When the Divider slider (described above) is set to a value other than 1, a
new output sample value must be created for each group of samples in the
input audio stream. For example, if the Divider slider is set to a value of 4,
then four (possibly different) samples in the input stream are replaced by
four samples with a single value in the output audio stream. The Divider
Type popup menu determines how the output sample value is created from
the input samples. Three options are available: “AVG”, “STP” and “SLD”.
The “AVG” (“Average”) option calculates the average of the input samples
and uses this as the output sample value for each of the input samples. The
“STP” (“Step”) option takes the first sample in each group of input samples
and uses this as the output sample value for each of the input samples. The
“SLD” (“Slide”) option takes the first sample in each group of input samples,
interpolates between them and uses the interpolated value as the output
sample value for each of the input samples.
The Fil Post Div (“Filter Post Divider”) button is used to set the position of
the Crusher’s Filter with respect to the Divider. By default, the Filter is
before the Divider in the signal path. Switching this button on moves the
Filter to after the Divider in the signal path.
The Smoother button allows a compressor/expander to be switched into the
signal path. This reduces the overall effect of the Crusher making the sound
less harsh and more “musical”.
