Bit Crusher - GFI System SYNESTHESIA Manual

25. Bit Crusher
< Miscellaneous >
Added with firmware update v2.0.0
This algorithm applies fractional bit‐resolution & sample‐rate reduction to the input signal.
Bit‐depth reduction adds warmth and grit, all the way to saturated distortion or dying battery fuzz
sounds at extreme settings.
Reducing the sample‐rate creates inharmonic overtones and aliasing distortion. Subtle reduction
adds sizzle and high‐end buzz, while extreme reduction produces that 8‐bit video game sounds.
P R I M A R Y
[ Speed ] = Frequency
Sets the sampling frequency (rate).
[ Depth ] = Crush
Sets the amount of bit reduction.
[ Tweak ] = Mix
Controls the wet and dry mix.
