Bit Crusher VST Plugins

Destroy any mix in bits and pieces

Degrader is a combined resampler and bit crusher plugin. It can be used to simulate the sound of vintage digital gear, as a lofi-effect or distortion unit.

Since all parameters are fully automatable it’s a handy plugin for creating unique and interesting drops, sweeps and other transitions.

• 1. Filter bubble – Choose low pass filter character before and after resampling (off, low-q, high-q). Frequency is fixed to half the sample rate value.
• 2. Resampler – Control the amount of jitter, plus any sample rate between 250 Hz and 96kHz.
• 3. Crush them bits – Go as low as 3 bits of low resolution, and if that isn’t enough – saturate until unrecognizable.
• 4. Master them bits – Use Input/Output to trim the gain levels, set the blend with the unprocessed signal, and A/B-test the effect with the Power button.

Features

• Resamples between 250 Hz and 96 kHz
• Low pass filter with different characteristics both pre and post resampling
• Bit depth can continuously be altered between 3 and 24 bits
• Additional distortion algorithm
• Parameter linking (control several parameters with one knob)
• Input and output gain control
• Dry / Wet mix
• Several factory presets simulating different vintage gear

We don’t give a damn about a slogan

Experience the raw energy of digital degradation with Bitpunk, the ultimate audio plugin for bit manipulation. Unleash its immense power to transform your sound through a wide range of bit-altering techniques, including swapping, crushing, inverting, and morphing. With an array of cutting-edge bit-mangling effects, as well as master compression, saturation, and hard clipping, Bitpunk stands as the pinnacle of bit plugins, pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration like never before.

Powerful Bit Manipulation: Bitpunk is an extremely powerful and versatile digital degradation effect. It can manipulate bits in various ways, such as bit swapping, classic bit crushing, bit inverting, and bit morphing. With a host of bit-mangling FX and master compression, saturation and hard clipper, it is probably the most advanced bit plugin to date.

Enhance Or Destroy: Bitpunk can subtly enrich your sound in various ways. Add top-end crunch with some bit-crushing and rate reduction, smooth it out with the filters, beef up the low end with feedback, and then compress and saturate for ultimate enhancement. Or go hard by smashing the life out of the bits, deforming them with frequency shifting and glitch FX, then overdrive everything through aggressive compression and hard clipping. Bitpunk can go from subtle sonic magic to all-out degradation, deformation and destruction.

Create A Difference: The main focus of the plugin is to swap bits from two channels, A and B. For the bit-swapping to have an effect, the two channels must be different in some way. We provide many ways to achieve this with A and B FX, which sound great in their own right and downright dirty when bit-swapped. They include a rate reducer, square-wave frequency shifter, syncable delay, high-pass & low-pass filters and more.

A New Crush: When in Mute mode, Bitpunk allows you to swap bits from the input with silenced bits for the classic bit-crushing effect. Standard bit crushers, silence the bits starting from highest to lowest, however here you can mute them in any order you wish for a modern twist on a classic effect.

Swap With Anything: Bitpunk has a sidechain input that lets you route any audio into the B channel. You can then swap bits between the two signals allowing you to smoothly morph between two sound sources in very unique ways. Additionally, you could use the sidechain to duplicate the input signal and use external FX to create the differences between the two channels.

Master FX: After you have finished deforming and degrading your audio with the bit FX, you can treat the sound to some enhancements to finalize the sound. There is an aggressive compressor, soft clipping diode saturation, high-pass & low-pass filters and a hard clipper. Use them to tame harshness, fatten the sound, or overdrive it into oblivion, then blend the overall effect with the master Dry/Wet mix.

Hassle-free software protection: No iLok, no dongle nor internet access is required for activation. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.

Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI: The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size – make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate: The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

Smart bypass: The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don’t get any clicks or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

Intelligent sleep on silence: This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all to save the computing sources for other processes.

Free-for-life updates: Our plugins never get obsolete. We keep track of the current operating systems and DAWs. And you may always update to the most recent version for free. Without paying a cent, a penny, or whatever currency you prefer.

Breathing Bit Crushing

Litbit is a simple little bit crusher with a fluid and organic-ly digital sound. It breathes and flows around your audio as it crunches and munches it into lofi goodness.

How is litbit different than the millions of other bit crushers? Litbit’s secret power is in its breathe knobs. Bit crushers are great effects – but often the sound can be too static or unmusical. With litbit, the breathe knobs allow the bit/sample rate reduction to follow the audio input. What results is a smooth and dynamic bit crushing effect that breathes along with your audio.

What else does it do?

Well, first of all – the breathing function doesn’t just need to follow its own audio – it can be sidechained to any other audio track – allowing for complex gestures or pulsating crushing effects that dynamically interact with other instruments.

