UnitedPlugins has announced the release of Bitpunk, an audio plugin that UP says "revolutionizes digital degradation".
Bitpunk empowers users to manipulate sound through various bit-altering techniques, including swapping, crushing, inverting, and morphing, with its extensive range of bit-mangling effects and master compression, distortion, and hard clipping features.
The plugin's main focus is on bit-swapping between channels A and B. By utilizing various A and B effects, users can create differences between the channels, resulting in captivating sonic transformations.
As a source for bit-swapping, Bitpunk can use its own input, its inverted version, silence or even side-chain signal from any track (The users are also provided with a sample pack by WA Production specially tailored for Bitpunk to create the coolest bit-swapping effects).
Use the Morph knob to smoothly crossfade between bits, or create your own custom bit patterns with Grid mode, allowing you to toggle each bit independently.
Bitpunk offers a range of effects, such as rate reduction, square-wave frequency shifting, feedback and glitched stuttering and freezing.
Bitpunk enhances sound by adding crunch, smoothing it out with filters, beefing up the low end with feedback, and applying compression and saturation for extra enhancement. Alternatively, users can unleash the full potential of Bitpunk by smashing the life out of the bits, deforming them with frequency shifting and glitch effects, and overdriving everything through aggressive compression and hard clipping. Bitpunk seamlessly transitions from subtle sonic magic to all-out degradation, deformation, and destruction.
