Kilohearts Bitcrush

Kilohearts 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.

SIMULATE LO-FI SOUND SOURCES

When nostalgia hits, Bitcrush can bring you back to the digital hardware of times past. It simulates the audio being played back using a low-quality sampler with limited sample rate and bit depth. Mm, crunchy.

KILOHEARTS ECOSYSTEM

This virtual effects plug-in is part of the Kilohearts Essentials plug-ins and one of a growing collection of that form the Kilohearts Ecosystem. They can be used as regular plugins (VST/AAX/AU) but also as Snapins when combined with other plug-ins from the Kilohearts Ecosystem. These lightweight and high-quality plug-ins have intuitive no-nonsense interfaces so you will be using them like a master in no time.

FEATURES:

• 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
• Dither knob: Adds noise to the signal in order to reduce distortion caused by quantization
• 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
• Mix knob: The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through
