Relic: Free Vintage Lofi Character Plugin by Nolvra
Nolvra Relic is a free vintage lofi character effect plugin that bundles tape, vinyl, VHS and radio emulation behind a single AGE macro. The plugin is available now as a VST3 and AU download from the developer's website with no sign-up required.
One Macro, Four Emulations
Most free character tools focus on one medium — CHOW Tape Model targets reel-to-reel, iZotope Vinyl models a turntable, Caelum Audio Tape Cassette 2 simulates a cassette deck. Relic merges all four into one interface: turn the AGE knob and the plugin crossfades between tape saturation, vinyl crackle, VHS tracking artifacts and radio bandwidth filtering. Additional controls include DRIVE for input gain, MIX for wet/dry balance, and a LO/HI filter pair for tonal shaping.

Relic runs on Windows and macOS in VST3 and Audio Unit formats. The download is royalty-free for commercial and non-commercial use. No account creation, email capture, or time-limited licence is imposed — the plugin is free indefinitely.
