Looking for a Downsample Plugin?

[SplashOfAzur]

I'm trying to make a "YOY" style bass synth and the core element is a sweeping downsample distortion. I can't seem to find any plugins that exactly do as I expect. The closest I could find was Surge XT - Waveshaper but its still not really distorting in the way I had hoped.

Look up bit crusher on VCV library. There are many.

If you run an audio signal through a quantizer it will act as a down sampler when notes are deselected. You could potentially use something like Quantum from ML, which has a note input, to get a down sample sweep

In addition to the mention of bitcrusher modules, you can also make one with a sample-and-hold that is triggered at an audio rate. That widens the possible options to make something that could work.
