Description
Selects the type of filter applied to
the sound before it passes through
the Lo-Fi effect.
Degrades the sound quality. The
sound quality grows poorer as this
value is increased.
Type of filter
OFF: no filter is used
LPF: cuts the frequency range
above the Cutoff
HPF: cuts the frequency range
below the Cutoff
Basic frequency of the Post Filter
Volume balance between the direct
sound (D) and the effect sound (W)

Basic frequency of the Post Filter
Simulates the tuning noise of a ra-
dio. As this value is raised, the tun-
ing drifts further.

Description
Depth of distortion
Frequency response of the playback
system
Decreasing this value will pro-
duce the impression of an old
system with a poor frequency re-
sponse.
Rotational speed of the turntable
This will affect the frequency of
the scratch noise.
Amount of noise due to scratches
on the record
Volume of noise due to dust on the
record
