While this tagline may seem like an oxymoron on the surface, allow us to explain: the Decimort effect unit (available as part of the SilverLine collection of plugins from D16) is a premium grade bit crusher and sample rate reducer with some highly unconventional features.
The highest quality low-quality effect you can buy Decimort recreates this coloration and adds that vintage sampler magic back to any loop, any bassline, or any sound played through it for that matter! Beyond vintage sampler emulation, it’s also the perfect bit-crusher with filter, capable of extreme settings for dramatic results. This sound coloration was due to the encoding techniques, lower sample rate, and bit depth, and conversion circuits used by these early samplers. Decimort recreates the colouration and adds the vintage sampler’s magic to any soundĮlectronic music (especially Hip-Hop) producers have long been aware that classic samplers (such as early Akai and E-MU units) had a character and sound all their own: they added a “grit” and “color” to the samples and loops they played back which made them sound “Fat” and sit well in a mix.
