LoFi provides a pallet for all things dirt. The primary tenant of this device is the impulse response library (some my own, some scavenged) of a vast array of speakers, radios, megaphones, microphones, and electronics. This can be tuned, and further sculpted with the subsequent equalizer. The waveshaper module is a variation of B-314, but with only one soft clipping mode (tanh) and replacing the others with more aggressive wave folding and wrapping. The feedback module allows signal to be mixed back with the input, with various delay times, and optionally with a Schroeder-style reverb to add diffusion. Between the delay and reverb, this is intended to simulate an expansive outdoor environment when using a bullhorn or large PA with lots of reflections off of buildings and surfaces. The feedback path includes the IR convolution, the EQ and the distortion module, so any subsequent echos will get progressively more coloured. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE FEEDBACK KNOB, it can quickly squeal if you get into a positive loop above unity. The "Analog" section provides a library of looping sampled noises that can be blended with white noise, and filtered with the flexible bandpass filter slider. This can be used to add "hiss", but also many other more specialized soundscapes. Vinyl dust pops and crackle be added in separately, with the pops being calculated probabilistically using a combination of the dust dial and setting the RPM. Wow and flutter can be used to simulate reel to reel tape as well as vinyl (vibrato). The wow frequency is linked to the RPM knob to provide one cycle per revolution (sinusoidal), as you would find on a turntable. The flutter is generally faster than wow, and I opted to make it a LPF interpolated S+H noise source to provide smoothed pseudo-random modulation. Both the left and right channel have their own random modulator so they will create some stereo widening wonkiness. The effects tab houses a bitcrusher (think early samplers/videogames/computers), a ring mod (to model a wire recorder or other motor driven recording mediums), and a noise gate. Hopefully everything works correctly. This is a complicated plugin with lots of dependancies so I wouldn't be surprised if some people encounter compatibility issues (please let me know if you do). And please be careful with your levels, especially with the feedback module. Many of the IRs feature sharp filter curves that produce resonances that can ring out and quickly get out of control. Others, like the subwoofers are prone to clipping your track. Instructions: Unzip device file and two library folders and copy directly into your default max for live effects folder (not enclosed in an additional folder). This is important for the search paths of the library files. You can also add your own IRs and noise samples, but they have to be stereo .wav files. You will have to reload the device for it to rescan the folders, which will not save your current settings. ---Update--- -bug fix, loading sequence for drop menus and convolution buffers -updated drop menus so that text follows themes and is visible with light themes -created "Portable" version that includes IRs, and doesn't need external library folders 2nd Video Demo: youtu.be/Oa46no408nU
