Product Description

• Digital Damage Reducing audio resolution and replicating the digital distortion found in early digital systems can impart a distinctive character to your audio
• add intriguing textures and boost your sonic creativity. <iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https: //www.youtube.com/embed/BHp7C01t0sc" width="560"></iframe> This is where Format shines – restricting digital audio data to produce warm
• grainy layers
• or much harsher digital deconstructions
• depending on how far you want to take it. Every element of Format brings a distinct flavour. Degrade and Resample reduce the bit-depth and sample rate to collide two contrasting directions of digital distortion. Flatten combines these effects with a gate to toy with the resolution of the signal’s volume peaks
• whilst Washed floods the audio to twist the sound wave into a bubbling
• corrupted MP3.  Degrade: Reduces bit depth of incoming audio and causes digital distortion. Resample: Reduces the sample rate of the audio and causes digital distortion. Washed: An ‘underwater’ distortion that sounds like a corrupted low-quality MP3. Flatten: A combination of a gate and bitcrusher that reduces the resolution of the audio during transients.
