2. LO-FI BOX

This allows you to model sounds that appear to be playing on an AM radio, the sounds of old records played on an
old-fashioned gramophone, and even extreme deformations of the sound produced by a Lo-Fi Digital.
Parameter (full name)
LOFI (Lo-Fi Box): Produces a lo-fi sound.
Effect On/Off (Effect On/Off)
Type (Type)
When "RADIO" or "PLAYER" is selected
Tuning (Tuning)
Wow Flutter (Wow Flutter)
Noise (Noise)
Filter (Filter)
D:E Balance (Effect Balance)
When "DIGITAL" is selected
Pre Filter (Pre Filter)
Sample Rate (Sample Rate)
Bit (Bit) *
Post Filter (Post Filter)
Effect Level (Effect Level)
Direct Level (Direct Level)
Modify Filter (Modify Filter)
Cutoff Freq (Cutoff Freq)
Resonance (Resonance)
Gain (Gain)
* If an extremely low number of bits is selected, loud noise may appear even when there is no sound, depending on the input source. In such cases,
raise the threshold of the noise suppressor.

Setting Function
OFF, ON This parameter turns the lo-fi box effect on/off.
RADIO The sound will appear to be heard from an AM radio. By adjusting "Tuning,"
you can model the sounds that occur when you adjust the tuning frequency
of the radio.
PLAYER The sound will appear to be heard from a gramophone. The noise caused
by scratches and dust on the record are is modeled.
DIGITAL This allows you to create a "lo-fi" sound by lowering the sample rate and/or
decreasing the number of bits. Realtime modify filters connected in series
allow you to reshape the sound freely.
0–100 This is a parameter for "RADIO." It models the sounds that occur when you
adjust the tuning frequency of an AM radio.
0–100 This is a parameter for "PLAYER." It models the wow and flutter which
occur when the speed of the turntable is not constant.
0–100 This models noise.
0–100 Adjusts the filter.
100:0–0:100 This adjusts the volume balance of the direct and effect sounds.
OFF, ON This filter decreases digital distortion. By turning this off, you can create an
extremely lo-fi sound that includes aliasing.
OFF, 1/2–1/32 Modify the sample rate. If this is turned off, the sample rate will be the same
as the sample rate of the currently selected song.
OFF, 15–1 Modify the number of data bits. If this is turned off, the number of data bits
will be unchanged.
OFF, ON This filter decreases the digital distortion produced by lo-fi. By turning this
off, you can create an extremely lo-fi sound.
0–100 Adjust the volume of the lo-fi sound.
0–100 Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
The sound is passed through a filter to remove unwanted sound according
to the frequency specified by Cutoff Freq (cutoff frequency).
OFF The Modify Filter will not be used.
LPF A Low Pass Filter will be applied to pass the sound that is below the
specified frequency.
BPF A Band Pass Filter will be applied to pass the sound that is in the region of
the specified frequency.
HPF A High Pass Filter will be applied to pass the sound that is above the
specified frequency.
0–100 Adjust the cutoff frequency.
0–100 Adjust the resonance.
0–24 dB Adjust the volume level of the sound that has passed through the modify
filter.
