6.5.12. Bitcrusher
A bitcrusher does exactly what it sounds like: it crushes bits! Technically, it can reduce
both the bit depth and the sample rate of the signal. Bit depth (e.g. 16-bit vs. 8-bit) deals
with differences in volume; sample rate (e.g. 44,100 kHz, like a CD) deals with frequency
response. When musicians talk about the "lo-fi" sound of vintage samplers, game consoles,
or computers, they're talking about bitcrushing.
