Degrader

Resampler & Bitcrusher

Destroy any mix in bits and pieces

Degrader is a combined resampler and bit crusher 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.

Anatomy

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.

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

System Requirements

• macOS 10.10 or later (optimized for the M1-processor)
• Windows 7 SP1 or later
• AU, VST-2, VST-3, AAX
