Resampler & Bitcrusher

Destroy any mix in bits and pieces

Degrader is a combined resampler and bitcrusher plugin. It can be used to simulate the sound of vintage digital gear, as a lofi-effect or distortion unit. Since all parameters are fully automatable it’s a handy plugin for creating unique and interesting drops, sweeps and other transitions.

Features

  • Resamples between 250 Hz and 96 kHz
  • Low pass filter with different characteristics both pre and post resampling.
  • Bit depth can continuously be altered between 3 and 24 bits.
  • Additional distortion algorithm.
  • Parameter linking (control several parameters with one knob)
  • Input and output gain control.
  • Dry / Wet mix.
  • Several factory presets simulating different vintage gear.

1→

Filter bubble

Choose low pass filter character before and after resampling (off, low-q, high-q). Frequency is fixed to half the sample rate value.

2→

Resampler

Control the amount of jitter, plus any sample rate between 250 Hz and 96kHz.

3→

Crush them bits

Go as low as 3 bits of low resolution, and if that isn't enough - saturate until unrecognizable.

4→

Master them bits

Use Input/Output to trim the gain levels, set the blend with the unprocessed signal, and A/B-test the effect with the Power button
