Consider some of the great analog synthesizers of the 1980’s: Roland Jupiter 8, Rhodes Chroma, Elka Synthex, Crumar* Bit One. Well, That last one may not appear on everyone’s list, but for the dwindling number of people who own a Crumar* Bit synth, almost all agree that the sound that comes out of this beast is first class – somewhere between an OB-X and a Synthex; bright & punchy but also rich & eerie Unfortunately, there are a few down sides to this machine – reliability, poor midi spec, missing features and an awkward programming interface are generally the most common grievances. MNX have cast those issues aside with the release of our Bit-100 software emulation of the original Bit One, which combines all of the punchy sound, plus the unique features of the Bit One (such as velocity control of pulse width), with all of the advantages of a software implementation. We’re not aware of any other synth which implements DCOs in quite the same way as the Crumar Bit range. In my opinion, they sound superb. Fortunately, they appear to lend themselves to digital emulation quite well. The Oscillators are complex though, and when combined with our highly refined V2 filter and envelope stages, the result can be heavy CPU usage. Please note that unison mode and oscillator LFO modulation will increase CPU usage considerably, as will long VCA envelope release times
LimitX – unique limiting with NLSRT™, intelligently prevents “overs” while preserving your sound! Snap! – utilizing NLSRT™ to restore dynamics to your tracks, or to samples. Put back the attack! BoostX – uses NLSRT™ for a non-linear fader that brings up the soft sounds more than the loud. Really!
