40: Bit Rate Converter
By changing the bit count and sample rate, this effect recreates
the Lo-Fi (Low-Fidelity) sounds of the early digital samplers
and similar machines. After the Lo-Fi processor, a filter to
change the tone is arranged in series.

Description
Total noise level.
Scratches on the record.
Dust on the record.
Continuous hissing noise.
These settings add the typical
record's noise. The noises increase
as the values are raised. Set each of
the Scratch, Dust, and Hiss noise
levels to get a balance, the adjust
the overall amount of noise with
the Total Noise Level control.
Total wow and flutter.
Wow, long cycle rotational irregu-
larity.
Flutter, short cycle rotational ir-
regularity.
Random rotational irregularity.
These settings determine the rota-
tional irregularities of the record
player. Set each of the Wow, Flut-
ter, and Random levels to get a
balance, the adjust the overall
depth of the effect with the Total
Wow/Flutter control.
Volume balance between the di-
rect sound (DRY) and the effect
sound (WET)
Description
Adjusts the degree of noise that oc-
curs when tuning a radio.
Sets the noise level.
Sets the frequency response of the
radio.
Lowering the value worsens the
frequency characteristics, making
the sound appear to be coming
from a tiny radio speaker.
Volume balance between the direct
sound (DRY) and the effect sound
(WET)
Description
This is the switch of the filter placed
before the Lo-Fi processing
Sets the fraction of current sampling
rates to be used for processing.

Cutoff frequency of the filter
The closer to zero it is set, the lower
the cutoff frequency becomes; set it
closer to 127, and the cutoff fre-
quency becomes higher.
Resonance level of the filter
Raising the setting increases reso-
nance near the cutoff frequency,
giving the sound a special charac-
teristic.
Compensates for the volume
dropped in the cut frequency range
with some filters.
The level of compensation increases
as the value is increased, and raise
the volume.
