Lo-fi degradation algorithms and character

The plugin's 20 algorithms cover several eras of audio equipment. Vinyl, tape saturation, wow and flutter reproduce the wear of analog media. Downsample, bitcrush and aliasing recreate early sampler and converter artifacts. Modes such as Broken Speaker, Cheap Filter and Cheap Compressor simulate equipment that is failing or poorly designed.

Each algorithm includes its own original noise floor, which UJAM says adds realism. Highlighter filtering, tape stop and noise controls let you shape the result further.

Filter, Finisher and randomization

The built-in multi-effect section includes 40 Filter effects, such as basic EQs and synth filters, and 50 Finisher effects, ranging from a simple chorus to granular clouds and rhythmic gating. Wet and dry signals can be mixed separately into the Filter and Finisher sections.

The intelligent randomization control produces new settings on demand. Its Small/Big control sets how far the results move, from subtle variations to entirely different starting points. The plugin also ships with more than 150 categorized presets.
