Biscuit

BISCUIT add depth, texture and organic behavior to synths, basslines, drum machines and virtual sounds from computers.
By using 8-bit converters, digital processing and analog resonant filters, BISCUIT opens up a wide range of sounds from harsh distortion, digital and aliasing artifacts to warm and fat 8-bit sounds.

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

Der OTO is the new Biscuit firmware (revision 2) and turns your Biscuit into a monophonic synth.
You can play Der OTO with a standard MIDI keyboard, a computer with a MIDI interface or the internal sequencer.
