D16 Decimort 2 High-Quality Bit Crusher.
Decimort: Unveil the Vintage Warmth
Capture the essence of classic samplers with Decimort. We meticulously recreate the rich character and subtle imperfections that defined those early days of digital audio, adding a touch of magic to your sounds.
More Than Just Bit Crushing
Decimort goes beyond basic bit-crushers. With its advanced controls, you can sculpt your sound to perfection. Shape your tone with an adjustable anti-alias filter, image filter, and more. Explore two alternative quantization algorithms for ultimate control over the lo-fi effect.
Multimode Filter for Precision
Decimort's versatile multimode filter provides both pre and post-processing options, letting you refine your sound with surgical precision. A powerful resampler module further expands your creative potential.
Unearthing the Vintage Magic
Electronic music producers have long cherished the unique sound of classic samplers. These early units, like the Akai and E-MU models, imbued sounds with a distinct 'grit' and 'color,' making them sit perfectly in a mix. Decimort captures this essence, faithfully reproducing the encoding techniques, lower sample rates, and bit depths that defined that era.
Beyond Emulation: A Modern Powerhouse
Decimort transcends vintage emulation. It's a full-fledged bit-crusher with a built-in filter, capable of pushing boundaries and delivering dramatic sonic transformations. Unleash your creativity and explore a world of lo-fi possibilities!
Features:
- Two quantization methods - Two available quantization methods; the mid-raiser and mid-tread decimation algorithms, each of them characterized by a drastically different dynamics response.
- Approximation filter - A very steep low-pass pre filter (Approximative Filter) coupled with the resampling frequency that removes all harmonic content above it, ensuring no aliasing will appear below this frequency in the spectrum.
- The highest quality low-quality effect:
- - While this tagline may seem like an oxymoron on the surface, allow us to explain: The advanced signal processing algorithms within Decimort simulate the complex behavior of the entire (re-)sampling path that exists in every AD/DA converter, and with version 2 comes far greater control over the process!
- - Decimort has zero internal aliasing—in fact, the only aliasing present is the emulated aliasing of the classic samplers we modeled when creating it. Unwelcome artefacts are completely absent in the processed signal: only the desirable, modeled ones remain.
- Adjustable jitter - An unprecedented feature in the bit crusher’s world which introduces short-period, random fluctuations to the resampling frequency, thus making the process even more sonically interesting by producing a type of harmonic distortion you’ve likely never heard in this context
- Images filter - Post-resampling filter (Images filter) is synchronized with the resampler, gives control over amount of aliasing images appearing above resampling frequency when enabled.
- Two in One - Decimort is also equipped with analog-like filters with adjustable resonance that allow further sculpting of the signal. These can be used to smooth the sound or remove sonic artefacts introduced into the signal path by the modeling process to your taste.
- Controllable dithering - Dithering was conceptually developed as means to reduce audible quantization errors by masking the harmonic distortions they cause. We added controllable dithering to increase number of ways in which you can (mal)treat the sound.
- ADC emulation with zero internal aliasing and no harmonics above 22kHz
- Several UI sizes and HiDPI support for better screen fit
- MIDI Learn for easy controller assignment
