Lese releases Codec v2.0 - New features & improvements (Free)

Lese has released V2 of their freeware bitcrusher audio plugin Codec.

Codec is our most popular plugin by far, and it's no question why; Our approach to sound degradation using an audio compression standard was never done prior to it.

After almost 3 years of Codec being available, and hundreds of thousands of downloads later, we've updated Codec to Version 2.

New features:

• Packet Disorder: Instead of packets just being fed into the internal decoder in their usual order, you can now increase the "disorder" control to shuffle the packets around, giving a much more disjointed sound.
• Noise: You can now add noise to the signal prior to feeding audio into the encoder, this makes the signal "messier" and can add even more artifacts where usually there would have been none. The noise can also be colored differently, to take up different sections of the frequency spectrum.
• Crunch: Crunch can now be adjusted by hovering over the audio visualizer. You can also change the shape of the filter that is used during the crunch process.
