03In depth

Retro game sound and character

The plugin is built on a retro game multi-synthesis engine meant to recreate the sound of classic game consoles from the 1980s and 90s. UJAM says the library includes fluty leads and short bleeps, and that the sounds were developed with composer David Wise, known for his work on Donkey Kong.

The demo tracks included with the plugin show how the sounds fit into full arrangements. Their stated purpose is to demonstrate the nostalgic character the engine can produce rather than to serve as finished production templates.

Controls and workflow

The main sound shaping is handled by five Vari knobs, which UJAM describes as a way to transform a sound without needing synth programming skills. A Surprise function adds unpredictable variation to the sound.

The plugin also includes Finisher FX for adding textures and modulation, along with built-in delay and reverb units and a browser for finding presets. The 30 sequencer presets provide ready-made phrases to start from.
