Bitcrusher
If you’re into lo-fi sound, Bitcrusher is the effect for you. It offers the
possibility of decimating and truncating the input audio signal by bit
reduction, to get a noisy, distorted sound. You can for example make
a 24 bit audio signal sound like an 8 or 4 bit signal, or even render it
completely garbled and unrecognizable. Bitcrusher can be used as an
insert effect or a send effect. You can of course also use it as a master
effect, should you so wish.
Parameter Description
Mode Select one of four operating modes for the Bitcrusher. Each mode will
produce a different sounding result. Modes I and III are nastier and nois-
ier, while modes II and IV are more subtle.
Depth Use this to set the desired bit resolution. A setting of 24 gives the high-
est audio quality, while a setting of 1 will create mostly noise.
Sample
Divider
This sets the amount by which the audio samples are decimated. At the
highest setting (65), nearly all of the information describing the original
audio signal will be eliminated, turning the signal into unrecognizable
noise.
Mix This slider regulates the balance between the output from the Bitcrusher
and the original audio signal. Drag the slider upwards for a more domi-
nant effect, and drag it downwards if you want the original signal to be
more prominent.
Gain Governs the output level from the Bitcrusher. Drag the slider upwards to
increase the level.
