What D16 Group Decimort 2 is

D16 Group Decimort 2 is an audio plugin for recreating the coloration of classic samplers and shaping sounds such as loops and basslines. It can also be used as a bit crusher with a filter. Resampling controls include adjustable jitter, which adds short random changes to the resampling frequency, and an image filter synchronized with the resampler. An approximative anti-alias filter and controllable dithering are also included. For quantization, Decimort 2 offers mid-raiser and mid-tread algorithms with different dynamic responses. Analog-like filters with adjustable resonance provide further ways to shape the signal, and MIDI Learn supports assigning controls to a MIDI controller. The plugin runs in compatible host applications on Windows and macOS; it is not a standalone program. Supported formats are VST2, VST3, and AAX on Windows, and VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX on Mac. The Windows version supports Windows 7 or newer. On Mac, supported systems range from Mac OS X 10.13 through macOS 26, with Intel or Apple Silicon CPUs. Decimort 2 is a single product with a perpetual license, priced from €59. There is no free plan, though D16 offers a demo download. D16 Group was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Katowice, Poland.
