LANDR Retro

Capture the golden era of lo-fi sound

LANDR Retro is a multi-layered lo-fi instrument that blends sampled electric and acoustic keyboards with analog-style synthesis and an evolving mini-wave engine. Built on three distinct sound layers, a piano foundation, a drifting synth pad, and a gritty mini-wave sub-layer, Retro lets you dial in a warm, dusty, nostalgic tone in seconds. Smart effects like Space, Dimension, and Amp, plus four vintage saturation modes including Vinyl, Digit, Bitcrush, and Tape, give every patch a mix-ready, "recorded" character straight out of the box.

Three layers, one sound

Blend sampled electric and acoustic keys, an analog-style synth pad, and a mini-wave layer to build warm, evolving tones that feel alive, from tight vintage keys to drifting lo-fi pads.

Smart effects, instant character

Fine-tune your textures with Space, Dimension, and Amp effects built for fast, expressive results. The Space engine intelligently analyzes your audio to dial in the ideal reverb. Add stereo width with Dimension or heavy drive with Amp to make your tracks cut through the mix.

Perfect your lo-fi sound

Infuse your tracks with authentic lo-fi saturation. Select from Vinyl, Digit, Bitcrush, and Tape to introduce the organic noise and texture that gives a track its soul. Whether you need the crackle of a dusty record, the lo-fi grit of an early sampler, or the warm magnetic hiss of a worn-out cassette, the final character is yours to shape.
