UJAM unveils Retrocraft plugin with 100 presets

The Retrocraft plugin by UJAM is a multi-effect plugin designed to provide a wide range of character-processing tools integrated into a single solution. This innovative plugin includes six distinct modules: LoFi, Modulation, Instability, Delay, Reverb, and Chop, offering various sound processing capabilities. Developed by UJAM, Retrocraft aims to simplify the process of creating complex effect combinations by allowing users to start with integrated effects that can be easily customized to suit individual preferences Source.

The Retrocraft plugin by UJAM is composed of six modules, each bringing unique audio processing capabilities to enhance the sonic character of music productions. The LoFi module adds a lo-fi texture to sounds, simulating the warm imperfections of vintage audio. Modulation introduces movement and depth, offering effects that range from subtle modulation to pronounced vibrato and chorus effects. Instability provides unpredictable variations, which can emulate the modulation characteristics of analogue equipment. The Delay module enriches audio with classic echo effects, while Reverb offers spacious ambience processing to give tracks depth. Finally, the Chop module adds rhythmic variations by slicing audio in creative ways.

In addition to these core modules, the Retrocraft plugin also features enhancements like analogue-style saturation, which emulates the warmth of vintage analogue gear. Amp colouration adds character by mimicking the tonal qualities of traditional amplifiers. The plugin includes tape and vinyl emulation, as well as speaker modelling, both of which contribute to a more realistic and dynamic sound. These elements combine to enable users to transform their audio with a distinctive vintage character and enhance their creativity with comprehensive sound-shaping tools Source.

The Retrocraft plugin is provided in VST2, VST3, AU2 and AAX plug-in formats, and it supports macOS and Windows operating systems, as indicated in the product information and technical specifications supplied with the announcement, which list these specific formats and platforms.

The intro price for Retrocraft is $49, identified in the published details as the introductory price and presented as the initial purchase offer for the product in the promotional information.

Existing UJAM users are offered a loyalty price of $39, as specified in the pricing information accompanying the product announcement and promotional materials.

The retail price is listed as $99, and a separate loyalty price of $89 is also listed in the published pricing details for the product information.

“We’re big fans of the many character-processing tools available today, but we felt there was room for a more integrated solution that combines these types of effects with important additions like modulation and ambience processing.”
