RetroLab is an AUv3 vintage effects processor that blends the character of classic hardware with the flexibility of modern sound design. Inspired by gramophones, tape decks, and worn analog circuits, RetroLab lets you recreate the warmth, instability, and imperfections of vintage recording. From subtle coloration to full sonic destruction, RetroLab is built for experimentation. Shape your sound with a collection of 18 creative modules designed to add movement, texture, and character to any source. Whether you’re adding gentle tape warmth or diving into chaotic modulation, RetroLab gives you complete control over your signal-turning clean audio into something alive, imperfect, and uniquely yours. Modules include: NOISE: Adds authentic analog-style noise, from subtle hiss and hum to heavy vinyl crackle, bringing realism and depth to your signal. GLITCH: Introduces rhythmic interruptions, stutters, and digital instability for unpredictable, broken textures. WOW & FLUTTER: Emulates the pitch instability of aging tape machines, adding movement, drift, and organic modulation. PHASER: A classic modulation effect that adds sweeping, phase-shifted motion-from subtle shimmer to deep, swirling tones. DISTORT (Overdrive / Distortion): From gentle saturation to aggressive distortion, add harmonic richness and grit to your sound. TAPE TRANSPORT: Simulates the mechanical behavior of tape systems-speed changes, slow-downs, dropouts, and transport-style artifacts CRUSHER: Degrades your signal for lo-fi digital character, from vintage sampler tones to harsh digital artifacts. FILTER MORPH: A characterful, vintage-inspired filter that shapes and sculpts your sound with smooth, musical response. From subtle tonal balance to resonant sweeps and driven coloration, it brings the movement and warmth of classic analog circuitry into RetroLab. AIR DELAY: A spatial delay effect that adds depth and atmosphere. ATMOSPHERE: Generates ambient reverberating textures and tonal layers that enhance mood and create immersive sonic environments. TAPE TRANSPORT: Simulates the mechanical behaviour of tape systems, speed changes, slow-downs, dropouts. GATE: Shapes dynamics and rhythm by cutting or sculpting the signal, from tight control to creative gating effects. RESONATOR: A musically-aware feedback resonator that turns any audio into a playable, evolving harmonic instrument. CLOUDSEED: CloudSeed is a dense, modulated algorithmic reverb based on the CloudSeed engine. RetroLab Features * Low CPU Performance - Run all 12 modules simultaneously with full modulation. * Visual Feedback - Instantly see how each module is shaping your sound with responsive, real-time visualisation. * Deep Modulation - Most parameters can be modulated, allowing you to create evolving, expressive sound transformations. * Multiple LFOs - Three independent LFOs with adjustable speed, shape, and depth. * Creative Signal Routing - Combine modules in flexible ways to build anything from subtle warmth to extreme audio destruction. * Tempo-Synced Effects - Time-based modules lock to your host tempo for tight, musical results. * Precision + Chaos - Dial in controlled, musical processing or push into unpredictable, experimental territory. * Macro Knobs - Each module features a dedicated Macro knob for quickly dialing in the amount of effect. * Intensity Control - A single master control blends between dry and fully processed signal. * Macro-Level Workflow - Shape complex multi-effect chains with simple, intuitive controls, perfect for both quick tweaks and deep sound design. * Global Tone Shaping - Refine your sound with built-in high-pass and low-pass filters, tone control, and stereo width adjustment. * Stereo Control - Adjust the width of your signal, from focused mono to wide, immersive stereo textures. * Mix-Ready Output - Easily balance, shape, and place your sound without leaving the plugin. * Restoration - Hiss and Hum removal tools.
Version History v1.07 B71 Fixed an issue which caused crashes for some people on iOS26.5. 1.07 Jun 4 v1.06 B41 This version includes a new CloudSeed module. Made various optimisations which increase performance on lower end devices. Fixes a few minor UI issues. Updated the manual. Please Note: We have had reports of a handful of people struggling to load this plugin in AUM, but works fine in other DAWs. I have not personally been able to reproduce this but we think it may be due to certain device configurations running on iOS26.5. We are looking into this issue. 1.06 May 30 v1.05 B25 - Release Candidate Added a few more presets for the new effects. Added a new effect module called Shimmer Reverb. Updated manual. 1.05 May 23 v1.04 B21 Added a new Hiss Removal module. Fixed an issue where the Hum Removal module wasn't being turned off on an init preset. Fixed the missing arrow on the Distort/Tape Saturation/Hum Removal column. Fixed an issue with smoothing on the Wow and Flutter module. Updated the manual. 1.04 May 18 v1.03 B17 Fixed an issue where BIG knobs were not always being updated correctly during external automation.. Fixed an issue which could potentially cause a crash or the visual meters to stop working. Added a new Hum removal module. This module removes low end electrical mains hum, transformer buzz, grounding noise and low-frequency interference using precision harmonic notch filtering while preserving musical tone. 1.03 May 12 v1.02 B16 Added a 60Hz hum option to the noise module for those in the US. Added a new resonator module. The Resonator module transforms incoming audio into rich, harmonically tuned feedback. Whether you feed it drums, vocals, or noise, it locks onto musical frequencies and re-injects energy in a way that feels organic, dynamic, and expressive. At its core, the module behaves like a tuned acoustic system—exciting resonant frequencies that bloom, ring, and evolve over time. Subtle settings add tonal body and warmth, while more extreme values push it into self-oscillating, synth-like territory. Updated manual with the new resonator effect. Added a link to the MasterClass #1 YouTube video to the manual. 1.02 May 8 v1.01 B14 Fixed an issue where loading presets was not resetting some module functionality correctly. Fixed a potential crash in the Glitch Module when Max Glitch is set to max of 4 beats. Added a an all new Motion effect. Improved the way the UI mini displays work so that they are smoother. Other small bug fixes and optimisations. 1.01 May 2 1.0 May 1
