Numerical Audio describes Artifacts as an audio effect designed to add lofi vibes to any audio signal. They say that multiple sections allow for a wide variety of lofi effects ranging from noisy vintage gear over crackling vinyl players and wobbly tape machines to crunchy digital sounds and everything in between.
A spokesperson told us, "With dedicated sections for Noise, Drive, Digital and Tape, Artifacts offers a simple yet powerful way to mix and match various types of lofi effects. A separate Liveliness section makes the plugin come alive by applying subtle or extreme fluctuations to any of the 4 sections. In addition, input and output sections allow for further sound shaping before and after processing."
