Using the Bitrman

Description of Controls

Compress [1]

Turn the [COMPRESS] control clockwise for more compression.

At high settings, you’ll get a lot of sustain, but less dynamic range.

When the control’s all the way up, you’ll find that soft and loud

inputs both come out at almost the same loudness. Depending on

the input signal, you may also hear an increase in noise; but this is

normal for all compressor/limiters with high output gain. As you

turn it down, the loud inputs will still be loud, but the soft inputs

will become softer. Turn [COMPRESS] full counter-clockwise

for no compression at all.

Distort [2]

Turn the [DISTORT] control clockwise for more distortion, and

full counter-clockwise for no distortion at all.

Dual Phasor [3]

The [DUAL PHASOR] control primarily controls the speed of the

phasing effect, from slow to fast. But the full counter-clockwise

position turns the phasing effect off entirely.

Bitrness Knob

See page 27 for complete descriptions of each Bitrness effect.

The [BITRNESS] knob does different things depending on what

Bitrness effect is chosen by the BITRNESS rocker switch.

Mode [BITRNESS] controls:

COM B Frequency of co mb filter (always in pat h).

DEC IMATOR Add s aliasing d istort ion

BIT REDUC ER Dig ital w ord length reduction (clockwise for

more noise, distortio n, and compression )

FM Increases modulation frequency

RIN G MOD Increases the ring mo dulation frequency

FREQ SHIF T Increases the amount of frequency shift
