Decimort 2 is far more than just a bit-crusher. It meticulously recreates the coloration and warmth found in vintage samplers, adding that distinct “grit” and “fatness” to any sound passed through it. Whether you’re processing a loop, bassline, or other instrument, Decimort 2 delivers vintage character while offering modern sound design flexibility.
With its advanced features like two distinct quantization methods, controllable dithering, and a multimode filter, Decimort 2 goes beyond simple bit reduction. It includes both pre and post filters, adjustable jitter for unique harmonic distortion, and options to emulate the exact sampling path of classic AD/DA converters. This makes Decimort 2 a powerful and versatile tool for shaping sound with precision and character.
Key Features:
- Two Quantization Methods: Choose between mid-raiser and mid-tread decimation algorithms, each offering distinct dynamics response.
- Approximation Filter: A steep low-pass pre-filter ensures no aliasing below the resampling frequency by removing harmonic content above it.
- Adjustable Jitter: Introduces short-period random fluctuations to the resampling frequency, creating unique harmonic distortions for enhanced sonic character.
- Post-Resampling Image Filter: Synchronizes with the resampler, allowing control over aliasing images above the resampling frequency.
- Analog-Style Filters: Includes adjustable resonance filters to smooth or sculpt the sound, removing unwanted artefacts or enhancing the sonic quality.
- Controllable Dithering: Reduces audible quantization errors by masking harmonic distortions, offering more ways to manipulate the sound.
- Zero Internal Aliasing: All internal processing avoids aliasing; only the desired emulated artefacts from vintage samplers remain.
- HiDPI Support: Includes several UI sizes and HiDPI compatibility for optimal visual clarity on modern displays.
- MIDI Learn: Easily assign controls to external MIDI hardware for intuitive performance and control.
