| Device Type: | Audio Effect |
| Description: | In these devices, Sampling error (serror) 🎚️ and Quantization error (qerror) 🔢 are used to produce or process sounds. 🎶 serror and serrorFX Sampling a sound at a low sample rate ⏬ creates aliases (replicas of the original sound’s spectrum) at intervals defined by the sample rate, leading to distortion ⚡. In classic redux/resampling effects, the pitch 🎵 of the timbre often changes inconsistently with the original. 👉 Serror devices calculate the input pitch and tune the resampling effect to create harmonic aliases ✨ and reduce non-harmonic distortions ❌. 🎹 serror instrument Starting sound = a sine wave 🌊 → resampled to a sample rate multiple of the input pitch 🎶 → adds harmonics ✨ → richer sound. Parameters: 📈 ADSR graph – sets the dynamic envelope 🎚️ detune – deviation from perfect pitch multiple 📊 detune % – depth of ADSR on detune ➗ ratio – multiplication factor of the new sample rate 🎚️ LPF frequency – low-pass filter cutoff 📊 LPF % – depth of ADSR on LPF cutoff 🎧 wide – stereo width 🌀 glide – time between following notes 🎛️ serrorFX effect Like the instrument, but applied to any input sound 🎤. Pitch can be: 🎵 auto (pitch tracking) 🎲 random (different on each onset) 📌 fixed Parameters: 🎚️ detune / detune % ➗ ratio + ratio mode (count, random, fixed) 🎚️ LPF frequency / LPF % 🌀 glide 🎼 mode (auto, random, fixed) Onset notes 🎹 trigger impacts on filter + detune (if % > 0). 🌊 smooth – softens attack 🕰️ decay – extends tail 🔢 qerror Quantization error = difference between original analog signal 🎤 and digital representation 💻 after quantization. This creates noise/distortion ⚡, especially in low-bit-depth systems. 👉 qerror devices link pitch ↔ quantization error to shape timbres: 🎶 Low notes = coarse, buzzy error 🎵 High notes = finer, hiss-like error 🎹 Attacks/decays = bursts then thinning 🎹 qerror instrument Sine wave 🌊 → copy reduced in bit depth 🪓 → subtracted from original ➖ → leaves only the quantization error ⚡ = synthesis output. Parameters: 🔢 steps – number of divisions 📊 steps % – ADSR depth on steps 🔄 mode – 1 (round), 2 (round + normalize), 3 (truncate) ⏬ resampling + resampling % 🎚️ LPF frequency / % 🎧 wide 🌀 glide 🎛️ qerrorFX Same principle, but applied to input sounds 🎤. Parameters: 🔢 steps + steps % 🔄 mode (1,2,3) ⏬ resampling + % 🎚️ LPF frequency / % Onset notes 🎶 trigger steps, resampling, and filter. 🌊 smooth → softer attack 🕰️ decay → longer tail |
