Minta Foundry Patina 1.0.3

Vinyl Simulation with Physical Modeling

Patina is a vinyl audio plugin that recreates the full analog experience — from crackle and vinyl warp to worn stylus grit, ghost echo, and RIAA coloration. It models every detail of vinyl playback, including stylus mechanics, groove characteristics, and analog circuitry warmth.

Under the Hood: Every Detail, Modeled

Patina recreates the distinct characteristics of vinyl playback, from the physical mechanics of the stylus to the warmth of analog circuitry.

Features

• Crackle: 25 surface noise textures with shaping controls for volume, width, filtering, and physical impact on the audio
• Vinyl Age: Years of accumulated wear modeled as high-frequency softening, an increased noise floor, and gentle compression
• Vinyl Warp: Slow pitch wobble from a warped disc — the effect deepens gradually as it approaches the inner grooves
• Vinyl Drift: Smooth once-per-revolution pitch drift caused by an off-center spindle hole — subtle and always moving
• Inner Groove Distortion: Intermodulation distortion and high-frequency loss from the reduced groove velocity near the record label
• Stylus Resonance: The cartridge's natural resonant peak — a high-frequency lift that adds brightness, air, and presence
• Worn Stylus: Dulled highs, added grit, and increased noise from a diamond tip worn down by hundreds of hours of play
• Stylus Pinch: Frequency-doubling distortion from the stylus shifting against the groove walls under heavy bass content
• RIAA Character: Tonal coloration from vinyl's analog signal chain — adding warmth, gentle saturation, and cushioned bass
• RIAA Mismatch: Shifts the playback EQ correction curve between warm, lush and ful
