Bitpunk is a creative bit-manipulation effect plugin from United Plugins that goes far beyond standard bitcrushing. It lets you swap bits between two channels—A and B—to morph, mangle, and degrade audio in unique ways. Channel B can be fed by internal effects like rate reduction, square-wave frequency shifting, syncable delay, and filters, or by an external sidechain input, so you can blend any two sounds through bit-swapping. In Mute mode, you can silence bits in any order for a fresh take on classic crushing. Add master compression, saturation, and hard clipping, and Bitpunk ranges from subtle top-end crunch and low-end enhancement to full-on glitchy destruction. It suits electronic producers, sound designers, and anyone exploring lo-fi, glitch, or experimental textures in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic.
