Product Description
- Analog-modelled oscillators At the heart of BIT-2 is the dual oscillator section. Upgraded for BIT-2 13 different waveforms are made up of eight standard shapes comprising square sine triangle half-sine sinesaw SuperSaw SuperSquare and more as well as pink white and tuned noise. The oscillators have been meticulously modelled from a range of vintage synthesizers to deliver an exacting tone that adds the signature flavour of hardware equipment to your mixes. Additionally a drift function is included to simulate pitch drift on vintage equipment with the degradation of parts over time. Plenty of modulation options are available with B.I.T with Oscillator 1 syncable to Oscillator 2 as well as pulse frequency and ring modulation. Both oscillators are also capable of self-modulation via the onboard feedback control serving to add another layer of searing distortion to your tones. Authentic analog-modelled filters and LFOs Comprised of two identical filters with several different routing options BIT-2 lets you dial in the classic filter sounds of revered hardware synthesizers. The signature resonance grit and character can be found in spades in BIT-2 letting you discover how the sounds of your favourite classic dance records were produced. Configurable in either Serial Split Osc (parallel) or Split Noise the signal path of your filters can be tailored to find the perfect sound for your mix. Not content with providing you with several routing options Rob Papen BIT-2 features several different types of filters including two low-pass modes high-pass band-pass notch and comb filtering. Each filter features a switchable cut-off slope from 12 to 24dB/Oct to alter the response and aggression of your tonal shaping. When used in combination with the Q (resonance) control you can achieve a wide range of sounds from subtle tone shaping and removal of excessive lows or highs to extreme filtering with destructive qualities to sharpen the edge of your music. Essential to the sound of vintage hardware synthesizers BIT-2 contains two LFOs to help create your tone. One LFO is dedicated to pitch whilst the second can freely be assigned to the modulation matrix. With six waveforms to choose from multiple modes speed sync and phase controls the freely assignable LFO onboard BIT-2 is capable of anything from subtle thickening to full-blown oscillation. Add exciting evolving tones with the onboard arpeggiator Stepping outside the realm of vintage analog equipment BIT-2 features a 16-step arpeggiator. Updated for version 2 the new modulatable arpeggiator/sequencer features 13 different play modes and a newly-added Magic parameter which lets you alter the playback and the start and end steps in musical and exciting ways for real-time changing patterns. With a full four-octave range and comprehensive control over a wide range of settings including velocity tune slide swing and tie you can create rhythmic synth tones to add movement and energy to your track. Found in many Rob Papen synths BIT-2s arpeggiator also includes a Velocity/Key dial. This special control lets you tell BIT-2 what source to listen to when creating each step either the velocity level within the plug-in or the velocity of your manual keypress on your MIDI keyboard. The onboard modulation matrix can also be assigned to the Free control over your arpeggiator allowing for complex and evolving sequences in your productions. Ideal for live sound designers modulating sources within your arpeggiator can lead to unexpected and unpredictable behaviour keeping your audience engaged with your music for longer. New for BIT-2 is the inclusion of the Ribbon Controller. Rob Papen has seamlessly implemented this control to allow you to adjust multiple parameters simultaneously in an intuitive slider controller. Take control over the dynamic response of your synth with either an external MIDI controller or with your mouse and discover new ways to make the same sounds fresh and exciting. Customise your tone Offering the tools to carve your sonic signature Rob Papens BIT includes several effects to help transform monotonous and dry sounds into exciting and expansive soundscapes. Redesigned for BIT-2 several effects now feature a more dense rich and analog-inspired tone to blend perfectly with the ethos of the plug-in. A phaser and flanger share parameters as do delay and reverb whilst the chorus is provided with its own set of controls. Whilst this may mean you cannot engage all five effects simultaneously the depth of manipulation with each effect is more than enough to add an extra layer of texture to your sound design. Browse save and recall presets A staple amongst Rob Papens virtual instruments and effects are immaculate presets letting you explore the capability of your plug-in instantly. BIT-2 is no different comprising over 950 presets to discover the sound design potential helping you to feel inspired to get creative as soon as your synth is booted up every time. Helping you to find the right sound for your production quickly BIT-2 employs an intuitive folder system each containing up to 256 presets. Each folder offers a different parameter to search for a specific sound with offering Type Tempo/Feel and Timbre search options you will be able to quickly find a sound to audition in your project. Once youve found a sound that resonates with your tastes simply save this to your Favourites folder and recall it in any future session you may need helping to supercharge your workflow in the studio saving time on scrolling through endless lists of presets and instead capturing the lightning in a bottle moment in your sessions.
