Sampling at lower samplerates/bitrates?

MozartVonRobot

I haven't found anything about this, so I'm guessing the answer is either "no" or "obviously", but I might as well ask...
I've got a 7-segment display Deluge running community firmware, for the record, and I don't use it frequently enough to know all the ins and outs of it (I tend to find it inspiring until I run into one frustrating or confusing thing and then don't touch it for months). I basically have to re-learn it every time I play with it, so I'm sorry if this should be self-explanatory.

On to the question: Is there any way to set a lower resolution to sample at (like, for example, 26 kHz and 12-bit)? I mean, other than speeding up the sample source and then slowing down the sample, or applying decimator and bitcrusher effects afterward? Something about really high quality sampling just feels...sterile to me, a lot of the time. Almost like an uncanny valley thing, like the sampler doesn't even exist, like trying to paint in the air. If it immediately "ruins" the samples a little bit, not a lot but enough to notice, I get more of a feeling that it's...there. I know that's illogical, it's an artificial limitation to create a kind of false authenticity through an imitation of obsolescence, but it's an emotional thing and I'm trying to not be so logical all the time, because that's not always where the inspiration is. So if there's some way to turn on a lo-fi sampling mode, I'd love to know how to do that. It would also save on SD cards.

I'd also love to know if I can put a compressor on the line input, but maybe that's another thread.
