resolution. In such cases the Auto-Vol is mandatory, so bette have it always
switched on when working with low bitrates.
The Divider dial controls a sample-rate divider that divides the current
sample-rate by the current dial setting. For example, if the current sample-
rate is 44.1 kHz, then setting the Divider dial to 2, halves the sample-rate to
22.05 kHz. Ranges from 1 to 32.
When this Divider dial 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 dial 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.
The Divider Mode menu determines how the output sample value is
created from the input samples. Three options are available:
AVG = Average Here it calculates the average of the input samples and
uses this as the output sample value for each of the input samples.
STP = Step This option takes the first sample in each group of input
samples and uses this as the output sample value for each of the input
samples. This is the most harsh and rough sound.
SLD = Slide This option takes the first sample in each group of input
samples, interpolates between them and uses the interpolated value as the
output sample value for each of the input samples.
The Fil Post Div (Filter Post Divider) button is used to set the position of the
Crusher’s Filter with respect to the Divider. By default, the Filter is before
the Divider in the signal path. Switching this button on moves the Filter to
after the Divider in the signal path.
