Pocket Crackle by PockeTone — Daniel Yuck
One-Knob Analog Pop Texture from the Vinyl Collection

Pocket Crackle — Non-Repeating Crackle That Lives in the Mix

Thank you for installing Pocket Crackle — a one-knob static generator pulled from the dustiest corners of analog memory. This isn’t just vinyl noise — it’s fizz, frizz, and randomized pop layers designed to inject your track with life, grit, and character.

No loops. No fake rhythm. Just living, breathing crackle that doesn’t repeat.

How to Think of It in a Session:

Pocket Crackle isn’t a background noise loop or a fake vinyl simulator.
It’s for those moments where you want texture that’s alive — something that jitters, flickers, and adds imperfection without taking over. It sits underneath like a good ghost.

Use it when your track feels too predictable, too perfect, or too clean.

Try it on:

  • Loops that feel too plastic
  • Minimal sections that need motion
  • Quiet bridges and ambient beds
  • Vocal doubles for static realism
  • Boring synths that need character

Personality:

Pocket Crackle is the popcorn fiend — jumpy, twitchy, and always fizzing.
He grew up buried in an old milk crate of dusty records and has never stopped crackling since. He’s the chaotic little sibling of the Vinyl Gang:
lovable, unavoidable, and always underfoot.

Always making noise. Always making things better.

What It Does Sonically:

At 0%, it’s silent. But as you turn the knob:

  • Gentle analog crackle fades in
  • Lower values = occasional pops, vinyl texture
  • Midrange = frizz, fizz, and warm static
  • Top range = full-spectrum dusty burst
  • Stereo imaging subtly widens with intensity
  • S-curve shaping smooths the ramp-up

This isn’t noise — it’s vibe.

🧰 How It Fits into the Vinyl Gang:

If Pocket Vinyl gives you body, and Pocket Hiss gives you air,
then Pocket Crackle gives you texture and rhythm.

He’s the wildcard — chaotic but essential.
Stack him behind Pocket Vinyl or Pocket Hiss to complete the illusion of a record being played in real time.

What It Actually Does Under the Hood:

  • Randomized crackle bursts (no loops, no sync)
  • Dynamic stereo spread
  • S-curve gain shaping for natural ramping
  • Custom pop & fizz layering with adaptive intensity
  • Smart one-knob taper for intuitive control
  • Lightweight processing with auto-level balance

Features:

  • One-knob interface with progressive texture control
  • Randomized analog-style crackle (non-looping)
  • Stereo width dynamics
  • Gentle saturation shaping
  • Retina-ready hand-drawn GUI
  • Ultra-light CPU usage
