Desecrator Effect Diagram
Control Assignments for Desecrator
The Desecrator adds controlled distortion...from fine dust to
rusty metal spikes, by allowing adjustment of bit-depth and
sample rate without dithering or anti-aliasing. Clipping can be a
fine shave, or enough for a wig!
P1 Drive Level
The only function of
P1
(indicator
off
) is Drive Level, adjusting
from 0 dB to +24 dB in 32 uniform steps. To keep audio output
level constant, inverse gain is applied after the bit-depth stage. A
slight level reduction occurs when clipping.
P1
has no second function when using the Desecrator.
J1
has no function when using the Desecrator.
P2 Sample Rate / Bit Depth
Sample Rate is the primary function of
P2
(indicator
off
) adjust
-
ing the sample rate from a clean 44.1 kHz to a dirty 34 Hz over
32 steps with 1/3-octave spacing.
Bit Depth is adjusted with the second function of
P2
(green
indicator
on
) adjusts from a creamy 24 bits to a crunchy 3 bits in
22 steps. Increasing the
P1
Drive Level increases the spreadability
when bits are reduced to a single digit.
J2 Wet / Dry Mix
Pressing J2 toggles between transform operation (indicator
off
)
and Wet / Dry control (green indicator
on
). The default is 100%
wet. Holding the joystick left goes more Dry, to the right goes
more Wet. Moving the joystick up provides instant, momentary
100% Wet. Moving the joystick down provides instant, momen
-
tary 100% Dry. This allows Wet or Dry transforming with the
control returning to the set Wet/Dry ratio when the control is at
rest (in the center).
