The TAL DAC bit crusher plug-in is based on the TAL Sampler sound engine. It emulates a sample recorded on a low sample rate with reduced bit depth and up-samples it to the desired host sample rate. Choose different algorithms for the up-sampling process to emulate the characteristics of different samplers. A low- and high-shelf EQ together with an AMP Drive in the reconstruction section allow it to approximate the sound character of different sampler AMP's. You can also emulate hot recorded signals using the input volume knob. The TAL DAC plug-in can be used on a wide range of audio material, but is particularly suited to drum sounds.

  • Recording stage with input volume control and soft clipper (adds odd harmonics)
  • Variable recording sample rate (1000Hz-44100Hz)
  • Variable recording bit-depth (4bit-16bit) with different algorithms (mu-law, mu-law delta, linear)
  • Reconstruction section with different reconstruction methods (hold, variable, linear, S1000/sinc)
  • AMP drive (adds even and odd harmonics to the signal)
  • A high- and low-shelf filter (12dB)
  • All non-linear components are 8x oversampled to avoid aliasing
