KorgDCM8 is a sample rate and bit depth reducer preset from Sinevibes, part of the KorgFX Collection. It adds digital distortion, including frequency aliasing and quantization noise, for a vintage sampler character.
KorgDCM8 is a digital degradation effect from Sinevibes that reduces both the sample rate and bit depth of an incoming signal. The result is the kind of grainy, lo-fi distortion associated with early sampling machines. The algorithm also includes an input noise gate, which is intended to stop static analogue noise from being amplified. The effect is built for Korg hardware synthesizers and is one of the sound sets in the Sinevibes KorgFX Collection.
KorgDCM8 changes the digital resolution of the input signal in two ways. Reducing the sample rate produces frequency aliasing, and reducing the bit depth produces quantization noise. Together these artifacts give the typical sound of vintage sampling machines.
The included input noise gate is there to keep static analogue noise from being boosted by the degradation process, so the effect stays usable on quieter material.
Sinevibes says the DSP algorithms are calibrated specifically for Korg's hardware platform. Each parameter has an individually chosen mapping, which the developer describes as giving a very natural feel when turning the controls.
Built-in lag filters smooth parameter changes, so adjustments stay free of zipper noise while you move the controls.
