Lofi effect
A bitcrusher for FX I or FX II; M1 sets the sample rate, bit depth, a quality control and drift, which spreads the result in stereo.
Lofi degrades audio the digital way: fewer samples per second and fewer bits per sample. Small amounts add a dusty edge to drums and keys; extreme settings turn anything into crunchy, aliased noise. Drift widens the crushed signal across the stereo field. Sent from a few tracks at once, it gives a whole mix a shared worn-out character.
Details

Lofi is a bitcrusher. It roughens a sound by lowering its sample rate and bit depth, for lo-fi styles or just extra grit.

The guide gives no detail about the quality control (
