Retro Effects Reimagined
The go-to plugin for every instrument and vocal track
Add Texture, Vintage Vibes, and Character
RETROCRAFT is a retro effects plugin that transforms piano chords, vocal loops, or drum beats into beautifully imperfect tracks with character.
UJAM’s brand-new power tool pairs analog amps, tape machines, vinyl players, and speaker simulations with six modern FX modules for sound designers and producers. It combines the capabilities of industry-standard retro plugins with modern multi-effects for any kind of improvement, from subtle analog character to complex sound design. Practically any kind of vocal or instrument can be made better with RETROCRAFT.
Analog gear chain: Amplifier, Player, and Speaker emulations
Six multi-effect modules: Lo-Fi, Modulation, Instability, Delay, Reverb, and Chop
62 effects algorithms & 150 production-ready presets for instant inspiration
Endless supply of fresh Presets via “Surprise” dice

Watch RETROCRAFT in Action
See how to quickly build your own effects chain in RETROCRAFT by choosing an amp, playback device, and speaker model. Add creative effects, blend them with the wet/dry mix, or randomize it all with Surprise Dice to discover sounds that you would never dial in manually.
Radio-Ready Drive
RETROCRAFT’s effects chain starts with three vintage stages: Amplifier (tube, transistor), Player (cassette, vinyl), and Speaker (megaphone, telephone).
Each stage adds its own drive, noise, and character, and together they create a texture machine that turns any bland audio or MIDI clip into a vintage-vibe recording.
