New Source Audio pedal - ARTIFAKT Lo-fi Elements

[Quatschmacher]

The clue is in the number of strawberries/cherries and their arrangement. It’s a very good hint.

Ooh... bitcrusher?

Yeah, that’s what I thought too until this came along. It has already replaced a staple from my “board”. 

 

It's a stapler ! Yesssssss !

Is it a screw?

Nailed it.

Screw press? Strawberry and cherry juice?

Would need a blend knob.

The fruits are laid out to represent the Bit rate? I know very little of bit crushers other then the OTO biscuit plug in I messed with and that’s all I can come up with.

Yes:

 

24Bit

16 Bit

8 Bit

4 Bit

2 Bit

1 Bit

 

Obviously it could mean something else, but a bit crusher seems obvious.

 

Also Bits are not measured in Rate, that is Sample Rate, but in Depth.

 

Usually you will have a parameter for controlling Sample Rate too though on a bit crusher.

Almost; the strawberries are in a binary sequence (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32); the cherries are also in a binary sequence but obviously have some bits missing…

One more sleep...

 

Must be pretty entertaining for @Quatschmacher to watch our speculation while he incubates the new egg!

[ahpook]

I'll throw my hat in the ring and say something pitchshifter/octaver-y

 

Just to add to the drama a bit.

Indeed. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it today, especially now a bunch of bugs I found have been squashed.

 

Also been tweaking my factory patch to add in some more stuff now that certain functions are working. Unfortunately it’s too late to include the additions as some descriptive literature has already been done, however, I’ll upload it to Neuro as soon as the pedal is active on there.  

 

Can’t wait to share a few clips tomorrow.

This is like the  'Ask the Family' picture round

 

I can almost hear Robert Robinson saying "Would that it were...would that it were..."

[tauzero]

Tape saturation emulator?

[Daz39]

Finally: it makes toast!

[krispn]

It’s a Grateful Dead emulator pedal. 

[LukeFRC]

Space echo up to Low-fi tape saturation, with an envelope filter like filter like the shallow water … that’s my guess 

[Homatron]

And of course, the closest guess gets a free one... right? 😜

[krispn]

If I knew any grateful dead there might be a clue in some of the sounds they get but I’m completely ignorant to them.

Seeing all those 'Dead Tapes', you might be on to something...

shakedown street has a very distinctive envelope filter on the lead.

I now believe this might be the closest bet yet.

 

But what do I know...
