LowSane

About

Welcome to the world of breaking down the digital world! Yes, in the music production world, people are proud to record on 24bit and 192kHz to provide pristine audio for music lovers. BUT... people are keen on crushing things as well, which means that LoFi audio quality is not a side effect of cheap children's toys, but has become a creative tool in today's music creation and post-audio productions! Who could have thought of that in the 80s, when everybody screamed for 16bit instead of 8bit?!

Yes, humans are creative, and many years later the ‘LoFi’ sound sculpting became an art of its own.

Well, LowSane adapts to this creative process and adds some additional creative options like the ‘Disrupt Sphere’ to this world of crushing down the digital bits!

It offers in the audio route a Distortion module, Band Pass / Notch Filter, Lo-Fi section, Hi and low Pass Filters, and a Noise Gate. These parameters can be controlled by the ‘Disrupt Sphere’. Additionally, there is an Audio Follower which again can control the “Disrupt Sphere” or any of the other parameters.
