Yeah but run a pure sine wave through SRR and I reckon it sounds even better haha
talking of single cycle waveforms, are there like ā¦ the top three recommendations for bass duties? i found a free one that worked pretty well on the Machinedrum years ago, but then i tried another and it kind of worked exactly the same, no difference in sound. So, presumed they all sound the same, but maybe they donāt?
itās actually a really cool way to make tuff bass synths on the Machinedrum
Throw the lfo on it and the single cycle waves start to have an FM-ish vibe to them
Historically, for me, Elektronās Bit Rate and Sample Rate effects have been pretty hard to get sounding nice. I almost never use it on any of my boxes (OT, MM, RYTM), which is weird because itās by far one of my favorite effects otherwise. Maybe iāve been spoiled by the OTO Biscuit.
Yep sticking the Biscuit on the back end of anything that omits noise only makes it sound better (actually wish you could use the filter separately without converting to 8 bit but you canāt have everything in life)
OT but just realised UAD have an OTO Biscuit plugin. Mind blown. Awesome. Going to have a listen
i love UAD and yet steadfastly refuse to think about their software lol. Just gimme the 620 already
I think the BRR sounds pretty good on the demos Iāve heard. I think it is not meant to be used just on itās own but to be filtered down to tame the harsh overtones a bit and to be used in combination with the filter overdrive too.
In the end itās just digital bit reduction. Those algos are dead simple and sound pretty much all the same. They get harsh and unpleasant quick when overdone. Itās certainly not the āone knob to turn the DT into an old, fat, crunchy MPCā kind of thing that some might hope for.
Isnāt bit reduction digital by definition?? No bits or sample rate in the analog realm.
i meant programmed algos. in the OTO biscuit for example it is an actual 8-bit dac that converts the signal so the reduction is actually done in hardware not in software.

Not a fan of it either, small useable range and not too interesting within that range, I also agree that SRR would be (a little) more useful, it could be added so that half of the knob range is BR, centre is none, the other half is SRR, this would also make modulation from a LFO more interesting I think.
Donāt have a DT
Can someone explain why both BR and SRR arenāt possible on the device?
I think itās mostly because there isnāt any sensible spot left to put it on any of the param pages? Agree that SRR would be cool.
Ok thanks
just a guess thoā¦
I mean theoretically, since itās all software, one thing that would be possible was to have swappable effects where e.g. the overdrive or the filter isā¦
Would love to have the BR be able to swap out for something like an analog sounding phaser or a real crunchy distortion.
I personally donāt find it the most inspiring effect. Almost feels like a layer of noise is being added on top of the sample going from dry to wet. The Octatrack had exactly the same effect which I didnāt like it either. I wish they could review this effect to have a bit more bite and crunch, to āgrabā the sample better.
The good thing is that I find everything else in the DT absolutely marvellous. A few more filter types will be welcome but as it is, Love It!!
i use a bitrazer too, but i think theyāre doing a bunch of filtering and formant fx thatās way more than just bit reduction maybe elektron needs to do something like that
I personally find āit can beā a VERY inspiring effect.
stumbled over it the first time in the EX5 which has one of the best SRRs i heard.
For Keyboardplaying at least.
The Lo-Fi FX in the OT ( SRR + BR + Modulation) was in fact one of only three FX of the octatrack that i used.
great Idea above to have a SRR instead of BR but having the BR come in in the last part of the Pots stroke.
