1. The Quantizer<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"D16-Decimort2-01\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
<\/p>\n
The Quantizer<\/strong> determines the extent to which the amplitude (a value corresponding to loudness) of the signal is degraded.<\/p>\n\n- The resolution<\/strong> alters the quality of the sound by reducing the number of bits available to the sound\u2019s waveform. Bits are responsible for determining how detailed we can get with expressing differences in amplitude. Note that in practice, the number of amplitude values available is 2 raised to the power of this value. For example, a 4 bit resolution results in 16 possible amplitude values. The resolution and the resampling frequency<\/strong> (which we\u2019ll get to shortly) together make up the main \u201ccrushing\u201d aspects of bitcrushing.<\/li>\n
- Dithering<\/strong> adds white noise to a signal to cover up the unwanted artifacts of quantization. In other words, dithering masks ugly noise with a more \u2018musical\u2019 noise. The rotary knob adjusts the amount of this noise that you\u2019re adding to the signal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
2. The Resampler<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
The Resampler<\/strong> is the heart of Decimort 2, containing the frequency, jitter, approximative filter, and images filter parameters. Let\u2019s take a look at each of these controls in more detail:<\/p>\n\n- The frequency parameter<\/strong> controls the frequency that the signal is resampled at, ranging 44 Hz to 44.1 kHz. A higher resolution will more closely resemble the original input – for reference, most music we listen to is sampled at 44.1 kHz, the upper limit of the Resampler.<\/li>\n
- Jitter<\/strong> controls the intensity of sporadic, brief deviations of resampling parameters.<\/li>\n
- The approximative filter<\/strong> removes harmonic content above the Resampler\u2019s Nyquist frequency (the highest frequency that can be accurately sampled without creating unintended artifacts) before the signal is resampled.<\/li>\n
- The images filter<\/strong> removes images, the artifacts created by the Resampler\u2019s activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. The Filter<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
The Filter<\/strong> allows you to sculpt your sound with analogue-modeled pass \/ reject filtering.<\/p>\n\n- Type<\/strong> allows you to select between low pass, band pass, high pass, and band reject filters.<\/li>\n
- The cutoff<\/strong> determines the cutoff frequency for the low pass and high pass filters, and the center of the band for the band pass and band reject filters.<\/li>\n
- Reso \/ band width<\/strong> determines the resonance for the low pass and high pass filters, and the band width for the band pass and band reject filters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Pro Tip:<\/strong> Toggle between Pre and Post to flip whether the filter is applied before or after the resampling.<\/p>\nWe hope you found this tour of Decimort 2\u2019s features useful! If you have a question, leave it in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
