Hi all,

I am looking for a (vst) bit crushing effect with midi cc control - any pointers would be much appreciated. I am aware of the cubase standard bitcrusher, but there should be something more sophisticated...?

thanks, isdjan

I love soundhack's +decimator VST.
I seem to recall when it came out being "musically-tuned bitcrushing" which it sort of is.

thats for that hint.

p.s.: bit crushing cought my attention just recently, due to excessive (ab)use on the latest depeche mode album

i'd guess they might have used reaktor extensively again?

Ugo metallurgy is a nice one , it's not free (20$) but worth it very much , it has two seperate bitcrusher each in 3 modes. there are another good free bitcrushers which i can't remember their name, especially one with multiband bitcrushing.

HiLofi has a couple that are really nice:

(the later is a ring mod...haven't fooled with that one, but if it's anywhere near as cool as "Multiband Bitcrusher I" it's worth keeping in the toolbox!

I've made a synthedit bitcrusher that does more than just bitcrushing.

www.sourceforge.net/projects/jbmvstdesigns

The plugin is called JBM Lofi and has some other cool features included.

Download it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=154735

many thanks so far - gotta get it sorted. I tried the +decimate and tobybear's so far - while I prefer the 1st one sonicwise, I like the midi CC operation of the tobybear one.

as i mentioned the latest depeche-mode album. anyone could hook me up with a production notes link maybe?

How about a really nice float crusher?

Crazy Ivan has a 'BitMurderer' parameter, and it does mental things to sounds...
