Introduction

Morfiki's Redu(p)cer is a versaile bit-reducer and decimator type plug-in with unique

morphing abilities. Combining it with additional filters and stereo spread functionality

we achieved effect processor ,that is fun and exciting to play with.

Features include :

– stereo processing ( lowpass , hipass & decimator have spread parameters )

– quantizer

– decimator

– all parameters are controlled by MORFIKI preset system (the system itself is

described below)

– easy parameter value reset-functionality (for spread controls) – by double

clicking on parameter's name.

– moderate cpu usage

Installation

To install redu(p)cer ,simply copy „Redupcer.dll” file into your vst plugins folder.

Words of caution

WARNING! Redu(p)cer plugin can generate extremely high levels at its output (for

example ,it can be caused by setting a high attenuation/resonance of filters) – it is

recomended to set a limiter/soft clipper plugin in a fx plugin rack of your DAW right

after the Redu(p)cer.

Signal flow

Signal is routed as follows:

hipass filter => quantizer => lowpass filter => decimator => gain control ( volume )

Where the hipass section is the first signal block ,and the gain control last one. All

signal blocks work in stereo (L & R channels are processed separatedly).

Basic usage

Redu(p)cer looks quite complex at first glance ,but basic usage reveals all the secrets.

We can divide our plug-in into 6 sections – those are as follows:

a) Hipass filter section – First in the chain of processed signal ,12db/oct filter with

considerable attenuation at higher resonance values. Hp spread parameter shifts the

cutoff frequencies for the left and right channel (ie. a spread value represents decrease

in one channel and increase in the other at the same time).

b) Quantizer – Quantizes dBFS value of the input signal (processed already by a hipass

filter). The Quant parameter represents the number of quant levels in the dynamic

range. Notice: Qunantizer works different at different signal levels (for example, at low

signals tweaking the quant parameter above particular values will result in no signal at

the output).

c) Lowpass filter section – This module is similar to the one described in section a)

,with the exception that its a lowpass type filter. The lp spread parameter works the in

the same way.

d) Samplerater – A decimator unit ( samples & holds the signal with the frequency

lower than the sample rate ,specified by the freq redu parameter ). Fr spread works in

the same way as in previous sections.

e) Volume – controls the output volume.

f) Morfiki preset system controls – see the Morfiki preset system section for details.

What's a MORFIKI preset system?

MOFRIKI is the system of parameter control. It's the basic idea behind plugin series,

we are going to release. Our goal, is to let You manipulate Your sound easly, without

lines of weird automation.

Every preset has five MORFIKI sub-presets. Use MORPH knob to slide between them.

Use SHOW buttons to switch between sub-presets A-E. If MORPH LINK button is active

- MORPH knob will follow. Use COPY buttons to copy knobs state from selected sub-

preset.

It's so simple !
