Free Plugin: Klevgrand’s Degrader

Good news for music producers and sound designers – Klevgrand’s Degrader is now free for all registered Focusrite and Novation product owners.

Here’s the twist — you don’t need hardware to get it. Even the free FAST bundle from past promotions will qualify you.

Degrader is a mix of a resampler and a bitcrusher. It can give your tracks subtle vintage grit or completely crush them into glitchy chaos.

You can drop the sample rate anywhere from 250 Hz to 96 kHz. There’s an optional low-pass filter before or after the process, with different filter types for softer or sharper cuts.

The bitcrusher lets you dial resolution from clean 24-bit down to crunchy 3-bit. Add in the saturation stage, and you can push sounds into rich analog-style distortion.

There’s also Jitter, which adds clock instability to make sounds feel a bit unstable — perfect for that broken digital gear vibe.

The Link feature is great for live tweaking or automation. You can control multiple parameters with a single knob, smoothly blending between clean and destroyed.

It’s not just for extreme effects. Degrader can emulate classic samplers like the Akai S950, add subtle sizzle to drums, or create lo-fi textures for vocals and synths.

The interface is clean and easy to use, with visual feedback for bit depth and saturation. You also get master input/output gain, dry/wet mix, and several presets inspired by vintage gear.

Final thoughts: Degrader is a versatile creative tool that can go from subtle retro warmth to full-on digital destruction. If you qualify for the Focusrite freebie, it’s a no-brainer to grab it before the offer ends.
