Degradator
A digital degradation effect that turns clean audio into gritty, broken, worn-out material. Bitcrush and downsampling live on an interactive XY field that reacts to your audio, with jitter, a resonant tone filter, and two degradation characters on top.
Features
- Degradation field — a circular XY controller: X sets Crush, Y sets Downsample, with GPU-rendered visuals
- Crush — bit-depth reduction, from subtle grit to full staircase quantization
- Downsample — sample & hold decimation for classic sample-rate reduction artifacts
- Jitter — randomizes the decimator timing for unstable, worn-out textures
- Two characters — raw gritty decimation, or a Soft mode with anti-alias pre-filtering, DAC-style reconstruction and dither
- Tone — resonant low-pass filter to tame or color the degraded signal
- Equal-power dry/wet mix plus input and output gain
- Resizable, GPU-rendered interface
