One CRUNCH knob for instant bitcrush and lo-fi grit.
Crunchix Raw is the free, one-knob version of Crunchix. Turn the single CRUNCH knob and your sound gets dirtier and more digital, with Auto Gain keeping the level matched so it just gets crunchier, never louder.

One big CRUNCH knob. As you turn it up, Crunchix Raw reduces bit depth (harder digital quantization) and adds sample-rate decimation together for instant lo-fi grit. Auto Gain stays on to keep the output level-matched, so pushing the knob adds dirt without a volume jump. Runs at zero added latency and works on drums, synths, vocals, and full mixes.
