Simulates a sound recorded on an analog record and played back on a
record player. This effect also simulates the various types of noise that are
typical of a record, and even the rotational irregularities of an old turntable.

Description
Degrades the sound quality. The sound qual-
ity 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
Simulates the tuning noise of a radio. As this
value is raised, the tuning drifts further.

Description
Depth of distortion
Frequency response of the playback system
Decreasing this value will produce the im-
pression of an old system with a poor fre-
quency response.
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
Volume of continuous "hiss"
Volume of overall noise
Depth of long-cycle rotational irregularity
Depth of short-cycle rotational irregularity

Description
Adjusts the pitch of the pitch shift-
ed sound in semitone steps.
Adjusts the pitch of the pitch shift-
ed sound in 2-cent steps.
Adjusts the delay time from the
direct sound until the pitch shifted
sound is heard.
Adjusts the proportion of the
pitch shifted sound that is fed
back into the effect. Negative (-)
settings will invert the phase.
