Bitcrush
A separate lo-fi crusher: independent sample-rate (down to 200 Hz) and bit-depth (down to 1 bit) reduction for anything from a subtle vintage-sampler grit to full digital destruction.
What it does
Bitcrush is an audio effect: it changes the sound that flows through it. It takes audio in and gives audio out.
Try it
Crush a clean synth line down to 8 bits for an instant retro-game feel.
