01Overview

Digitalis is built around digital damage: fizz, grit, dropouts and stuttering repeats. Its three windows cover data manipulation, corruption and time-based effects, and each can be reordered to change the signal flow. A 16-step tempo-synced sequencer with four effect slots lets you automate rhythmic variations. The plugin ships with 98 factory presets that show the range of its effects.

03In depth

Corruption and Bit-Crushing Effects

The Corruption window holds the core degradation tools. The Decimate section offers flexible downsampling, and the dynamic bit-crushing section includes multiple modes for a wide range of digital fizz and grit. The Bitrot section emulates data loss and corruption on old digital media.

These sections work well on drums, synths and full mixes when you want lo-fi texture. Because the modes differ, you can move from subtle crunch to heavy, broken artifacts.

Repeater, Pitch and Sequencing Controls

The Time window centers on a highly adjustable Repeater for tempo-synced or free-floating retrigger and beat-repeat effects. Pitch Shift and Bend controls modulate the repeats, while the Rhythm Glitch and Pitch Glitch controls add chaos to the repeater patterns.

The 16-step sequencer supports four effect slots, so you can build custom modulations and rhythmic variations that stay in sync with your project tempo.
