Chapter 66: Recti-Fi
Recti-Fi is part of the D-Fi suite of plug-ins and
provides additive harmonic processing effects
through waveform rectification. Recti-Fi is
available in TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite for-
mats. Recti-Fi features the following effects:
• Subharmonic synthesizer
• Full wave rectifier
• Pre-filter for adjusting effect frequency
• Post-filter for smoothing generated wave-
forms
Recti-Fi provides additive synthesis effects
through waveform rectification. Recti-Fi multi-
plies the harmonic content of an audio track and
adds subharmonic or superharmonic tones,
Purposely Degrading Audio
Contemporary music styles, especially hip-hop,
make extensive use of retro instruments and
processors such as vintage drum machines, sam-
plers, and analog synthesizers. The low bit-rate
resolutions and analog “grunge” of these devices
are an essential and much-desired part of their
sonic signatures. That is why Avid created D-Fi.
The D-Fi suite of plug-ins combines the best of
these instruments of the past with the flexibility
and reliability of the Pro Tools audio produc-
tion system. The result is a set of sound design
tools that let you create these retro sounds with-
out the trouble and expense of resampling audio
through 8-bit samplers or processing it through
analog synthesizers.
