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.
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.
