Can you give me some more tips on that, I read that “Redux” from ableton can downsample but when I do it just sounds weird, like it’s crushing and is “SampHold” from Serum or “S&H” from Massive the same as downsample because it sounds like it to me ?
Yes, sample and hold is the same thing as downsampling, they just come from different perspectives, particularly from the analogue and digital domains. FM8’s digital distortion is also a downsampler.
Put the downsampler after the modulating filter. The filter can be anything, but lowpasses and formant filters work well. You can set up the formant yourself by either boosting narrow bells in EQ, or resonant high- and low-pass filters.
