Trio
The deal
$3 at Loot Audio, down from $60 (95% off). The sale runs through September 23, 2026.
What it is
Trio is a multi-effects plugin that runs 15 hand-coded lofi processors at once - bitcrush, tape wow and flutter, vinyl noise, valve warmth, reverb, stutter, a BBD-style chorus, granular dust, filter sweeps, ping-pong delay, saturation, EQ, bus compression and stereo width - all wired in series inside one window. It's built to turn a clean signal into a warped, tape-worn sound in a single pass instead of stacking six separate plugins.
Who it's for
Producers working in lofi hip-hop, bedroom pop, lofi house, or any style built around a tape-warped, vinyl-dusted aesthetic. Also useful for anyone who wants one heavy-character insert on drums, vocals or a full mix instead of managing a long effects chain.
Key features
- All 15 effects run simultaneously across three linked pages rather than one at a time, so the tabs are just a way to view the chain, not switch between effects
- The plugin ships with 100 factory presets across 9 folders, and every preset uses the full signal chain rather than leaving parts idle
- The built-in chorus is modeled on the bucket-brigade circuit of a classic 80s synth, giving it real stereo drift instead of a generic sine-swept delay
- Each effect has genuine per-effect bypass, so switching one off actually stops it from processing and frees up CPU
