01Overview

RETRO Loyalty Upgrade from any paid UJAM product is offered as a crossgrade for owners of eligible paid UJAM products. It is built around RETRO, a multi-effect plugin that recreates the sound of classic records. Its modes are organized by decade, from the 60s through the 90s, and each mode is set up as a chain of interconnected sound modules. The plugin is aimed at producers who want an instant old-school character without building an effects chain by hand.

03In depth

Vintage sound and effect character

RETRO is designed to capture the sound of classic recordings. The developer describes its modes as a web of up to 20 interconnected sound modules, covering effects such as reverbs, delays, flangers, tube saturation and tape hiss.

Each mode is presented in one of four decades, 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s. The plugin includes 50 modes and 100 individual presets built from those modes, so you can start from a finished sound and adjust it.

Workflow and key controls

RETRO uses a simple interface. You load a preset and start playing or processing audio right away. The FINISHER knob controls the many processors inside a preset with a single control, and four VARI knobs let you shape the sound further, from a light, subtle touch to a heavy effect.

This keeps the focus on the result rather than on individual parameters.