Then of course, theres crinkle. Crinkle is essentially a jitter or randomize function, and it adds a bit of noisy chaos to the bit/sample rate reduction. The speed of the crinkle is controllable and can be set to mono or stereo – which at slow speeds adds a gorgeous stereo sparkle to your sound.

Not noisy enough? There’s a DC Offset button that realigns the signal and gets quiet sections to blow out and crunch a bit more.

Still not noisy enough? There’s an extra noise dial to add some stereo noise to your signal (pre-effect).

To round the whole thing off, we end with a traditional one knob lopass/hipass dj filter and a blown out saturator to help grime up the sound and blast it through your speakers.

The icing on this lofi cake is the gorgeous lissajous display, which draws your sound in real time so you can watch it crunch

Weapons of choice

The E-mu SP-1200 and Akai S950 are two iconic samplers that were widely used by music producers and beat makers in the 1990s. These samplers were popular for their unique sound and features, which made them ideal for creating the gritty, sample-based beats that became synonymous with hip-hop and other genres of electronic music at the time.

The E-mu SP-1200 was first released in 1987 and quickly became a go-to sampler for many producers. It had a limited sample time of only 10 seconds, which meant that producers had to be creative with how they used their samples. This limitation also gave the SP-1200 its unique sound, with a gritty, lo-fi quality that many producers loved.

The Akai S950, which was released a few years later in 1988, was a 12-bit sampler like the SP-1200 but had a more advanced sound processing, thanks to its 48 kHz sampling rate, its 12-bit linear quantization and a much better filtering system, along with a slightly longer sample time.

Iconic in the 1990s, the two machines continue to be revered by many producers and beatmakers today, not only for their unique sound and features but also for the role they played in shaping the sound of hip-hop and electronic music.

Luminous Lo-fi

Step into the retro world of Lo-Fi and far beyond, with Neon Glow, the plugin that infuses any audio with neon-soaked vibes. This sonic sensation, crafted in collaboration with FL Studio ambassador Arcade, conjures a signature vintage feel at the flick of a switch.

With Neon Glow, you’re not just adding effects; you’re immersing your tracks in soaking wet and diffused processing. Bathe your instruments in the distinctive ambience of smoky arcade nights – from warm, hazy pads, to the saturated delays of synths and percussion. But don’t just stop at individual instruments. Neon Glow’s versatility knows no bounds with Build and Wash controls that can send an entire mix into new sonic galaxies.

About Neon Glow

The inner workings of this special plugin are a closely guarded secret, with the controls only hinting at the vast amount of special processing going on under the hood. In real terms, what you need to know is that many of these modules are interlinked, with transformations from one module affecting others in weird and wonderful ways. Inspiring, unusual and always musical; the output from Neon Glow will overhaul individual instruments, vocals, or even your entire mix with characterful transformations that bring Arcade’s own bespoke FX chains into your productions.

Lo-Fi: The central Lo-Fi control remixes your sound with new-retro vibes by using an elaborate network of processors and two extra submodules, Redux and Space. In the final mix, the Lo-Fi parameter controls the mix of Redux and Space as well as its own processors.

Redux: Controls a complex series of filters and bit reduction processors which are part of the Lo-Fi module, to add a digital retro sound to the signal. When set at 0, the effect has a minimal impact on the sound, only audible in specific material. Move the control clockwise or counterclockwise to hear the real magic, introducing bit reduction and filtering, both warmer and cooler, depending on which way you turn the dial.

Space: Neon Glow houses a complicated network of chorus effects as part of the Lo-Fi module, and the Space control is where you’ll introduce these transformations for a unique sense of spaciousness. When set at 0, the effect is a retro multi-chorus chain. Twist the dial counterclockwise to add a more traditional multi-chorus effect. Move the control the opposite way to degrade the signal using the micro delays of the module.

Wash: The Wash fader adds a spatial wash effect with spatial elements, using a configuration of filters, stereo expanders, and psychoacoustically widened diffusion generators. Use the Wash Character dial to change the essential attributes of the Wash effect. A whole rack of effect parameters are altered; from the sense of width, to late reflection values on the diffusion generators. Be sure to experiment with these two controls to give your audio the unique character it deserves.

Build: Neon Glow includes a powerful Build fader, crafted to transform your tracks with sonic tension and release. This effect harnesses a combination of strong filtering, diffusion generators, and psychoacoustically enhanced stereo delays, creating an intensifying wave of energy that builds up to a dramatic climax when pushed hard. The Build Character dial sculpts the essence of this effect, allowing fine-tuning. Explore the versatility of this control, from the gentle saturation of specific frequency bands, to the nuances of the introduced spaciousness.

