BISCUITING

Mute or invert each of the 8 bits of the digital signal by pressing one of the 8 rectangular switches, to generate strong distortions with an intense digital character. Lower the sample frequency down to 250 Hz for aliasing effects and use the multimode analog filter to get a warm and fat sound. You can mix this 8-bit sound with the direct signal via two separate knobs.

EFFECTS:

Add one of the following 8-bit effects to your bit modifications : Waveshaper, Delay, Pitchshifter, Step Filter Each effect contains one or several parameters to set.

PRESETS :

Save all the BISCUIT functions (bit status, knobs positions, effects and filter settings) to one of its 16 presets. You can also save as many presets as you like on your computer using the Preset Dump function (MIDI SysEx).

MIDI :

BISCUIT is MIDI compatible. Every pot, switch and effects setting can be sent or can be controlled by a continuous controller message (known as CC). BISCUIT accepts MIDI Clock messages to synchronize Delay and Step filter effects. BISCUIT firmware can be upgraded via a MIDI SysEx file.
