UFX LOFI

 Aged, broken, and beautiful

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.

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.

• Downsample - sample rate reduction
• Bitcrush 1 - bit depth reduction
• Bitcrush 2 - bit depth reduction
• 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.
