Bit Designer User Manual

Bit Designer is an advanced digital audio effect plugin that allows control over individual bits of the digital audio stream. It contains multiple distortion, filtering, and modulation options including bit activation/inversion, sample rate reduction, threshold distortion, pre/post filtering, an envelope follower, and LFO. The core section gives control over individual bits through options like bit activation, inversion, sample offset, error/swap, and bit-shifting to creatively mangle the audio.
