Minta Foundry – Patina v1.0.3 for WiN

Patina is a vinyl audio plugin that recreates all the characteristics of analog sound—from the crackle and warmth of a favorite record to the subtle imperfections of the needle, groove, and turntable.

Patina captures all the characteristic features of vinyl record playback—from the physical properties of the stylus to the warmth of analog circuitry.

Crackle

25 surface noise textures with adjustable volume, width, filtering, and physical sound effects

Vinyl Age

Years of use simulated as high frequency softening, increased noise levels and a slight compression effect

Vinyl Warp

A slow change in pitch due to the warping of the disc – the effect intensifies as you approach the inner grooves.

Vinyl Drift

A smooth change in pitch once per revolution caused by a shift in the spindle bore – subtle but constant

Inner Groove Distortion

Intermodulation distortion and loss of high frequencies due to a reduction in groove speed near the label

Stylus Resonance

The cartridge’s natural resonant peak is a high-frequency boost that adds brightness, airiness, and volume to the sound.

Worn Stylus

Muted highs, increased grain and noise due to a diamond tip worn down by hundreds of hours of playback

Stylus Pinch

Distortion with frequency doubling due to displacement of the stylus relative to the groove walls when playing heavy bass sounds.

RIAA Character

Tonal coloration of the analog vinyl signal chain – imparts warmth, subtle richness, and softened bass to the sound

RIAA Mismatch

Shifts the equalizer correction curve during playback towards warm, rich and full sounds or bright, energetic and midrange sounds

Vinyl Compression

Mechanical groove compression – bass energy modulates high frequencies, creating subtle pulsation and high frequency decay

Ghost Echo

Sound leakage from adjacent grooves – loud passages leave subtle ghostly traces in adjacent grooves

Turntable Rumble

Low frequency vibration from the motor and platter bearings – sub-bass is felt rather than heard

Stereo Field

Adjusts the width of the stereo sound – from narrow mono sound to wide, spacious stereo sound

Mastering House

Four different mastering options – each with its own lathes, tape machines and distinct sonic signature
