Description

Sounds born from sampling error

VIDEO DEMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHmH1e6JpL0

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
