CRUSH PACK

Elegant Tonal Destruction

Bite, Dirt, and Freak breathe creative life into iconic effects. Enjoy modern twists on the prized tone of early samplers, the timeless shred of a sophisticated stomp box, dynamic ring modulated sci-fi sounds, futuristic timbres, other-worldly radio broadcasts, and more.

Bite: Instant Street Vibes

Precision bit-crushing: Recreate the prized sonic imperfections that defined hip-hop and dance music’s first golden era, or dial the bits right down to depth-charged extremes.

• Authentic organic crunch of 80s digital sample rate reduction
• Wide sonic palette: From character-adding bite to bit-reduced oblivion
• Auto-input/output compensation, for controlled chaos
• Generate curious and noisy artifacts at low sample rates

Dirt: Stray Into The Red

Organic-sounding distortion, crafted by sound designers. Flexible signal routing, blending, and other carefully crafted parameters allow a level of control not normally associated with distortion units.

• An elegant and broad spectrum of distortion
• Add presence to synths, glue drum busses, decimate guitars, and more
• Wavefolding allows complex, dynamic timbres from simple sources like sine waves
• Controls calibrated for subtle tone-shaping

Freak: Sonic Mutation

Three sound-bending modulation types offer retro radio lo-fi and wild sidechain ability, alongside classic AM, ring mod, and frequency shifting techniques.

• Create detuned horror-style vocals, rich metallic timbres, rhythmic sidechain, and more
• Add a whole universe of noise and inharmonic content to harmonic signals
• Radio mode: Demodulation of signals offers the sound of vintage broadcasts or alien transmissions
• Stereo modulation feature – particularly effective on percussion
