“Restoration” category.
Grungelizer
The Grungelizer adds noise and static to your recordings
– kind of like listening to a radio with bad reception, or a
worn and scratched vinyl record. The available parameters
are as follows:

RoomWorks
RoomWorks is a highly adjustable reverb plug-in for creat-
ing realistic room ambience and reverb effects in stereo
and surround formats. The CPU usage is adjustable to fit
the needs of any system. From short room reflections to
cavern-sized reverb, this plug-in delivers high quality re-
verberation. RoomWorks has the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Crackle This adds crackle to create that old vinyl record sound.
The farther to the right you turn the dial, the more crackle
is added.
RPM switch When emulating the sound of a vinyl record, this switch
lets you set the RPM (revolutions per minute) speed of
the record (33/45/78 RPM).
Noise This dial regulates the amount of static noise added.
Distort Use this dial to add distortion.
EQ Turn this dial to the right to cut off the low frequencies,
and create a more hollow, lo-fi sound.
AC This emulates a constant, low hum of AC current.
Frequency
switch
This sets the frequency of the AC current (50 or 60Hz),
and thus the pitch of the AC hum.
Timeline This dial regulates the amount of overall effect. The far-
ther to the right (1900) you turn this dial, the more notice-
able the effect.
Parameter Description
Low Freq Frequency at which the low shelving filter takes effect.
High Freq Frequency at which the high shelving filter takes effect.
Both the high and low filters EQ the input signal prior to
reverb processing.
Low Gain The amount of boost or cut for the low shelving filter.
High Gain The amount of boost or cut for the high shelving filter.
Pre-Delay The amount of time before the onset of reverb. This al-
lows you to simulate larger spaces by increasing the time
it takes for first reflections to reach the listener.
Reverb Time Reverb Time in milliseconds.
Size This alters the delays times of early reflections to simulate
larger or smaller spaces.
Diffusion This affects the character of the reverb tail. Higher diffu-
sion is smoother while less diffusion can be clearer. This
emulates changing the types of surfaces in a room (brick
vs. carpet for instance).
Width This controls the width of the stereo image. 100% gives
you full stereo reverb. At 0%, the reverb is all in mono.
Variation Pressing this button will generate a new version of the
same reverb program using altered reflection patterns.
This is helpful when certain sounds are causing odd ring-
ing or undesirable results. Creating a new variation will of-
ten solve these issues. There are 1000 possible variations.
Hold Pressing this button freezes the reverb buffer in an infinite
loop (yellow circle around button). You can create some
interesting pad sounds using this feature.
Low Range This determines the frequency below which low damping
will occur.
