Arturia LoFi 1.0.0

The instrument for you to have authentic lofi sound. Combining audio samples and digital oscillators, applying the charm of vintage samples and dialing down the instantaneous quality loss with powerful LoFi processing – capturing the imperfections of sound.

Representing imperfections, noise, distortion and hardware age, lofi has evolved from an unavoidable engineering practice to a beloved musical aesthetic that spans genres.

Key Features
