AIR and MSXII Sound Design release "Lo-Fly Dirt" Plugin (VST, AU & AAX)

AIR Music Technology has introduced a new audio plugin in collaboration with MSXII Sound Design. Lo-Fly Dirt is a dynamic effect processor designed to deliver vintage sounds for the modern musician, allowing users to inject their tracks with the soulful dirt of yesteryears. The AIR Lo-Fly Dirt Plugin is a new take on the beloved MSXII Sound Design iOS app that shares the same name. Developed in collaboration with the sound design experts at MSXII Sound Design, this dynamic effect processor marks a historic moment as the first third-party software plugin created by AIR Music Tech for desktop and the AKAI Professional MPC hardware, bridging the gap between mobile convenience and studio-grade power. From lo-fi saturation and filtering to 8-bit gaming console mangling and vinyl noise effects, Lo-Fly Dirt brings out the sought-after textures and inherent tones of your audio sources. One twist of the classic character knob warms, lifts, and adds the classic lo-fi element to your sound design and production process, paying homage to vintage synths and audio hardware. Explore 7 Specialized Character Modes: MSXII: Basic saturation - Adds subtle character of the input sound. Simple saturation and light preset compression are added to the overall sound, bringing out the unique tones and textures of your source audio. 60: MPC60 style lo-fi saturation - This preset mode is based on selected characteristics of the iconic drum/sampler machine. Activating this button invites 12-bit nostalgia offering tasteful saturation, bits of compression, and a more rounded high end. 404 (F): Low-pass filtering - This mode adds subtle low-pass filtering to the input signal, while also applying the same filtering at 12db per octave at 11.6kHz up to 200Hz. Adds dirt while boosting the signal with minimal make-up gain and contributing small amounts of bit rate reduction. 404 (V): Vinyl emulation - Adds vinyl simulation into the Lo-Fly Dirt mix. Easily add vinyl noise to the overall mix and use the wet/dry to adjust the intensity. 1200: SP1200 style saturation - Built around the iconic drum machine, this mode brings punch, character, and dirt to any signal. A beefier variation of the 60 Mode, this option brings classic 12-bit goodness by default but allows amplification of the overall dirty character by boosting the low-mid frequencies. 8-BIT console emulation: This mode returns to the classic sound of a legendary gaming console. 8-BIT adds a bit of punch to the incoming signal, blended with 8-bit artifacts allowing brand new results. SK-5: SK-5 - Extreme lo-fi emulation built off the classic 8-bit sound—with a twist. This mode introduces high-pass filtering and enhanced punch. Moving from dry to wet activates instant dirt with a high-pass filter cutoff at 300Hz. Pricing & Availability Available for Windows and macOS (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) and Standalone MPC hardware, Lo-Fly Dirt is on sale at the KVR Marketplace for the intro price of $19.99 USD until May 20th, 2025 (regular $39.99 USD). {PRODUCT-HEADER-31209-loflydirt}.
