REPEATS: Sets the amount of tape-style regeneration, from a single echo to long, self-oscillating trails.

TIME: Sets delay time, with the drifting, tape-style character running throughout the range.

FADER: Blends the clean signal against the delayed, effected signal. At max level it kills the dry signal.

WOW: Depth of slow, smooth pitch drift - the classic tape "wobble."

FLUTTER: Depth of faster, finer pitch modulation - tape flutter.

AGE: One knob spanning clean tape to heavily worn tape: fresh vs worn tape, dub, and handheld recorder and vintage hiss tonal spectrum build together as it's turned up.

HEADS: Selects the delay's time division across 5 positions: quarter note, half note, dotted eighth, and two multi-head mode that plays two taps at once.

The tap tempo footswitch does double duty: tap it normally to set TIME by tap tempo, or press and hold to switch into expression-mapping mode, linking an expression pedal or CV source to any control knob.

• Plug in an expression pedal or CV source and hold the footswitch to enter assign mode (the LED lights solid).

• While holding, turn any control knob - that knob is now under expression control, live.

• Release to confirm; the LED blinks to confirm the assignment.

• A quick tap of the same switch still works as ordinary tap-tempo, untouched by the expression assignment.

• Holding without turning a knob clears the current assignment, confirmed by a fast LED blink.

SYNC IN: Synchronizes Cassetta's delay time to any hard-sync sampler or sequencer.

CV IN: Accepts any LFO or synth signal to modulate delay time in real time. Cassetta was built to pair with "it... MKII" this way, turning that modulation into chorus- and flanger-style textures.

DIP 1: Selects where AGE's filtering is applied: across the whole signal, or only on the wet (delayed) signal.

DIP 2 - 4: Not yet finalized.

Press and hold the bypass footswitch to stop the tape and drop into a reverse-play effect. While in reverse, TIME sets the playback sample rate of each reversed grain.
