WatKat Description
A free and digital 'clone' of a Wem Watkins 'Custom' Copicat that sounds very lo-fi, noisy, and irregular When you turn it off and leave the tape loaded, the tape bends in proximity of the capstan, and this turns into a periodic pitch fall during echo playback; plus, it gets hot and the background hum gets worse in time.You should turn it off every now and then; the capstan motor flutters and the tape is never completely erased. And it will get worse if you touch it while it's spinning: the heads tend to get dirty very soon, infact you should clean them often. This is true for the actual hardware unit, and for the digital simulation as well! Here are some key features of "WatKat": Panel Controls: · Swell: adjusts the volume of the repeats; · Sustain: adjusts the number of repeats; be careful with this knob! · Gain 1: volume of input 1 (left channel); · Gain 2: volume of input 2 (right channel); · Head 1, Head 2, Head 3: use these switches to select the playback head(s); each head gives a different delay time. · Don't touch the capstan! Additional Features: · Very easy to use · Very light on CPU and memory · Easy MIDI Learn feature · Free for all, so the world may know how cool is a Watkins tape echo!
