Thenatan's Lo-Fi effect Vybz sound review

From the conclusion, I think that it is a little unsatisfactory for those who already have multiple Lo-Fi plugins. (As an imageRC-20とReelsIt's like adding and dividing by 2.5 to 3)

However, for those who do not have a Lo-Fi plug-in yet, it is attractive in terms of price and functionality as a purchase candidate.

I don't know why, but baby audioIt seems that the technology of is used.

In this brief review, we will review the following contents roughly.

Overview of Vybz

Vybz is similar to XLN Audio's RC-20.

It can be turned on / off for each module, and the number of parameters is small and it is a simple design.

In my opinion, the quality and functionality are not as good as the RC-20.

However, there are quite a few features that are not included in the RC-20.

Features

· You can use the texture unit to overlay textures on existing audio.
-Iii verb designed for very fast, powerful and high quality reverb sound. + Convolution reverb
• Use the echo unit to get short slaps and infinite feedback.
-Use the built-in analog-style distortion to distort the signal, or use VYBZ MODERN WAVE SHAPER to shape the sound.
· With a time machine, you can choose the year of the record from 1930 to the present, and feel the lo-fi magic with VHS and dropout effects.
-Stereo enhancement, volume modulation / side chain, transformer gate, tremolo / panner are all available in the motion module.
-Ii band, most important frequencies, equalizer and dynamic EQ designed to correct the balance between low end and high end.
-Abundant presets are available, so you can start working immediately.

Vybz CPU load

It was about 7% on a Core i4770-3.5K 9GHz PC.

It's not high, but it's not low either.

On / Off of each module does not affect the CPU load.

The latency is 92.88ms.

Latency is high because it uses IR.
(No change without using IR)

Each module of Vybz

Vybz has a total of XNUMX modules.

Texture

It's called a noise generator, and it contains a total of XNUMX noise types.

And you can also load your own sample.

The LowPass and HighPass filters are installed, and the frequency of noise can be controlled.

It has a ducking function, but it is quite delicate because there is no side chain input.

For example, if you want to ducking noise with Kick, you need to apply Vybz only to Kick. (This is a little difficult to use)

III Verb

The reverb is equipped with 25 types of algorithm reverb and XNUMX types of IR reverb.

You can also read your own IR.

It also has a Low Pass and High Pass filter.

You can also hang an LFO.

ECHO

Delay that can be set separately for left and right.

You can only turn it on / off, but it also has a chorus.

It's simple, but you can change the character.

Delay can also be LFO multiplied.

damage

This is a distortion module that includes XNUMX distortion models and a bit crusher.

time Machine

For some reason, this "Time Machine" cannot turn off the module.
(Although all other modules are included ...)

The icon at the top right of the screen is VSH mode On / Off.

With "Drop out", you can reproduce the effect of interrupting sounds such as radio.

Motion

You can control the stereo, panner, and sidechain.

To be honest, this is hard to use.

In particular, the screen is too small for editing "Pumper", which has the effect of side chains.

II Band / Dynamic Eq

Two-band EQ and dynamic EQ.

It can be used for the final adjustment, but it is not very easy to use.

Real-World Simulations

It's hidden, but you can see it by clicking the icon in the upper right corner.

You can make sounds such as smartphones and radio cassette recorders with IR.

NY Comp

It's not a module, but a one-knob, but you can apply compression.

The noise added by the texture is crushed with a good feeling.

Summary

It's a pretty good plugin.

It will be considerably cheaper on sale, so I think it's a good idea to buy it at the time of sale.
