Add authentic crackles, hisses, and hums with precise control over the noise elements. Use the Tone, Vibe, Duck/Follow, and Speed controls to shape the noise to fit your track perfectly. Choose from the following modes: 

• Vinyl - Emulates the crackly and wind-like noise floor of a vinyl disc for that retro feel found on classic records
• VHS - Provides the static-like noise floor of a VHS (video home system) associated with media released in the late 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s.
• Cassette - Produces the underwater-sounding noise floor of a cassette tape, very familiar to people growing up between the 60’s and 90’s.
• Tape - Emulates the high-hiss noise floor sound of a tape machine giving you the power to inject a well known sound of the past into your productions.
• Custom - Load additional textures from your computer to create endless tonal options. Choose from a list of factory supplied textures including Damaged VHS, Dusty Tape and many others, or load your own unique texture.
  

Choose from the default Impulse Response with adjustable controls, a list of factory impulse response devices such as headphones, speakers and more, or load your own impulse response.  Factory modes include:

• Classic - the default mode, with Range and Amount controls to sculpt the JST Custom Impulse Response to your track.
• Device - Choose from Headphones 1, Headphones 2, Piezo, Phone, Small Speaker, Speaker and Tablet.
• Custom IR - You can load in a custom Impulse Response to customize the sound, making the end result truly yours.
  

Use the mix slider to engage parallel processing.

Provides harmonic saturation and glue or smooth and broken-up overdrive. Use the Drive, Growl and Voicing controls to seamlessly sculpt the perfect analog distortion​, giving your tracks a flavor of history. Choose from the available two modes:

• Tape: Provides the well-loved harmonic saturation and glue-like characteristics found on tape. These qualities are sought after by many audio enthusiasts.
• Tube: Emulates the warm and smooth sound of tube distortion. Use Tube to add some extra life and crisp harmonic saturation to your source audio.
  

Engage these effects to finalize your sound. Whether you want to bitcrush, comb filter or warp the pitch of your audio. JST LOFI has you covered! These refining effects consist of:

• Tape Stop - Gives you the classic Tape Stop slowing down effect, without having to leave the plugin.
• Erosion - Adds an additional distortion to the audio with crunch and grainy characteristics.
• Warp - Provides pitch variations to your track similar to tape flutter, adding inconsistencies.
• Crush - A bitcrushing effect to change to sample rate and sample depth of your audio.
• Retroverb - A comb filtering effect, perfect for providing movement with automation.
