Degrade : Sampling rate and bit depth degradation with optional mirror clipping — Cecilia 5.4.1 documentation

# Degrade : Sampling rate and bit depth degradation with optional mirror clipping

## Description

This module allows the user to degrade a sound with artificial resampling and quantization. This process emulates the artifacts caused by a poor sampling frequency or bit depth resolution. It optionally offers a simple mirror distortion, if the degradation is not enough!

## Sliders

> Bit Depth :

>   Resolution of the amplitude in bits

> Sampling Rate Ratio :

>   Ratio of the new sampling rate compared to the original one

> Mirror Threshold :

>   Clipping limits between -1 and 1 (signal is reflected around the thresholds)

> Filter Freq :

>   Center frequency of the filter

> Filter Q :

>   Q factor of the filter

> Dry / Wet :

>   Mix between the original signal and the degraded signal

## Graph Only

> Overall Amplitude :

>   The amplitude curve applied on the total duration of the performance

## Popups & Toggles

> Filter Type :

>   Type of filter

> Balance :

>   Compression mode. Off, balanced with a fixed signal or balanced with the input source.

> Polyphony Voices :

>   Number of voices played simultaneously (polyphony), only available at initialization time

> Polyphony Chords :

>   Pitch interval between voices (chords), only available at initialization time
