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 does 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 has 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.
The Magical Movement Machine
Animate, morph, and re-groove your sounds
Surreal Transformations
With Finisher DYNAMO you embark on a journey through animated soundscapes and surreal vibes beyond the realm of the ordinary. Every Finisher FX plug-in is designed to deliver the power and flexibility of a full rack of audio processors and effects with the instant gratification that UJAM products are famous for.

Worlds of Sound
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 it to your delight...
- Remix - Designed to be used on full tracks and mixes for immediate remixing potential
- Solo - Optimized for use on basses and other single-voiced sounds
- Rhythm - Optimized for use on drums and percussion
- Sustain - Optimized for use on pads and sounds that are rhythmically static
- Vocal - Generate vocal chops and glitches from your own vocal tracks
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!
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!
The 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. You Pick!
Finisher RETRO’s models are presented in decades, from the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. Each mode is carefully crafted by UJAM's sound designers to give you an authentic snapshot of a great sound from that decade.
Tweak-o-Rama
Don’t worry, you’re never stuck with RETRO’s presets. The FINISHER and VARI knobs let you easily push each preset in different directions from “light and subtle hint” to “laying it on real thick!”
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-the 90s.
- 100 individual presets created from the modes.
- FINISHER and VARI knobs for fast, easy tweaking.
Welcome to Your New Laboratory...
