I tweeted 2x and get a 403 Broken link or so, hope you can fix this soon, when I read lofi and tape, I get all excited :D

It seems to be working for me and others, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Send me an email at lucasashland@gmail.com and I'll send you the max for live patch.

Thanks for reporting the problem!

Damn this sounds completely realistic. Good job!! Any chance of getting a stereo version of this??

Lol, now it worked, yesterday nada, I was just about to try on Chrome if it still didn't work in Safari, anyway problem solved, thanks for the feedback.

I have a stereo version made already, but I kind of like how it converts everything to mono like a cassette play might do. I'll probably integrate an optional stereo mode in the next version.

I'm happy to see you got it working Anivia!

Yeah, I'm very glad.

+1 for stereo mode, definitely nice to have both imho!

I didn't really have time yet to check this out but will do and will vote and comment when I did.

Cheers!

great thing! could you do possibility to disable filter in the next version ? it would be nice to process the signal using only the modulation module. also, maybe add the 'flutter' module? I'm looking max4live analog to "wow and flutter" plugin for a very long time. and it looks like your only who does something similar.

First of all thanks for leaving some feedback!

I'll definitely add an option to disable the filter. I actually thought I did bypass the filter, but I guess I forgot to do that in the version I released on my website.

And yeah, This is the perfect effect to do the wow and flutter. If you set the depth super low and the rate at a super high setting, you can almost get a wow and flutter style effect. I'll definitely study that effect a little more and add a different flutter style presets.


+1 for disabling the filter.

i absolutely LOVE this little plugin, it sounds amazing right out of the box. the only thing i wish for is being able to bypass the filter as easily as the compressor :)

this is a one of a kind patch, I really appreciate the download!

Hey guys

Uploaded a new version of this effect today

Sorry to make you tweet about it but it's really help spread the word about this effect

Have fun destroying sounds

Hi,

When I reload my Live set, the Lofi player doesn't keep my settings (compressor bypass, mod shape, mono/stereo...).

I have to reedit them on each session opening.

Any clue??

I'll update the patch soon and let you know what the problem is. I must have added something that messed with Ableton's ability to save the settings. Thanks for letting me know about this
