Bitcrusher Drive Block Parameters?

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Just wondering if someone could let me know what the parameters on this will be. I've got a Iron Ether Frantabit bitcrusher pedal on order (as one being added to the Axe-FX seemed unlikely), with a very cool feature set, and was curious if the new block could compete with it.

Every drive model has a bit reducer parameter. The Bit crusher model has the same parameters as all the other drive models.

Ah- when Cliff mentioned adding to to the Drive models, I misunderstood and thought he meant adding a separate block specifically as a bitcrusher effect (which would obviously contain some unique parameters). Good to know my pedal won't be redundant

It is a separate model in the drive blocks as well as a parameter in all the other models.

Am I correct in assuming that the Bit Reduction parameter can have a modifier attached to it?

not at this time.

not at this time.

Not even in the delay block?

What exactly does the bit crusher do?

Subtracts bits from the 24-bit word length of the Axe. As you go beyond 8 bits of reduction, this will start to produce lo-fi effects.

I know this isn't the wish list, but modifier attachment and an additional parameter for sample rate reduction (mod attachment on that as well) would be my wish list for the drive block as of now.

Guess I'll have to hope this gets added in a future firmware update.

 

[javajunkie]

always a possibility.

I hope so. That was my favorite part of the Line6 Lo Rez delay model. Attach the bitrate to an expression pedal and let the strangeness begin.

agreed! just as much fun as bit reduction
