Distortion
Time clipper
Time Clipper „hacks“ the audio signal and produces an analog rhythmic distortion. This distortion is
however not static, but dynamic - in dependence to the „Depth“ and „Speed“ parameters.
Treshold: Sets the value for Time Clipper to start after the input signal exceeds the treshold
level.
Gain: Determines the level of the modulation in dB.
Depth: Determines the level of the modulation in %.
Speed: Determines the speed of the modulation in hertz.
Volume: The output volume of the audio signal.
Sync: Enables the synchronization of the „Speed“ parameter (changes into a select pull-
down menu) to the tempo of your sequencer software (host).
Bit reduction
Bit reduction reduces the resolution of the audio signal. Thus you can reduce the sound quality (the
audio-cd quality is 16 bit, for example) and you can simulate the sounds of older equipment.
Bit Reduct: Here you can assign the new resolution to your audio signal.
24 bit correspond to the current standard of recording studios, 16 bit to an audio-cd, 8
bit to older samplers and drum machines, 4 bit to very cheap sound generators (toys,
for example).
