Rumblit Bit Crusher Effect Rack Extension is a pedal board with 3 distortion units: A bit crusher, multi band distortion, saturation and 2 filter units with 3 different filtering types. The back panel provides CV inputs. The Rack Extension comes with 30 patches.

Please note:
Rumblit Bit Crusher Effect has a built in hard limiter. You can pump up the volume to an insane amount before the master output starts to clip in RMS peak mode. Please be careful to your ears when you change the filters frequency and resonance settings to high values.

Wish you all good luck and fun,

Cool was gonna trial this anyway but even more reason to crack on with the trial now. Are we allowed to use live and rrp like I could in the last comp you ran?

I would provide images, live file and stems if so for any verification.

Yes, you are allowed to use the Reason Rack Plug-in in another DAW.
Screenshot pictures or the Live file are sufficient proof of your work.

Thank you for the confirmation, appreciated

[TritoneAddiction]

The rules are perfect.
I'll give this one a spin.

[TritoneAddiction]

I guess I'll go first.
Here's my entry.

[Oenkenstein]

After all the hard hard work, It is such a joy to hear the entries.

Still 13 days to go until the end of the contest.

Keep them coming!

[Loque]

This is me noodling around with RUMBLIT and creating some interesting tones. This song is out of competition, just for fun.

There are 7 days remaining! Make sure to get your entries finished and submitted in time. Good luck to all contestants.

As a judge, I never listen to the tracks until the submissions are closed. That way earlier tracks don't get an advantage of having grown on me with time and exposure. Since you aren't in the contest (and are also judging), I had a listen to your track, Loque; nicely done; sounds really good.

Thank you. The Saturation and dynamic control of Rumblit is very nice, also the multiple Overdrives create some nice tones.

I am waiting for the listen until end of submission period too to not get biased.

[Oenkenstein]

There are 3 prizes to win. We only received 2 entries so far, but there is still some time left to submit your entries for the song competition.

Woah, i loved this one. great sound and the vocal sample fits perfectly. Tbh I was waiting for a big, booming chorus in the realtive major, but anyways, I enjoyed the ride!

よくできた！

Thank you! ありがとうございます！
I didn't think of the big booming chorus.
For the next one I'll try that.
