. Twelve tape settings, from a studio reel to sticky-shed and 8-track, sit at one level so a colour change is not a gain change. Eleven tiles add bit reduction, CD read errors, generation loss, dropouts, half or double speed, vinyl at 33 or 45, wow and flutter, azimuth, hiss, and a small reverb.

The price is €39 / $39, tax included, with a 7-day trial, from orph. Latency is 22.9 ms at 44.1 kHz. Formats are VST3 and AU.

Choose ALIAS for a machine-then-damage chain at €39. Choose RC-20 Retro Color for a Magnitude macro and AAX, or Decimort 2 when you only want a designed bitcrusher. For the full breakdown, see the ALIAS first look.
