3-Bit

Analog Bit Reducer / VCA

3-BIT is an analog processor that transforms audio waveforms into 9 bipolar levels creating a “digital” stepped waveform.
The levels can be reduced from 9 to 8 to 7... to 0.
The (BIT) slider and cv input step thru the 9 bit levels. Each bit has it's own character as the waveform is reduced to a square wave at level 1.
At level 0 the waveform is off allowing 3-BIT to be used as the worlds grungiest VCA.

The overall gain of the waveform is modulated by the (AM) cv input acting as a smooth VCA .

The IN slider sets the gain into the BIT circuit and allows for selective overdrive of the BIT circuit with a setting above U.

Create raw stepped waveforms with an organic digital character from sine, triangle, or other simple waveforms.
Use with a complex waveforms to add a textured digital character.
