It is aimed at producers and engineers wanting lo-fi and vintage textures and is available for macOS and Windows in VST/VST3, AU, and AAX formats. Tailored presets cover drums, keys, guitars, bass, and full mixes.

  • Noise generator with vinyl, tape, and circuit noise types
  • Wobble module for analog pitch instability
  • Saturation and distortion module
  • Degrader and bitcrusher for vintage digital character
  • Reverb and volume-drop modules
