Cassette Tape Synths by Brian Funk

Warmth, Character & Nostalgia—Straight from the Cassette Deck

Cassette Tape Synths is a collection of 54 analog synth recordings transformed into an expressive Ableton Live Instrument Rack. Captured using a dual cassette deck from Brian Funk’s youth, this pack imparts the unmistakable warmth, hiss, and wobble that only true tape saturation can deliver.

Using the Prophet 6, MS-20, MG-1, and Volca FM, Brian programmed evolving patches and manipulated their parameters live while recording to tape. The result? Long, organic samples that feel alive—each imbued with sonic movement and saturated richness.

Powerfully Playable in Live

Once recorded, the tape-processed samples were sculpted into an intuitive Ableton Instrument Rack. With 16 macro controls at your fingertips, including pitch wobble, tape hiss, sample start, delay, and filter sculpting, you can tweak, modulate, and explore endless tonal variants. The Sample Selector macro lets you navigate all 54 cassette sounds with ease.

20 Macro Variation Presets

Each of the 20 included macro variation presets is carefully crafted—some classic, some experimental—all built from the 16 macros to show off the creative scope of this collection. With over 1,000 sound variations possible, Cassette Tape Synths is a deeply inspirational sound palette.

Whether you’re scoring for film, crafting ambient textures, or adding analog charm to electronic tracks, this pack is your time machine to sonic warmth.
