Never Again a Boring Audio Track
Know that feeling when you got a great basic track laid down, but you just can’t get it to sound interesting? Sure you do, UJAM do too, and that’s why they designed the Finisher series. You are freed from the pressure to know what’s going on. Trust your ears to be inspired – and make your tracks more beautiful, interesting, bigger, tougher, or change them entirely – while your focus remains on your music.
Focus on Music
At UJAM, they want you to focus on the only important thing: Your music! The super-simplified interface guarantees sound design inspiration without headaches. A dash of fresh inspiration for musicians, producers, sound designers and even podcasters.
Special FX
It’s not just an effect. It is the solution to not having to use a plethora of effects. You could think of a Finisher as a channel strip with virtually unlimited slots for effect processors, all of which can be switched on and off at the change of the Mode. Finisher NEO uses 27 different effect algorithms of all types – from simple Chorus to Multiband Distortion, from Convolution to Grain Pitch, from Multimode Filters to Multitap Delays while Finisher VOODOO uses up to 40 effect modules from multiband compression and distortion, convolution, modulation effects, Filters, EQs to envelope following and granular Effects. Accelerate, modulate, agitate, swirl and catapult your sounds without restraint. With more than 50 individual effect modes in Finisher FLUXX, you’ll never run out of possibilities!
Keep it Simple
UJAM have designed Finisher to be hyper-simplified at surface level. No complicated setup, no armada of knobs and buttons, no learning curve. Just browse through the ready-made Modes (scripted and automated multi-effect chains under the hood) and enjoy the – probably – most straightforward and delightful sound-design process ever.

Finisher DYNAMO comes with 50 carefully designed audio effect configurations built from 27 different algorithms – from Step Filters to Multiband Distortion, from simple Delays to Convolution Reverb and many more!
The five categories of Modes in DYNAMO were programmed with specific use-cases in mind. Just pick a preset from a category and fine-tune to your delight…
- 1. REMIX – Designed to be used on full tracks and mixes for immediate remixing potential

The happy accident machine
There’s so much going on under the hood that it’s often hard to predict what will happen when you turn a knob in DYNAMO. A huge part of its appeal!
Pattern
DYNAMO is all about moving sounds – here you can select a rhythmical pattern that best suits your production.
Vari Knobs
The Variation Knobs adjust musically useful aspects of the current Mode – e.g. switch modulation rates, set EQ characteristics, change distortion curves and much more, often at the same time!
RETRO – Instant Old School Flavours – Rediscovering Glorious Tones
Do you ever play classic records and think “That. Sounds. GREAT! How do I get that 60s (or 70/80/90s) vibe in my track?” With Finisher RETRO, it’s easy. UJAM’s experts have done the hard work and captured the classic reverbs, delays, flangers, tubes, tape hiss and magic for you. Just load RETRO and go!
A Complex Web of Effects
RETRO is so much more than just one effect. Each of its modes is a web of up to 20 interconnected sound modules. It’s like having a huge pedalboard AND rack of studio gear with everything set just right.
- Like Instagram filters for your audio.
- 50 modes presented in decades, from 60-90s.
- 100 individual presets created from the modes.

FLUXX – The Evil Genius of Creative FX – Deconstruct, transform and animate your sounds.
Welcome to Your New Laboratory…
Since the beginning of sound design, audio scientists have been toiling away in their labs… Micro-dosing fuzz boxes, sample rate reduction, and feedback artifacts in careful proportions.
There was always one big question unsolved: “Can’t we use all of these at once?” But with 50 unique effect chains squeezed into a single FX unit, the risk would be too high. It would simply explode, right?
Finisher FLUXX is the mad professor’s answer in big glowing letters: YES! The experiment has produced a creative effect plug-in that is certain to animate your sounds. Super-charging them while deconstructing them on a subatomic level: From quirky to epic. Your lab has been upgraded and whatever you may call this creation of yours, it’s come alive!
The Mechanism
- Get sounds moving: From granular beat cutting to step-sequenced distortion
- From light & floating to dark & saturated
- Easy creative control
- Perfect for taking any bland, static sound and adding an instant “Oh ****” factor
Unshackle Your Mad Scientist
Accelerate, modulate, agitate, swirl and catapult your sounds without restraint. With more than 50 individual effect Modes, you’ll never run out of possibilities!
If you want to tinker with sonic shaping, stereo modulation, signal polishing and deadly degradation, FLUXX gives you the perfect interface to unleash your favourite experiment.
Bring Dead Sounds Back to Life
It’s time to throw every detail of your sound into sharp relief. You control its size, heat, ambience, and other elements with potent precision. But even the best producers will never know how you did it–putting you on the bleeding edge of mad sound design.
Master Complex Effect Chains
Nothing slaughters creativity faster than a patch cord eyesore. With FLUXX, all the complex routing is safely hidden away so you can stay laser-focused on sound design.
Every Mode is carefully pre-set so that you can have maximum flexibility without spending hours just on learning a new interface. You can plot and scheme to your mischievous heart’s content, without ever being slowed down by excessive controls.
Finisher Control
Dial-up the saturation, delay, doubletracking, phasing, depth, darkness and more and listen as your audio devolves into an entirely new soundscape. This “magic” knob reacts differently with every preset–sometimes with grace, but more often with rage.
Variation Controls
4 individual macro controls with surgical precision, each controlling a separate effect cluster. Only the bold dare touch these, as most of the time you’ll conjure up more chaos than you can handle simply by changing presets and dialling the Finish knob up to max.
Shape (Vari4)
Do you like your sounds crushed tight and neatly wrapped up? Or jolted, given life and thrown into max resolution? The Shape control gives you a quick way to carve out the frequency spectrum to your liking, without spending hours labouring over the right EQ settings.
If your sounds feel cold and static, run them through FLUXX and electrify them–you’ll be surprised every single time. Time to bring them to life!
