sbx CubicDegrade
CubicDegrade is actually a downsampling device but with a twist.
It performs regular downsampling when you decrease the "Degrade" value.
Then a 4-point (cubic) interpolation on the last four samples recreates a continuos signal curve.
This "flattens" the steps/ jumps that occur when a signal is downsampled.
Practically it´s a hi-cut filter with a strong harmonic distortion.
Unlike usual hi-cut filters the parts of the signal above the cutoff-frequency are not diminished in amplitude. Instead they are "reflected" at the cutoff-freqency and fold back onto the remaining spectrum. This is because downsampling is performed here. So this is substantially a brickwall filter.
Because of the foldover it also creates remarkeble sub(non)harmonic content the more you downsample. So with low values of "Degrade" it´s a quite powerful subbass generator also.

before we were skinnerbox
before we became skinnerbox- the quatro-successful teen idols we are, or in other words - before everything went wrong, we have been making improvised electro-acoustic music using everything from prepared pianos to chainsaws + reverb tail of at least 7 min(sorry for that) .
as our successful musical marriage is turning 8 years old this november we decided to put some of the old stuff online for free download
the link contains a zip file with two folders. the first is excerpts from 2002/3 and the second is a complete one hour piece for electric guitar , mobile phone and a minimoog named "constellation#1" (2003).
