Signal Path
Crusher
The RMV’s Crusher is a distortion effect that combines bit-depth and sample-rate 
reduction with “smoothing” algorithms allowing the resolution of the signal to be 
decreased, thereby making the sound rougher and noisier. This effect processor also 
includes a filter.
This effect has the following controls:
Wet:
The Wet control is used to set the balance between the processed 
"wet" signal (that is, the “crushed” signal) and the original 
unprocessed "dry" signal.
Bits:
The Bits control enables you to reduce the bit depth of the output 
signal from oo bits (the signal is not changed) to 1.00 bits. Reducing 
the bit depth adds a harsh, noisy quality to the sound. 
Cut:
The Cut (Cutoff) control is used to set the frequency (in Hz) above 
which frequencies are filtered out of the signal. Higher settings 
produce brighter sounds while lower settings result in darker sounds.
Reso:
The Reso (Resonance) control is used to set the amount of 
emphasis around the cutoff frequency. Higher settings create a more 
pronounced peak in the signal while lower settings produce a flatter 
response.
Div:
The Divider control is used to set the value of a sample-rate divider 
that divides the current sample-rate by the current control setting. For 
example, if the current sample-rate is 44.1 kHz, then setting the 
Divider control to 2, halves the sample-rate, making it equal to 22.05 
kHz. When the Divider control is set to a value other than 1, a new 
output sample value must be created for each group of samples in 
the input audio stream. For example, if the Divider slider is set to a 
value of 4, then four (possibly different) samples in the input stream 
are replaced by four samples with a single value in the output audio 
stream.
