Rave Generation S1988 Vintage Sampler Emulation Plug-In – Looper, Bitcrusher & Timestretch (Digital Download)

Rave Generation S1988 – late-80s sampler emulation: looper, bitcrush, timestretch, pitch, filter and drive

S1988 puts the character of classic late-80s hardware samplers into a single effect plug-in. Run anything through its sampler-style resonant filters and preamp saturation, degrade it with sample-rate and bit-depth reduction, stretch it granularly, then capture it into a tape-style loop you can overdub, reverse, slow down and resample. From subtle warmth to destroyed digital grit – built for breakbeats, jungle, old-school hardcore and lo-fi textures.

Key features

• Sampler-style resonant filters – 18 dB/oct low-pass and high-pass with resonance and post-filter drive
• Preamp saturation with automatic gain compensation
• Lo-fi degradation – sample rate from 4 kHz to 44.1 kHz, bit depth from 4 to 16 bit
• Granular time-stretch and pitch shift – grain size 2–200 ms, time factor 25–400%, pitch compensation switch, transpose ±24 semitones
• Tape-style looper – Capture Next or Capture Last, free-length or tempo-synced (1/1 to 1/128), Loop Speed −200% to +200%, overdub with feedback, resample, switchable loop order
• Reverse playback and random tape wow (Warble)
• Zero-latency filter and saturation processing
• Toggleable hint bar describing every control
