Corrupt Interchangeable end-of-chain effect within Data Bender. Corrupt CV input. Range: -5V to 5V Corrupt gate input. Threshold: 0.4V Corrupt Modes Decimate: varying bitcrush & downsampling effects. Dropout: audio dropouts, increasing across the knob. Destroy: soft saturation and hard clipping. DJ Filter: resonant lowpass and highpass filtering.
