LOFI FLUX MACHINE
LoFi Flux Machine is an instant classic effect that can be used to add appeal, life and character to any audio signal you feed into it. Its intricate mix of analog modeled tape warble, flutter as well as a versatile tone section allow the creation of anything from subtle stereo effects to full blown creative sound transformations.
Move Through Time and Sound
LoFi Flux Machine utilizes Yum Audio’s established virtual tape circuits and uses them in a way that gives you full control over the behavior and accuracy of their Warble and Flutter effects. The plugin can be very clean and precise, or warm with beautiful inconsistencies to create the sound your music needs.
Features
● Add appeal, life and character to any audio signal
● Analog modeled Warble section for slow pitch changes
● Flutter section with four distinct movement modes
● Freely adjustable warble instability
● Warble Width control to create wide stereo manipulations
● Tone Section for characterful sound shaping
● Warm and distinct Tape Saturation

● Dark and Bright controls
● Stereo Width control a la Yum Audio’s Spread Light
● Intensity Slider to change overall processing amount
● Two time modes - free running or in sync with your session
Warble Instability, Width, and Time Sync
1Warble Instability allows you to define how accurate or lofi the warbling should be.
2Warble Width is a very useful control when you want to push your signal into the stereo field. It gradually offsets the tape heads on the left and right channel.
3Warble Time allows you to set the overall time one cycle of the tape warbling takes. Depending on the mode this can be either set in milliseconds or synced to actual note values.
Warble Instability Type, Intensity, and Flutter
1Warble Instability Type allows you to define how the errors and fluctuations of the Instability main control behave. Select between “Slow” and “Jitter.”
2The Intensity control sets the overall processing amount in the plugin and is a great way to automate all parameters at once, from a single source.
3Warble makes the virtual tapes change very gradually and slowly in pitch and allows you to make signals more interesting or wider in a subtle way.
4Flutter makes the virtual tapes change very fast in pitch and allows you to create either a very subtle pitch instability or a very noticeable effect that can become a main characteristic of your sound.
Saturate, Noise, Tone and Width
1The Saturate control allows you to add a warm and crunchy modeled tape saturation to the incoming audio.
2The Noise control gives you Yum's take on the classic audio effect. Instead of adding a constant noise loop to your signal, this effect actually generates noise based on your incoming audio signal. It will feel very natural, like some dust and grit on the tape interfering with your sound.
3Dark and Bright controls are used to adjust the Brightness or Darkness of your signal. Both go from 0 to 100 percent and apply very smooth filters with a soft and natural fall-of, that are tweaked to get musical results.
4The Width control allows you to change the stereo width of your plugins output signal, using our proven algorithm from Spread Light.
Four Movement Types
There are four, carefully crafted, flutter movement types included in flux machine. Each has been tweaked to add unique variation and movement to the sound. Pristine, Flux, Wonky and Loose
