Documentation on the Bit Crusher effect?

Virtual instruments HALion

While designing some sounds, I came across the “Bit Crusher” effect. I don’t mean the “bit crusher” option of the distortion effect. I mean the stand-alone bit crusher. There is no mention of it in the Halion manual that I can find.

It looks to do some very cool stuff (like turning individual bits on/off). It can make things super-grungy. I can sort of intuit what the controls do, but I’d very much like to read the details.

Is there any documentation of this effect?

Hi,

maybe this helps:

It’s about Steinberg’s bit crusher effect in general.

Thanks for the reply. That seems to describe the same effect. That is helpful.

I hesitate to mark the issue as “solved” since this should be added to the Halion documentation at the next opportunity.

Unfortunately, documentation is not Steinberg’s strong suit. You will find countless threads on this topic all across the forum.

Glad, I could be of help :+1:
