Nucleus SoundLab has released Beat Crush, an advanced bit crusher Rack Extension for Reason.
By default Beat Crush adds a subtle 12-bit crunch to samples reminiscent of classic samplers. But it's also extremely flexible - users have access to each individual digital bit to create completely unique custom distortions.
Beat Crush is much more than just a lo-fi effect. Two powerful multi-mode filters are onboard, and can be configured in a huge variety of ways courtesy of a semi-modular architecture. Using these features in combination, users will find easy access to crispy drumbeats, dirty dubstep basslines, creative vocal effects and more.
Beat Crush is available for purchase now from the Propellerhead Shop. The regular price is €52/$65 but until January 16th, 2015, you can get it for just €39/$49.