Input, Output, Bypass, Limiter & More: Click the LIMiter button to limit the output of the plugin. Feed more signal into the plugin by adjusting the input level, resulting in more limiting and a more compressed result. Output level can also be adjusted. The Bypass control is smoothed to be as click and pop free as possible for unhindered comparison testing. Two versions of your settings can be saved and copied with the A / B options, along with undo and redo controls.

Presets: With many included artist-curated presets, it’s easy to find an ideal starting point for expanding and transforming your music. Clearly named, these presets can be applied to many different kinds of audio and include everything from subtle shaping to more complex chains with heavily processed effects.

Production tricks & ideas for creative bit-crushing.

Inspiration

denise wanted to create an adaptable bit-crusher with complete control over its sound. On top of that, denise wanted an extra layer of surprise, joy and an almost instrument-like feeling. The plugin is based on a crazy-sounding bit-crushing algorithm that denise added their push-pull graph technology to, which you might know from the Dragon Fire & God Mode, with tailored FX and clever smoothing to top things off.

This plugin enables you to destroy your audio and make extremely rough and bold sounds by merging the push-pull technique, as well as classic bit reduction and sample reduction functionalities: You don’t need anything more than this plugin to go from a clean bassline to a distorted, screaming monster, or to give your drums the edge they need and create new glitched up and futuristic arrangements.

Features

• Push-Pull Graph – Complete control over the frequencies that are going to be crushed, giving you endless possibilities and new sounds
• Drive – Sometimes less is more, but definitely not with this one. An extra layer of mayhem to make your loops, and sounds, break and scream even more!
• Solo – Solo frequency ranges to audition individual bands.
• Presets – Custom from Florian Meindl are included on top of presets from denise.
• Transparent Clipper – Use it heavily to add extra dirt and saturation.
• Side-Chain Control – Destroy the sound using an external input source.
• Silky Control – Smooth out the bit-crushing sound for more delicate, high-end, rounder and warmer sounds.
• Continuous Reduce & Re-Sample Control – Individually set the bit & sample rate.
• Looper & Stutter – Create extra arrangements, textures and glitches with a host syncing toggle.
• Glitch – An extra ring modulator for all your glitching needs. Perfect to create IDM, transitions and effects.

Electronic music (especially Hip-Hop) producers have long been aware that classic samplers (such as early Akai and E-MU units) had a character and sound all their own: they added a “grit” and “color” to the samples and loops they played back which made them sound “fat” and sit well in a mix. This sound coloration was due to the encoding techniques, lower sample rate and bit depth, and conversion circuits used by these early samplers. Decimort recreates this coloration and adds that vintage sampler magic back to any loop, any bassline, or any sound played through it for that matter! Beyond vintage sampler emulation, it’s also the perfect bit-crusher with filter, capable of extreme settings for dramatic results.

The highest quality low-quality effect you can buy

While this tagline may seem like an oxymoron on the surface, allow us to explain: the Decimort effect unit (available as part of the SilverLine collection of plugins from D16) is a premium grade bit crusher and sample rate reducer with some highly unconventional features. The advanced signal processing algorithms within Decimort simulate the complex behavior of the entire sampling path that exists in every AD/DA converter, and with version 2 comes far greater control over the process! Decimort has zero internal aliasing—in fact, the only aliasing present is the emulated aliasing of the classic samplers we modeled when creating it. Unwelcome artefacts are completely absent in the processed signal: only the desirable, modeled ones remain.

More control than any other effect of this type Decimort isn’t just another bitcrusher with only bit resolution and sampling frequency to tweak; in fact, it provides far more advanced features than you likely could have ever expected from an effect of this kind, all implemented in stunning quality.

Two optional anti-alias filters – A very steep low-pass pre filter (Approximative Filter) coupled with the resampling frequency that removes all harmonic content above it, ensuring no aliasing will appear below this frequency in the spectrum. A further post filter (Image filter), also synchronized with the resampler, gives control over amount of aliasing images appearing above resampling frequency when enabled

Adjustable Jitter – An unprecedented feature in the bit crusher’s world which introduces short-period, random fluctuations to the resampling frequency, thus making the process even more sonically interesting by producing a type of harmonic distortion you’ve likely never heard in this context.

Two quantization methods – Two available quantization methods; the mid-raiser and mid-tread decimation algorithms, each of them characterized by a drastically different dynamics response.

Controllable dithering – Dithering was conceptually developed as means to reduce audible quantization errors by masking the harmonic distortions they cause. We added controllable dithering to increase number of ways in which you can (mal)treat the sound. All this adds up to a very powerful and musical tool which is not only another creativity-releasing item for your arsenal, but one that gives you the ability to emulate classic sampling units in-the-box—now with even greater precision through access to a variety of parameters unavailable up till now in effects of this type!
