A. Wow & Flutter The melodies are lightly detuned. Not enough to sound broken, but enough to sound like a tape reel that has been sitting in a shoe box since 1992.
B. Harmonic Saturation Forget digital clarity. These melodies are warm. The low-mids (200hz–500hz) are pushed to create a "blanket" effect over the mix. Your beats won't sit on top of these melodies; they will wrap around them.
C. Imperfect Timing Quantization is turned off. The piano rolls in these loops have humanized velocity and slightly rushed or dragged grace notes, mimicking a live jazz player who has had a long day.
