Description
Finisher Micro from UJAM is a one-knob multi-effect plugin that chains together complex combinations of professional-grade audio effects behind a radically simplified interface. Rather than loading individual chorus, reverb, compression, and distortion plugins, you browse 25 curated effect Modes and control everything with a single Amount knob.
Each Mode is a carefully scripted chain of multiple effect algorithms working together, drawn from over 40 processor types including multiband distortion, convolution, grain pitch shifting, multimode filters, and multi-tap delays. The Amount knob simultaneously adjusts every parameter in the active chain at varying degrees, so a single turn might speed up a phaser while introducing distortion and blending in reverb.
Mode switching happens without audio dropouts, letting you audition different effect combinations in real time during playback. The four-control interface (Amount, Mode, Input, Output) keeps the focus on creative experimentation rather than parameter management.
Originally born from the Finisher section in UJAM's Virtual Guitarist CARBON, the concept proved so popular that users requested it as a standalone plugin. It serves as an entry point to the broader Finisher series, delivering a cross-section of the multi-effect chain philosophy that powers the paid editions.
Finisher Micro runs as a 64-bit plugin in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats on Windows 8 or later and macOS 10.11 or later, with native Apple Silicon support. Authorization is handled through a UJAM account with no iLok required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Finisher Micro differ from UJAM Finisher NEO?
Finisher Micro offers 25 effect Modes with a single Amount knob, while Finisher NEO expands this to 50 Modes built from 27 different algorithms and adds additional variation knobs for deeper control over each effect. Micro is the entry point to the Finisher concept, and NEO is the full-featured paid upgrade.
Can Finisher Micro be used on any type of audio track?
Yes. While UJAM designed it as a companion for their virtual instruments, Finisher Micro works on any audio source including vocals, drums, guitars, synths, and full mixes. Each Mode responds differently depending on the input material, so the same preset can produce very different results across instruments.
Does Finisher Micro require a UJAM account to use?
Yes, you need to create a free UJAM account and sign up for the UJAM newsletter to receive your license. Authorization is handled through your UJAM email and password directly within the plugin, with no iLok or physical dongle needed.
