Parameter Description
FX

Drive Defines the amount of saturation applied to a Sound.
SR SR stands for “sample rate”: you can use it to lower the original
sample rate in order to make the Sound more lo-fi.
Bits Allows you to lower the original bit depth of the Sound, resulting in a
more rough, digital sounding lo-fi effect.
