W.A Production are offering 83% off the Bitpunk by United Plugins and the W.A Production Synthpunk expansion pack for Bitpunk as a bundle for a limited time, now only $21.00, value $116.90. The offer ends July 20th.
Bitpunk is an advanced bit-swapping engine that takes two source channels (A and B) and ruthlessly rips the bits from one to another to manipulate them in various vicious-sounding ways, with audio damage limitation being far from its intended audio remit as a punk attitude-pushing powerful and versatile digital degradation effect plug-in like no other… one which can, nevertheless, go from subtle sonic magic to all-out degradation, deformation, and destruction.
Bitpunk is an extremely powerful and versatile digital degradation effect. It can manipulate bits in various ways, such as bit swapping, classic bit crushing, bit inverting, and bit morphing. With a host of bit-mangling FX and master compression, saturation and hard clipper, it is probably the most advanced bit plugin to date.
Bitpunk can subtly enrich your sound in various ways. Add top-end crunch with some bit-crushing and rate reduction, smooth it out with the filters, beef up the low end with feedback, and then compress and saturate for ultimate enhancement. Or go hard by smashing the life out of the bits, deforming them with frequency shifting and glitch FX, then overdrive everything through aggressive compression and hard clipping. Bitpunk can go from subtle sonic magic to all-out degradation, deformation and destruction.
The main focus of the plugin is to swap bits from two channels, A and B. For the bit-swapping to have an effect, the two channels must be different in some way. We provide many ways to achieve this with A and B FX, which sound great in their own right and downright dirty when bit-swapped. They include a rate reducer, square-wave frequency shifter, syncable delay, high-pass & low-pass filters and more.
When in Mute mode, Bitpunk allows you to swap bits from the input with silenced bits for the classic bit-crushing effect. Standard bit crushers, silence the bits starting from highest to lowest, however here you can mute them in any order you wish for a modern twist on a classic effect.
Bitpunk has a side-chain input that lets you route any audio into the B channel. You can then swap bits between the two signals allowing you to smoothly morph between two sound sources in very unique ways. Additionally, you could use the sidechain to duplicate the input signal and use external FX to create the differences between the two channels.
After you have finished deforming and degrading your audio with the bit FX, you can treat the sound to some enhancements to finalize the sound. There is an aggressive compressor, soft clipping diode saturation, high-pass & low-pass filters and a hard clipper. Use them to tame harshness, fatten the sound, or overdrive it into oblivion, then blend the overall effect with the master Dry/Wet mix.
The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don’t get any clicks or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.
This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all to save the computing sources for other processes.
Bitpunk is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX).
