Product Description
Arturia Pure LoFi Virtual Low-fidelity Synthesizer is Your go-to instrument for authentic lofi sound. Blend acoustic samples and digital oscillators, apply the charm of vintage samplers and dial in instant degradation with a powerful LoFi processor – embrace sonic imperfection. The essence of lofi lives in its flaws. Pure LoFi embraces these, transforming bitcrush into sonic blooms, wear into warmth, and noise into blissful ambience – your go-to for instant sonic degradation.
3 LOFI ENGINES, LOFI PROCESSOR, ACOUSTIC & SYNTHETIC
Realistic instruments, creative sampler, and lofi oscillator engines – each with 9 hardware modes emulating vintage samplers. Dial in the perfect amount of grit with 6 lofi modes and 6 shaping parameters - from subtle wear to full-on crunch. Blend multi-sampled instruments with digital oscillators and a dedicated noise layer — an open canvas for lofi sound design.
LOFI LEGACY
Embodying imperfection, noise, distortion, and hardware age, lofi has evolved from an unavoidable technical reality into a beloved genre-spanning musical aesthetic. From the hum of Portastudios and VHS samplers to nostalgic chillhop charm – the spirit of sonic wear-and-tear has become a cultural phenomenon. Add digital grain with engine-integrated hardware modes, warm it up or wear it down with the LoFi processor, and wrap it all in foley or noise for even more detail – create sounds that feel worn-in, well-traveled, and full of character.
LOFI ENGINES, NOISES, AND PROCESSO
Two flexible engine slots let you blend realistic instruments, a creative sampler, and a lofi oscillator. Layer dusty instrument timbres with degraded waveforms, or combine your own samples with noise-rich tones to craft that perfect lofi mood. Add life to any sound with layered noise—choose from classic hiss, hardware hum, or field recordings. Create ambiences with evolving textures, or shape percussive sounds using transient layers. Add warmth, flutter, and grit in seconds. Pick from six distinct modes — Golden Age, Velvet Frost, Vintage Glow, Dim Memories, Cathodic Tube, Fuzzy Line - and fine-tune with six parameters that control depth, wear, noise, and instability.
HARDWARE MODES AND FILTERS
Each engine features 9 hardware emulations - from legendary gear like the SP1200, MPC, and CMI, to arturia’s custom modes like deteriorate, crush, and damage. Explore the unique color and characteristics of vintage gear. Three filter modes - clean, analog, and lofi — offer rich shaping tools. sculpt warmth, tame highs, or add crunchy digital artifacts to make your sounds feel aged and alive.
YOUR LOFI PALETTE
Not just sounds, but fragments of faded memories. From fuzzy detuned keys to cassette corrosion, fuse acoustic and synthetic sounds with an extensive library of instruments, waveforms, and samples. 40+ multisampled instruments spanning bells, winds, guitars, pianos, strings, and synths - great for adding depth, nuance, and organic tone. 130+ custom digital waveforms including analog-inspired shapes, harmonic textures, and tonal artifacts - ideal for upping synthetic presence. Over 130 melodic samples with full sampler editing tools for shaping loop direction, fade and tone. Plus 190 texture and transient layers with the noise engine.
