Where to get itAvailable from Kiloheartskilohearts.com
Bitcrush is a distortion plugin that simulates low-quality digital sampling and playback, emulating the sound of lo-fi sources like old video games or degraded analog radio. It reduces sample rate and bit depth to create characteristic digital artifacts and aliasing distortion, with independent control over analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion quality.
