Tape and Vinyl, Bitcrush and Beyond

UFX LOFI offers no less than 20 distinct retro algorithms that emulate the beautiful imperfections of all kinds of audio equipment through the ages - from the vinyl records of the 50s to the tape machines of the 70s to the first samplers of the 80s and the signature bitcrushing effects of the 90s.

• No less than 20 algorithms from vinyl to tape to aliasing to bitcrushing to creative degradation
• Original noise in every algorithm for extra realism, plus automatable filter and tape stop effects
• Built-in multi-effect section with 40 Filter and 50 Finisher effects, plus intelligent randomization
• 150+ quality, categorized Presets to spark inspiration and speed up your workflow

20 Distinct Algorithms for any kind of Degradation

From various kinds of aging (Vinyl, Tape, Aliasing, Saturation, Wow/Flutter) to electric disturbances (Dropouts, Stutter, Random Pitch) to outright “unfit” equipment (Broken Speaker, Cheap Filter, Cheap Compressor) - there’s a Mode for any situation.

• Harsh Degradation - irregular stronger variant of Bitcrush
• Aliasing - early sampler/converter aliasing
• Wow - pitch deviation from a tape machine
• Flutter - faster irregular tape pitch deviation
• Tape Saturation - overdriven tape recorder
• Vinyl - vinyl record emulation
• Transformer - low-end-heavy transistor saturation
• Dropouts - short random silences
• Stutter - pseudo-rhythmic glitching
• Jitter - "Noisy" pitch shifting
• Random Pitch - digital pitch shifting
• Granular Glitch - digital rearranging
• Broken Speaker - old speaker cone
• Cheap Filter - resonant filter from an old digital synthesizer
• Muffle - like being outside a club
• Cheap Compressor - the side effects of compression without the benefits
• Slowed Down - formant shifting to sound deeper

Modes

UFX LOFI offers 20 distinct algorithms to add that extra bit of beautiful imperfection that tells an interesting track from a bland one, no matter whether you want to go for realism or creative spark.

Highlighter, Tape Stop, Noise

While the Highlighter filter removes low or high-end, tape stop simulates a real tape mechanism being momentarily stopped or released, and noise adds a distinct noise floor for everyone of the 20 modes - powerful creative control for extra realism and inspiration.

Filter & Finisher

Wet and Dry signal can be separately mixed into the Filter – which offers basic EQs, synth filters and more – and the Finisher which comes loaded with all kinds of effects from a simple chorus to a cloud of grains and rhythmification.

Surprise

The intelligent randomization of UFX plug-ins provides instant surprises on the press of a button – adjustable using the Small/Big control from subtle variations to totally new LOFI presets.
