What Decimort 2 does
The plugin models the audible character that older sampling hardware produced, which came from the encoding techniques, lower sample rates, bit depths and conversion stages those machines used. Its signal path runs through a resampler built on an ultra accurate algorithm that emulates ADC behaviour and produces no harmonics above 22 kHz. An approximative pre filter and an image post filter, both conjugated with the resampler, shape the signal on the way in and out. Two quantization methods are available, mid-raiser and mid-tread, and quantization can be controlled with dithering.
The developer states that the processing is designed so that unwanted artefacts are absent from the output, leaving only the modelled colouration. Decimort 2 contains zero internal aliasing; any aliasing that remains is emulated aliasing of classic samplers. A further image filter, synchronized with the resampler, gives control over the amount of aliasing. Analogue-like filters with adjustable resonance and cutoff are included, and internal processing runs at 64 bits.
Tag-based preset browser, two alternative GUI sizes and MIDI learn across the controls round out the interface.
Key features
- Resampler with ADC emulation. The resampler applies an ultra accurate algorithm that emulates ADC conversion, and the developer lists no harmonics above 22 kHz from it.
- Pre and image post filters. An approximative pre filter and an image post filter sit on either side of the resampler and are conjugated with it to shape the signal.
- Aliasing control. A post filter synchronized with the resampler lets the amount of aliasing be set, with emulated aliasing as the only aliasing present.
- Preset browser and GUI sizes. Presets are located through a tag-based browser, and the interface can be shown in one of two alternative GUI sizes.
Use cases
- Vintage sampler colour on loops. The developer names loops and basslines as material to run through the effect for a sampler-style colouration.
Compatibility
Decimort 2 is available as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone for Windows and macOS (64-bit). macOS 10.13 or higher and Windows 7 are the minimum systems, 8 GB of RAM is listed, and native Apple Silicon support is noted. A trial is available.
Who it is for
Electronic music producers and sound designers who want the colouration of older sampling hardware on loops, basslines or other sources, with control over resampling, quantization and aliasing.
