Vintage Sounds For The Modern Musician

The AIR Lo-Fly Dirt Plugin is a fresh take on the beloved MSXII Sound Design iOS app of the same name. Created in collaboration with MSXII Sound Design, this powerful effect processor marks a milestone as the first third-party software plugin from AIR Music Tech for desktop and AKAI Professional MPC hardware—bridging mobile simplicity with professional studio power.

A Time Machine of Sound

More than just a tool, the Lo-Fly Dirt Plugin is a journey through audio history, reimagined for today’s producer. Inject soulful textures, lo-fi grit, and vintage warmth into your tracks with intuitive control and deep creative potential.

7 Specialized Character Modes

With seven unique character modes, Lo-Fly Dirt delivers a wide array of sonic options to bring out the best in your sound design. From subtle saturation to gritty 8-bit artifacts, there’s a mode for every creative moment:

• MSXII: The original saturation and compression preset from the iOS app, delivering smooth, subtle warmth.
• 60: Based on the iconic MPC60, this mode delivers 12-bit nostalgia with tasteful saturation and soft highs.
• 404 (F): Adds 12db/oct low-pass filtering, dirt, and a touch of bit rate reduction for a filtered, crunchy vibe.
• 404 (V): Introduces vinyl noise, warmth, and buzz via a flexible wet/dry control.
• 1200: Inspired by the SP1200, this beefier mode enhances low-mids and adds vintage bite.
• 8-BIT: Evokes classic gaming console grit with bold, punchy textures and nostalgic artifacts.
• SK-5: Pushes 8-bit emulation further with added high-pass filtering and extreme lo-fi character.
