LO-FI is a distorted, gritty producer toolkit that turns intentional imperfection and extreme processing into playable instruments beyond traditional hip-hop and EDM collections.

Using pitch shifting, distortion and degradation, LO-FI transforms synths, keys, orchestral textures and guitars into expressive instruments full of dark, gritty textures – for hip-hop beats, atmospheric soundtracks or experimental electronic music. The interface pairs an XY pad with four selectable macro effects that change several parameters at once with a vintage knob-per-function design. A single page gives you dual modulatable filters, a 16-step arpeggiator, multi-mode portamento and effects to widen, pulse, distort, delay and spatialise the sound.
