Electronic music producers (especially in Hip-Hop)
have always been aware that classic samplers (such as
early Akai and EMU units) had a character and sound
of their own. They added a "grit" and "colour" to the
samples and loops they played back which made them
sound "Fat" and sit well in a mix.
This sound colouration was due to the encoding
techniques, lower sample rates, lower bit rate and
conversion circuits which these early samplers used.
Decimort recreates this colouration and adds the
vintage sampler magic to any loop, bass line or sound
played through it. It also acts as the perfect bit
crusher with filter.
Low quality sometimes is desired
The Decimort effect unit is from the SilverLine
family of plugins. It is a premium grade bit crusher.
The complex and advanced signal processing algorithms
within Decimort simulate the behaviour of the whole
sampling path which exists in every AD/DA converter.
Decimort has no internal aliasing. The only aliasing
effect present in the system is the modelled aliasing
of the classic samplers we modelled when creating it.
Undesired artefacts are not present in the processed
signal. Only wanted artefacts remain. A further very
steep low-pass filter, synchronised to the signal
frequency, can be applied at the end of the signal
path to absolutely ensure that no unwanted out-of
-band signals remain.
Two in one
Decimort is also equipped with analogue like filters
with adjustable resonance that allow further
sculpting of the signal. These can be used to smooth
the sound or remove more of the sonic artefacts
introduced into the signal path by the modelling
process.
Totally independent
Decimort can process the right and left channels of a
stereo signal completely independently. This allows
all path parameters to be set differently for each
channel. This can be used, for example, to create the
impression of a wider stereo stage.
Alternatively, both channels can be linked to set
path parameters to the same value for both right and
left channels.
