Bit Reducers
Options: Decimator and Resampler.
Decimator
Decimator down-samples the
incoming signal by removing bits
from the digital signal. The
difference between decimation
and resampling is that Decimator
does not use any filtering to mask
or correct digital artifacts. The
result is an effect ranging from
mild to almost completely pure
digital distortion, depending on the
setting and the source material.
Resampler
Resampler is similar to Decimator
in that it removes bits from an
incoming signal. The difference is
that Resampler applies a complex
suite of filters and anti-aliasing to
attempt to retain the original
sound quality. This is a method
used by popular vintage samplers
and sampling drum machines from
the 1980s. Resampler can be used
to achieve a “dirty” sound on drum
loops, without the harshness of
distortion.
