Impulse Response for 80s Ghetto Blasters, Boom Boxes, Stereos, Tape Decks and Televisions?

[Winstontaneous]

Awesome thread topic! Also made me wonder about IRs for classic keyboards with built-in speakers like the Arp 2600, Moog Sonic VI, and CasioTones.

chipcrusher covers a few casiotones and portatones. I have plenty more yet un-IR'ed

Cool beans, will have to check it out. Bidule is on my "Must Buy" list.

AFAIK - the Audiomatic Retro Transformer effect in Propellerheads' Reason has effects based on IRs from VCRs, cassette decks, and other goodies. I dig it.

Totally OT - anyone interested in an '80s immersion vibe should read or listen to Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One".

walkie-talkies, various phones, video cameras etc etc...i was always blown away by speakerphone, then more so with the price. would be great for you to provide us with an alternative

Preparing impulses is a tedious time consuming job.
For one impulse you need to buy or loan a device, but since it often needs modification/soldering:

A loan is often out of the question

My goal with chipcrusher was to add a lofi effect where the impulses are just a bonus.
If i add much more impulses to it, then it would make sense to raise the price as well, which is something I'm not sure I want to do.... adding a few more however ....

Great links! It's really impressive to see the level of care and craft that was put in to the existing impulses on chipcrusher. I guess I never thought about how you need to basically dismantle the device to get the correct response. I appreciate them all the much more, I assure you that.
