Bitcrush can be used to create distorting effects that sound like that of scraping analog radio, or inherently lo-fi sound sources, like old video games:

  • Rate display - Down sample the signal to a minimum of 200 Hz.
  • Bits knob - Quantize the amplitude of each sample of the signal. A lower value will result in a more distorted sound.
  • ADC Q knob - Quality of the analog-to-digital conversion. A lower value will add dissonant aliasing in the low frequencies.
  • DAC Q knob - Quality of the digital-to-analog conversion. A lower value will add dissonant aliasing in the high frequencies.
  • Dither knob - Adds noise to the signal in order to reduce distortion caused by quantization.
  • Mix knob - The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.
  • Settings panel - Whenever you have your mouse cursor over a snapin theree is a small arrow at the top right corner (not visible in screenshot). It opens a settings panel where you handle presets.
  • Enabled checkbox - The small checkbox to the left of the plugin name is a checkbox that bypasses the effect when disabled.
  • Resize handle - The bottom right corner of all Kilohearts plugins is a resize handle for scaling the UI to any size. This allows you to get a good view of the controls whatever the screen resolution, and also comes in handy if you need big controls, e.g. when using Bitcrush as a real-time effect on a touchscreen monitor during a live set. (This is not available when the snapin is used inside a snapin host.).

Bitcrush shines on it's own, but it was primarily created to power up the different "Snapin Hosts" Kilohearts offer. These are bigger effects units that utilize all the available snapins and give you a really fun and creative workflow for combining them in any way you can think of. So have a look at Snap Heap and Multipass right now.

Bitcrush is also available as a Rack Extension for Reason over at the Propellerhead shop.
