Module: Silver
Note that this shifts the sideband frequencies
contingent upon the LFO oscillation. Your best bet is
to simply try it out!!!
Decimator
Decimator does what its name would indicate - it
decimates the sampling rate. The higher the
sampling rate at which a sound was digitized, the
richer it is in signal quality but the „poorer“ in
character. Also called down sampling, this sampling
rate reduction degrades the signal to create a
grainier, rawer sound.
The sample & hold section of this effect samples a
value from the signal and routes it to the output for
the amount of time defined by the S&H factor
parameter, after which a new sample is taken.
A low-pass filter guards the effect’s input. It
prevents undesirable distortion generated by the
S&H circuit’s sampling activities. Called aliasing,
this distortion is attributable to input signals
containing frequencies equal to or greater than half
the sampling rate. You can also influence the
aforementioned rawness of the signal by changing
the cutoff frequency of this input low-pass filter in
relation to the sampling rate.
Sp_warp
Sp_warp is an extremely sophisticated stereo
modulation effect. It is perfect for generating or
refining atmospheric sounds. If you lay this effect
over strings or pads, a dense ambient cloud that
lends the sound a distinctive “spacey" sci-fi vibe
surrounds them. If you use very direct sound
material like voices or drum / percussion sounds, SP
warp generates interesting but very strange
counterpoint melodies. A percussive sound enriched
with SP warp makes for a great effect sound for
soundtracks or experimental music.
