Crusher
The CronoX 3’s Crusher is a distortion effect that combines bit-depth and
sample-rate reduction with “smoothing” algorithms allowing the resolution of
the signal to be decreased, thereby making the sound rougher and noisier.
This effect processor also includes a filter. This effect has the following
controls: Bits, Cutoff, Filter Type, Resonance, Divider, Divider Type, Fil Post
Div and Smoother.
The Bits (BitCrusher) control enables you to reduce the bit depth of the
output signal from oo bits (the signal is not changed) to 1.00 bits. Reducing
the bit depth adds a harsh, noisy quality to the sound.
The Cutoff slider is used to set the frequency (in Hz) above which
frequencies are filtered out of the signal. Higher settings produce brighter
sounds while lower settings result in darker sounds. Range 40 Hz...20 kHz.
The Filter Type popup menu allows you to select one of four 12 dB filter
types: LP12 (Low Pass 12 dB), HP12 (High Pass 12 dB), BP12 (Band Pass
12 dB) and BR12 (Band Reject 12 dB).
The Resonance slider is used to set the amount of emphasis around the
cutoff frequency. Higher settings create a more pronounced peak in the
signal while lower settings produce a flatter response. Range: 0%...100%.
The Divider slider controls a sample-rate divider that divides the current
sample-rate by the current slider setting. For example, if the current
sample-rate is 44.1 kHz, then setting the Divider slider to 2, halves the
sample-rate to 22.05 kHz. Ranges from 1 to 32.
