Bitcrusher

A straightforward fully stereo bitcrusher effect with extra controls for highpass and lowpass filtering. The amps provide a little make-up gain for the volume loss caused by the filters.



This sketch uses my modified Bitcrusher library LINK . The original bitcrusher object in the Teensy Audio Library would squeel quite painfully at lower bit-depths. My edit takes care of this.


Follow the link above for instructions on how to create the bitcrusher2 library. You need to do this before the sketch will run.


Ao = bit depth, A1 = sample rate, A2 = LPF and A3 = HPF. the footswitch and toggle do nothing in this sketch.
