Embrace sonic imperfection
The essence of lofi lives in its flaws. Pure LoFi embraces these, transforming bitcrush into sonic blooms, wear into warmth, and noise into blissful ambience – your go-to for instant sonic degradation.
3 lofi engines
Realistic instruments, creative sampler, and lofi oscillator engines – each with 9 hardware modes emulating vintage samplers.
LoFi processor
Dial in the perfect amount of grit with 6 lofi modes and 6 shaping parameters - from subtle wear to full-on crunch.
Acoustic & synthetic
Blend multi-sampled instruments with digital oscillators and a dedicated noise layer — an open canvas for lofi sound design.
Lofi legacy
Embodying imperfection, noise, distortion, and hardware age, lofi has evolved from an unavoidable technical reality into a beloved genre-spanning musical aesthetic. From the hum of Portastudios and VHS samplers to nostalgic chillhop charm – the spirit of sonic wear-and-tear has become a cultural phenomenon.

Full spectrum lofi sound design
Add digital grain with engine-integrated hardware modes, warm it up or wear it down with the LoFi processor, and wrap it all in foley or noise for even more detail – create sounds that feel worn-in, well-traveled, and full of character.
Your lofi palette
Not just sounds, but fragments of faded memories. From fuzzy detuned keys to cassette corrosion, fuse acoustic and synthetic sounds with an extensive library of instruments, waveforms, and samples.
Realistic instruments
