About Doctor Vibe - Lo-fi Effect
Doctor Vibe puts the sound of the classic sampling workflow in your DAW. Three handcrafted DSP modules: a warm vinyl emulation, gritty hardware converters, and muscular Detroit-style compression. Working together, we think they create a truly special effect! Vinyl Emulation - Adjustable signal bandwidth for subtle warmth - Synthesized noise and crackle, not simple white noise - High-quality wow & flutter engine with adjustable ratio - Geometric needle distortion, subtle to extreme Hardware Converters - Hardware-style input stage with bespoke clipping algorithm - Sample rates from 3.9 kHz to 44.1 kHz with sparkly aliasing artifacts - Selectable bit depth (8μ, 12, 16, 20) - Three anti-aliasing filters modeled after classic samplers - Selectable anti-imaging filters for fine-tuning brightness Mix Slammer - Modeled after a famous single-knob compressor from an early 00s workhorse - Flexible gain staging - Easy parallel compression via wet control - Envelope attack, release, and quality controls Core Features - Morph Settings for smooth transitions between two complete configurations - Auto Bypass saves CPU when input is silent - AB settings comparison - HQ mode with 4x oversampling and ADAA - One-click loudness matching - All parameters automatable with precise playback - Light and dark interface modes - Internal undo/redo - Auto gain - Use your AUv3 plug-in in a compatible host app or DAW - Standalone app includes support, manual links and in-app purchase options for license purchase Two-week trial included, one-time purchase for full unlock. Unlock your plug-in via in-app purchase from the standalone app or activate in the plug-in using an existing desktop license. Your in-app purchase activates the plug-in on all of your iOS devices. Owners can claim a crossgrade code in the standalone app to receive a discount on a desktop license.
