•Create rich, energetic and detailed bitcrushed textures. •Explore a wide range of tones, from refined, graceful characters to glitchy mutilated mayhem. •Animate your tracks with dynamic audio-chopping and expressive modulations. •Enjoy the straightforward, elegant design in your new and powerful bitcrush effect. Control whether the whole signal or a specific frequency range is affected using a Low-Pass, Band-Pass or High-Pass filter. Refine it further with 'Cutoff' and 'Resonance' control. Slash the rate of samples taken from the incoming audio down to 10hz, reduce unwanted sampling errors using the Nyquist filter and refine the sampling shape with the smoothen control. Crush the resolution of the audio down to a single bit, use the range booster to exploit all available bits and structure the chaos using the envelope to shape the original dynamics of the incoming signal. Mangle your tracks into digital disorder; use the Threshold to time the trigger, Time & Num Repeats to shape your repetitions then have them fade away using the Decay. Strike excitement into your productions with Dynabit´s powerful modulation matrix, including 2 LFO´s, 2 Sequencers, 2 Envelope Followers and MIDI control. Dynabit works brilliantly for a variety of styles and genres. From gentle sonic enrichment to digital oblivion, Dynabit comes jam-packed with 50 presets in Basic, Drums, Glitch & Tonal Folders. DynaBit is designed as an AUv3 plugin, meaning it works within iOS and iPadOS hosts such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis 3, AUM and Beatmaker 3.

• Enhances Mix Loudness and Adds Harmonic Warmth • Full-Band and Two-Band Clipper in a Single Plugin • Quick, lightweight, and designed for effortless flexibility! • Precise Visual Metering for Fast Peak Control • Knee Curve Adjustment, from Super Soft to Hard • Shape Control of the Harmonic Profile • Dry/Wet Mix for a Natural, Balanced Sound • Low Latency with Optional Oversampling • Advanced Responsive Design, portrait and landscape views • Universal Purchase: AUv3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone), macOS and Vision Pro FAC Clipper is designed to enhance your mix's loudness and add signature harmonic warmth. While it is based on a similar DSP architecture to the Clip processor in FAC Punchlab, it takes a different approach to clipping control, featuring an advanced user interface with precise metering to track and manage the peaks of the audio signal. The plugin also includes both a full-band clipper that processes the entire spectrum and a multi-band clipper, allowing you to independently clip low, high, or both frequency bands. This provides the flexibility to maintain transparent processing or experiment with creative adjustments, depending on your needs. Built with simplicity and flexibility in mind, FAC Clipper is quick, lightweight, and highly intuitive. The clean, streamlined interface lets you focus on what matters most; controlling the peak levels to maximize loudness while preserving clarity and avoiding the pumping effects often associated with heavily limited signals. Thanks to its precise waveform and level meters, using FAC Clipper is a breeze. Simply add the plugin to your track and adjust the input gain until the waveform meter reaches 0 dB. This gives you a clear view of the signal's dynamic range, making it easier to identify peaks. Next, set the ceiling just below the peaks you wish to control. You can also adjust the Knee parameter for smoother clipping and fine-tune the saturation to achieve the perfect warmth and character. Use the Mix parameter to blend the clipped signal with the original audio, allowing you to control the amount of clipping applied. This helps preserve the natural character of the sound while enhancing loudness and harmonic warmth. This is an AUv3 Effect and requires a compatible host to work The documentation is available at fredantoncorvest.com/FAC_Clipper.html
