Pocket Noise
Pocket Noise by PockeTone β Daniel Yuck One-Knob Texture Static from the Vinyl Collection
Pocket Noise β Reactive Midrange Fuzz
Thank you for installing Pocket Noise β a reactive texture generator born from speaker dust, AM static, and lo-fi grime. With a single knob, it injects signal-following midrange fuzz that breathes with your audio, adding presence, depth, and just enough ghost in the machine.
π§ How to Think of It in a Session: Pocket Noise isnβt for adding lo-fi for the sake of lo-fi. Itβs for when your track feels naked β too clean, too digital, too sterile. This plugin adds movement and texture that glues things together without being loud or harsh.
Picture a jazz station barely coming through a wet speaker. Or an old VHS tape that still remembers the room it was dubbed in. Thatβs the feel.
Try it on:
- Loops that feel plastic
- Vocals that lack life
- Drum breaks missing character
- Clean synths that need grounding
- Really anything you'd like
π¨ Personality: Pocket Noise is the introverted freak of the Vinyl Gang. Obsessed with forgotten frequencies and leftover resonance. Built from warped cassette shells, dusty cables, and field recordings of broken intercoms.
He doesnβt yell. He just exists in the background, bleeding vibe into every room he walks into. A quiet chaos. An analog fog machine.
π§ What It Does Sonically: At 0%, you hear nothing. But as you turn the knob:
- A filtered noise bed emerges, centered in the 3.5kHz range
- Envelope follower brings noise in only when audio is present
- Stereo width subtly opens as intensity increases
- Saturation warms the fuzz path without overpowering
- Final 20% adds subtle sparkle and stereo hiss
The result is a textural layer that responds β not static-on-static, but dynamic grime that breathes and blends with your mix.
π§° How It Fits into the Vinyl Gang: Where Pocket Vinyl adds body, Pocket Crackle adds pop, and Pocket Hiss adds air β Pocket Noise fills in the shadows. Heβs the weird synth player in the corner, making everyone sound better without asking for attention.
Try stacking Pocket Noise after Pocket Remove or Pocket Crush. Or use it on a bus return channel and fade it in as needed.
π¬ What It Actually Does Under the Hood:
- White noise modulated by envelope follower
- Custom bandpass filter (centered ~3.5kHz)
- Nonlinear saturation (tanh) on noise path
- Dynamic gain scaler tied to input level
- Smart one-knob curve for progressive control
- Final sparkle generator for subtle stereo fizz
- Transparent output stage with anti-harshness taper
π¦ Features:
- Single-knob interface for full control
- Envelope-sensitive midrange fuzz
- Unique analog-style noise sculpting
- Ultra-light CPU usage
- Hand-drawn GUI, part of the Vinyl Collection aesthetic
