You can use the BitMachine to bring back to life the times when
minimalist and scratchy soundchips in home computers were
commonplace.
The BitMachine opens up a gateway to "acoustic time travel" where
you can encounter bit and sample rate reduction and downstream
filters based on analog models.
Furthermore, the effect has a modulation section with which you can
control individual parameters using an oscillator (LFO) or the input
signal.
We have designed a range of "typical" presets to demonstrate the
time travel abilities of the BitMachine. These can be opened at the
top right of the interface
The following section describes the details of BitMachine:
"Filter" section
The filter in the BitMachine is a digital model of one of the most well-
known filters in music electronics, i.e. the "Chamberlin 2-pole" filter
used in old Oberheim synthesizers. These types of filters sound
exceptionally musical. They can also be used quite creatively in the
BitMachine, but should not be used exclusively to smooth out
existing artifacts.
The filter works in the so-called "high-pass" mode, i.e. it lets through
deep frequency (or medium) material according to setting, and
dampens highs and medium areas.
Freq:
You can specify the cut-off frequency of the filter using "Freq".
Filtering starts above this frequency.
Reso:
The signal in the area around the cut-off frequency can be strongly
elevated to just below self-oscillation. Sharp, cutting sounds are
possible at this level, and the effect becomes even clearer when you
vary the cut-off frequency.
