BV-1 Tape Vibrato
Nicknamed “Bayonne”, after the town on its meter
A tape machine that wobbles on purpose. Pitch vibrato from a clean shimmer to a seasick warble, with tape saturation and aged-oxide character on the same panel.

Six controls, no menus
Front panel
0 – 100 cents · default 30
How far the pitch swings. Under 20 cents it sounds like a singer's natural vibrato; at 100 it bends a full semitone.
0.1 – 12 Hz · default 5
From a slow drift you feel more than hear to a fast flutter. Changes glide smoothly, so you can ride it with automation.
Sine / Triangle
Sine for a round, vocal wobble. Triangle for a steadier swing that sits between tape wow and a Leslie.
0 – 100 % · 4× oversampled
Warm tape saturation that turns into a light fuzz near the top. Output level is compensated, so it adds colour, not volume. The reels start turning when it is up.
0 – 100 %
Ages the tape: wow and flutter, short dropouts, a slow wah-like sweep, narrower bandwidth and a low bed of hiss.
On / Off · click-free
A real toggle with a crossfade, so you can switch the effect in and out mid-song. The VU shows the pitch deviation live, in cents.

Questions
Does it work on Windows?
Not yet. BV-1 is macOS only for now, as Audio Unit and VST3.
I didn't get the serial e-mail.
Check your spam folder for a message from Frankled. If it is not there after a few minutes, reply to your purchase receipt with your order number and we will send it by hand.
Can I use it on my laptop and my studio computer?
Yes. Activate each computer you own with the same e-mail and serial. Please don't share your serial with other people.
macOS says it can't verify the developer.
Open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to the BV-1 installer, then confirm. On macOS 14 or earlier you can also Control-click the installer and choose Open.
What happens before I activate?
The plugin loads and shows the activation screen. Audio passes through untouched until you enter your serial.
Will my Logic projects keep their settings?
Yes. Every control is saved with the project and can be automated.
