BITCRUSHER

WAVEFOLDER

The Red Panda Bitmap V2 is a bitcrusher with fractional bit reduction and sample rate modulation. The Bitmap V2 adds waveshaping, wavefolding, and a window comparator for extreme digital distortion. A drive control handles everything from single coil guitars to synthesizers, with +8 dBu maximum signal level and enough gain to sound like an overdriven mixer channel. Modulation and envelope control create dynamic, responsive distortion and digital artifacts. The Bitmap V2 is tuned to provide maximum sustain without sputtering on staccato notes. Less extreme settings add layers of nonlinearities that interact in subtle ways, giving you the warmth and grit of 8- and 12-bit samplers. Sample rate reduction turns your guitar into 8-bit video game sounds or twists scales into inharmonic melodies. Sample rate modulation adds subtle motion or morphs your guitar into entirely new textures. The Red Panda Bitmap works with guitar, bass, synthesizers, drum machines, and other instruments or line level sources.
