Capture the gritty, coveted sound of the iconic early-2000s "303" phrase sampler right inside your DAW or favorite Audio Unit host. LP-33 Sim is a deeply researched audio unit plugin featuring 8 painstakingly reverse-engineered effects, headlined by the prized Vinyl Simulation processor.

Countless hours of A/B testing, spectral analysis, and machine-learning-assisted matching went into replicating the exact sonic character of Vinyl Sim and the other choice effects. From the aggressive, pumping compression that practically defines classic hip-hop, to the warm wow-and-flutter and authentic dust and crackle, LP-33 Sim delivers the true gold standard of lo-fi production.

Key Features

• The Ultimate Vinyl Sim: A painstakingly faithful replication of the hardware's legendary ducking compression, pitch flutter, crackling, and lo-fi grit.
• 8 Meticulously Replicated Effects: Vinyl Sim, Flanger, Chorus, Lo-Fi, Isolator, Pitch, FilterDrive, and Radio.
• Modern Stereo Enhancements: Classic mono effects expanded for wide, modern stereo fields, plus AM/FM Radio simulation.
• ML-Assisted Precision: Exacting sonic matching built through rigorous spectral analysis and A/B listening tests.
• Retro Interface: An intuitive, hardware-inspired UI that feels instantly familiar.

Host Compatibility

LP-33 Sim Studio is a VST3 and AUv3 plug-in. Most Mac DAWs with the exception of Pro Tools can host one if not both of these plugin types. But it's good to verify before you buy.
