Roland Bitrazer Modular Crusher

Roland returns to modular with this range of fx for AIRA, which can also be used with any keyboard or guitar. Roland Bitrazer is an intense bit and sample rate crusher effect that can add edgy character or create total sonic mayhem. Using the large comfortable controls or standard ” patch cables, you can independently control the sample rate, filter type, cutoff, resonance, bit depth, and signal bypass.

Crafted in Japan, Bitrazer has large, ultra-smooth controls with over 16 million steps of resolution and is fully re-programmable via computer, smartphone or tablet.

Roland Bitrazer Modular Crusher Key Features:

• Intense bit and sample rate destruction
• CV/Gate parameter control including sample rate, bit depth, and filter
• Table-top unit or 21 HP Eurorack module using AC or Eurorack power
• 24-bit knobs with over 16 million steps of resolution
• Re-programmable via Mac, PC, iOS, Android application

• 2 inputs and 2 outputs with dual-mono or stereo capability
• AIRA Link compatible
• 24bit/96kHz audio interface

Both the sample rate and filter cutoff parameters have input level controls for adjusting the modulation range when controlled from an external source. Two inputs and two outputs make Bitrazer a stereo-capable, 24bit/96kHz audio interface for Eurorack systems and AIRA Link USB compatibility gives it single-cable, plug and play connectivity with the MX-1 Mix Performer.

While it sounds great out of the box, you can fully customize Bitrazer’s internal signal path by re-patching its array of virtual sub-modules via a custom application that works on Mac and PC as well as iOS and Android devices. Submodules are re-patched through a simple and intuitive drag and drop interface that even lets you choose which parameters are assigned to the high-resolution “GRF”knobs.

You can reprogram Bitrazer in realtime via USB connection or save and recall patches with a simple audio signal. You can even share patches with other Bitrazer users.

Bitrazer includes 15 virtual sub-modules with more available through future expansion:

LFO, ADSR, NOISE, SAMPLE & HOLD, RING MOD, FILTER 6dB, FILTER 12dB, TONE, AMP, MIXER, STEREO MIXER, CURVE CONV, GATE DIVIDER, TRIG TO CV DELAY TIME, MIDI CLOCK TO GATE
