@VincentsVideoVisions soundhack +decimate and d16 decimort are the best ive found with shuriken bittest as the only bit inverter. any others that youre particularly happy with?

@shawnguess If I found one second hand for a really cheap price, I'd definitely pick it up because it does look like a lot of fun, but like I said, the price point is what I have a problem with. The most I'd pay for something like this is maybe $200. I just don't think it's worth more than that. Although the bit reduction plugs might not replicate the Biscuit 100%, they probably get you 90%+ there, not to mention they're probably more flexible. I'd rather have 2 Moogerfoogers!

[shawnguess]

@VincentsVideoVisions fair enough. but be sure to actually try one: i have every bit reduction plug known to man and none of them are close to the biscuit unfortunately. and ive only found one that does bit inversion, per bit. i would LOVE to have a vst that could achieve the same thing, they just dont.

@shawnguess I have not used one, but I think that bit reducers are not the most versatile of effects.I think it's a cool bit of gear, but for the price? No way. I'm only willing to spend that much money on something analog, or at least useful. For digital effects like bit reduction, I could easily replicate the same sound with vst's i have. I'm a hardware guy though, so I know that dedicated units are great. I don't lack sonic vision, I just think this is overpriced for what it does.

@VincentsVideoVisions such a statement shows that you have either never used one or dont have much sonic vision. i have used the biscuit in productions from pop to r&b to rap to metal

[VincentsVideoVisions]

overpriced toy... for the same amount of money i could buy something so much more useful and better sounding

@maccagrabme But, on any bitcrusher I have ever seen, VST or not, you cannot control separate bits like on the Biscuit

[astroboomboy]

@maccagrabme yeah, but most vsts don't sound as good (imo), and running hardware like this live is much more stable, software always has the potential to crash. Just my 2 cents.

@maccagrabme well... for sure you will be able of doing the same with a VST synth than with an alesis micron or a korg microkorg... but that is getting into the longtime disscussion about hardware vs software... if you feel comfortable with software, lucky you, you wont spend halve the cash i will spend on gear

[maccagrabme]

@mynmyself Surely I can do the same thing using a vst saturation plugin or filter?
