Recreate iconic lo-fi sound
SSL Digicrush is your gateway to the unmistakable charm of early digital audio. With features like adjustable bit depth and sample rate reduction, you can authentically mimic the grit of vintage samplers. The plugin’s versatility allows you to experiment with a wide range of lo-fi effects, from subtle warmth to dramatic degradation, making it a powerful tool for recreating the textures of genres like Jungle, Hip-Hop, and Electronica.
Its intuitive interface makes it easy to capture the essence of classic digital music equipment while working seamlessly in modern DAWs. Whether you're aiming for nostalgia or exploring new sonic territory, Digicrush has you covered.
Add unique harmonic distortion with Jitter
The Jitter control sets SSL Digicrush apart by introducing random variations in the sample rate. This feature creates an organic, unpredictable quality, adding harmonic depth and dynamic interest to your tracks. Lower Jitter values keep your sound tight, while higher settings bring chaotic, evolving textures that breathe life into your mixes.
It’s especially effective for creating warped, moving effects on percussive elements or subtly enhancing tonal layers in melodic compositions, offering endless creative possibilities for sound designers and producers alike.
Custom bit modes for detailed sound shaping
Explore vast tonal possibilities with SSL Digicrush’s bit mode selector. Each mode alters how the bit depth reduction interacts with your signal, offering distinct styles of distortion. Whether you need the grit of 12-bit for Boom Bap drums, the crushed clarity of 8-bit for retro game-inspired soundtracks, or a noisier texture for experimental productions, the bit modes let you shape your sound precisely. Combined with the adjustable bit depth, this feature ensures you can craft intricate, dynamic effects that elevate your tracks with professional-quality lo-fi character.
Refine your sound with anti-aliasing filters
For producers who want detailed control over their output, Digicrush’s anti-aliasing and anti-imaging filters provide essential tools to refine your sound. These filters smooth the harsh edges introduced by downsampling and reduce unwanted artefacts, giving you cleaner, punchier results without losing the lo-fi aesthetic.
Whether you’re enhancing synths, tweaking vocals, or crushing beats, these filters let you fine-tune the balance between gritty and polished, offering ultimate control over the final tone of your production.
