Opulent Audio has released bLO-FIsh, a versatile Lo-Fi synth VST plug-in for Windows PC.

bLO-FIsh incorporates classic chip type (8 bit) sounds with more traditional synth elements to bring on a huge sonic range. Flexible, extensive modulation plus a 16-step gate for more musical and rhythmic options. Plus, bLO-FIsh has a distortion effect and a CPU-friendly reverb to garnish your 8 bit feast.

bLO-FIsh features
