UJAM RETROCRAFT (Digital product)

Add Texture, Vintage Vibes, and Character

RETROCRAFT is a powerful retro effects plugin designed to transform piano chords, vocal loops, or drum beats into beautifully imperfect tracks filled with character.

This innovative tool from UJAM combines analog amps, tape machines, vinyl players, and speaker simulations with six modern FX modules, making it an essential asset for sound designers and producers. It merges the capabilities of industry-standard retro plugins with contemporary multi-effects, allowing for enhancements ranging from subtle analog warmth to intricate sound design. With RETROCRAFT, virtually any vocal or instrument can be elevated.

Radio-Ready Drive

The effects chain of RETROCRAFT begins with three vintage stages: Amplifier (tube, transistor), Player (cassette, vinyl), and Speaker (megaphone, telephone). Each stage contributes its unique drive, noise, and character, collectively forming a texture machine that transforms any bland audio or MIDI clip into a vintage-inspired recording.

Break it, Trash it, Change it

Featuring six additional effects, each with six sub-effects, RETROCRAFT allows you to further manipulate your sounds. The Lo-Fi module introduces digital distortion, crunch, or even otherworldly ring modulation to your signal. Additionally, the Instability effects provide that nostalgic vibrato reminiscent of old tape machines and record players.

Add Vibes, Space, and Groove

Enhance your audio with subtle movement and stereo width using Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser effects in the Modulation section. Create depth and size with six different types of delay and reverb. If your sound becomes too subdued, the Chop effects introduce six glitch variants to reinvigorate groove and rhythm.

150 Presets

RETROCRAFT includes over 150 presets categorized into themes like “Aging,” “Vocals,” “Retro Gear,” and “Glitchy.” Use these as starting points or sources of inspiration, and customize them to fit your creative vision.
