KAGE DECIMATOR

KG DECIMATOR is a multi-band decimation and saturation processor that goes beyond simple bit crushing to transform sound into a whole new texture by integrating creative distortion and analog emulation. This plug-in splits the entire frequency spectrum into four bands: low-pitched, low-mid, mid-high, and high-pitched, providing innovative flexibility to apply independent decimation and saturation to each band. Users can precisely reduce the digital resolution through the 'DECIMATOR' knob on each band to create digital artifacts ranging from rough textures to subtle characteristics. The 'RATE', 'GAIN', and 'NOISE' buttons can be used to add intensity, level, and a noise floor of bitcrushing to give it an all over vintage and grungy vibe. Specifically, the 'ANALOG' and 'TUBE' switches emulate the non-linear response of classical analog circuits. The warm and rich harmonic distortion peculiar to vacuum tubes, respectively, adds depth and liveliness to the digital decimation effect. KG DECIMATOR is a powerful tool that maximizes creative possibilities across mixing and sound design, including adding punch to drum loops, giving a strong presence to the baseline, or adding a unique, noisy texture to any synthesizer pad.
