Krush
Krush2 is a bitcrusher plugin with bit-depth and sample-rate reduction, drive, filters, LFO modulation, and compression.
About Krush
Krush2 is a bitcrusher audio plugin that combines bit-depth reduction, sample-rate reduction, filtering, and compression. It can be used for subtle texture and density or pushed to aggressive lo-fi distortion. The plugin includes a drive stage, analog-modeled resonant filters, and a modulation section with two stereo LFOs.
Krush2 installs as a separate plugin and does not replace the original Krush, so existing projects are not affected. The Krush2 demo is fully functional, but its audio fades out occasionally. A KrushPro licence unlocks Krush2, or a Krush2 licence can be purchased separately. Krush2 runs on Windows 10/11 with a VST3 host or Pro Tools, and on macOS 10.15 or later (Intel and ARM) with an Audio Units host, a VST3 host, or Pro Tools.
