Question 1

What is Rooftop Antenna?

Accepted Answer

It's an instrument. You play the keys, I tune the antenna, and whatever comes through the static is your sound. Works in your DAW, or on its own.

Question 2

What does it sound like?

Accepted Answer

Seven voices — a soft synth, paper and cloth, street, telegraph, tuning, tube and relay. Four stations on the dial: Far, Rooftop, Transistor and Thin. A tape loop, and WARP for slow drones. Warm. Never sharp.

Question 3

What do I need to run it?

Accepted Answer

A Mac with macOS 11 or later, Apple silicon or Intel. VST3, AU or the standalone app. A MIDI keyboard if you have one — the computer keys work too.

Question 4

When can I buy it?

Accepted Answer

Not open yet. The night shift will post it the moment the light comes on.
