retro grade SSS127

Get retro grade

_retro grade is that lo-fi tape meets digital effect that everyone loves for Ableton Intro. 128 lo-fi to study by presets + 12 controls to make anyone a master of magnetics in no time.

Glue, saturate, warble, add noise, crush, and degrade your way back to the prehistoric ages with this Ableton Intro compatible effects rack. Go from slightly hazy vibes, to “that’s definitely lo-fi,” to utterly broken, with this all-in-one tape inspired multi-effect. We even added a “scrub” control that allows you to mess around with the tape speed directly and glitch it out for some pretty unique results.

Our aim was to make an easy to effect, that everyone seems to want, but make it work in Ableton Intro with stock devices. We hope it serves you well for all your over-the-top tape style effects.

Degradation rules the nation.
