Some digital processors sound broken.

Bit Decay sounds like they're breaking.

Bit Decay is a creative degradation effect that recreates the character of aging hardware, unstable clocks, failing digital systems, worn media, and collapsing fidelity. Instead of simply reducing bit depth and sample rate, Bit Decay introduces movement, instability, and evolving imperfections that bring static digital destruction to life.

Shape classic lo-fi textures, degraded samplers, damaged tape transfers, corrupted audio artifacts, and entirely new sound design landscapes. From subtle vintage coloration to complete digital collapse, Bit Decay gives you precise control over how pristine audio slowly falls apart.

Whether you're producing electronic music, processing drums, designing cinematic textures, mangling synths, or adding character to vocals, Bit Decay delivers degradation with personality.

Controls:

Crush

Reduces digital resolution and introduces quantization artifacts.

Rate

Reduces effective sample rate for vintage digital character and lo-fi textures.

Tone

Shapes the overall brightness and frequency balance of the degraded signal.

Erode

Increases signal breakdown, corruption, and digital wear.

Drift

Adds slow movement and evolving instability to the degradation process.

Jitter

Introduces timing irregularities and clock-style imperfections.

Glue

Restores cohesion and smoothness to damaged audio while retaining character.

Mix

Blends the processed signal with the original audio.
