Caelum Audio just brought out a very cool new plugin for desktop/iPad, iPhone:
DynaBit
This is a good for raw, glitchy bitcrushed effects, and I also like using it clean, just for the repeater function. It’s definitely somewhat unique, as far as I know, at least on iOS. More info below. Note that the intro pricing runs until February 17th.
My only gripe is that it can be hard to dial in values on some of the knobs accurately, at least on the iOS version, though you can also enter numerical values. Main features:
Filtering & Frequency Control
•Apply bitcrushing to the entire signal or a specific frequency range
•Three filter types: Low-Pass, Band-Pass, and High-Pass
•Controls for Cutoff and Resonance
Bit Reduction & Sample Rate Manipulation
•Reduce sample rate down to 10Hz
•Minimize unwanted artifacts with a Nyquist filter
•Adjust sample shape with the Smoothen control
•Lower bit resolution to as low as 1 bit
•The Range Booster knob is very interesting. This allows for a stepped bitcrush sound while keeping dynamics intact. If the envelope isn’t fully restored, the effect increases sustain by amplifying quieter parts as sounds fade out. After boosting, the “Envelope” control can restore the original dynamics.
Glitchy repeats function
•Threshold, Time, and Num Repeats define repetition behavior
•Decay gradually fades repetitions
Modulation System
•2 LFOs, two sequencers, and two envelope followers
•MIDI control for external automation - this is super cool, allowing modulation from input midi velocity, note or CC values.

@gavinski_s Me too! At 15 I saw Twin Peaks on cable by accident and had no context for it; probably the best way to discover it. Was inspired from then on.

Walkthrough, honest review & Twitter desktop or iOS giveaway:
Atoms by Baby Audio
I just put up a 35-minute deep dive and review of Atoms by Baby Audio on my YouTube channel. That video will be very useful for anyone wanting to understand the app and how its physical modeling works, and will help you decide whether Atoms will meet your needs or not, as Atoms has some strengths but also some weaknesses.
Links to my vid, and purchase links for iOS and desktop are in the tweet below this one. Note that the iOS version is on intro pricing and the desktop version is currently 50% off on Plugin Boutique, link below.

@gavinski_s Love the tones! Just found a way to make internal presets as well, excited to see what the community is going to come up with for this thing. Didn’t think we’d get another one from Waldorf.
