The d16 Group has just released the latest addition to its "Silver Line" of products : Decimort, a a bit crusher plug-in.
Electronic music producers have always been aware that classic samplers 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 aims to recreate this colouration in order to add the vintage sampler magic to any loop, bass line or sound played through it.
Features :
- Ultra accurate resampling algorithm (ADC emulation, no harmonics above 22kHz).
- Anti-alias lowpass filter conjugated with resampler.
- Analogue-like filters with adjustable resonance and cutoff.
- Two independent process paths in stereo mode with different parameters per each channel.
- Presets organised into groups.
- MIDI learn function.
- 64-bit internal processing.
- No harmonic distortions at output (unwanted).
Decimort is available now for both PC and Mac in VST and VST/AU formats respectively. It has a retail price of €35.
