10. bt.Cr bit crush
This parameter specifies how many least significant bits should be set ("crushed") to 0, assuming a 16-bit (~96db) nominal dynamic range. Loss of bit-depth will become audible for most humans at around 7 or 8 bits of loss. The effect is typically audible as a quintessential "hiss" in quieter parts of an instrument's decay or release stage, and evokes the quintessential sound of early 80s digital drum machines.
Two types of bit crushing can be selected; pre- or post-filter/clip distortion. Negative values are applied pre-filter/distortion (signified by a 'Pr' prefix). Positive values are applied post-filter/distortion (signified by a 'Po' prefix).
For example, to faithfully emulate the sound of vintage digital audio reproduction circuitry, the bit crushing should be performed right after oscillator synthesis and before filtering, effects, dynamics or mixing.
Please note that bit crushing should not be confused with sample rate reduction (for which your Woovebox provides two other settings/methods).
