Introducing Airwindows Lo-Fi Plugin Pockey
Today I would like to introduce Airwindows' Lo-Fi plug-in Pockey.
Although it is a so-called bit crusher, it is slightly different from a general bit crusher and can be finely adjusted.
And it goes well with the sound of the TB-303 series,D16 Phoscyon 2If you have obtained it, please try it.

There are only two parameters, but it's nice to be able to make fine adjustments.
I hung it on the drum.
Overview
This plugin is designed to get as much vibe as possible from the specific target of lo-fi hip-hop with 12-bit uLaw sampling. It's based on early plugins like DeRez and BitGlitter, but tweaked to give you the warm, fuzzy textures of old samplers and Pocket Operator samplers.
Pockey uses uLaw encoding to stretch 12-bit sampling to a near-CD-quality sound, but with slightly lower-bit for soft and subtle sounds, and even crunchier for louder sounds for an overall feel. and texture.The lowest setting on the resolution slider is 12-bit, and higher settings become progressively lo-fi in the "Analog Bit Crush" mode.In other words, instead of jumping from step to step, it gradually rises as you go up the steps.This way you can smoothly fade out from 4-bit to 12-bit.
This effect uses an edge-softening algorithm like PurestDrive and aims to turn the harsh frequency crashes you normally get with plug-ins into something more resonant and good-sounding.It's a kind of digitalnastics, but in a way that goes in the direction of "classic sampler digitalnastics" and suits the more somber lo-fi genre.If you want the cleanest sound possible, try taking your audio and setting the frequency control to the lowest setting to find out where it gets out of the way and which digital sampler harmonics work best for your sound. Anything near 0 should work fine.However, it always provides a soft sound for lo-fi hip-hop to provide a soothing background for life.
This is both art and science. Pockey is here to help you find art by delving into the science of how these things are done. )

Summary
There are few parameters, but it's nice to be able to make quite a few variations depending on the input sound.
It seems to be useful for Lo-Fi systems and when you want to suppress the hi-hat a little.
