Applications

TBK2 is efficient, intuitive and direct - and therefore very simple to use, providing great results with minimal effort, the interface and the options provided makes it easy to achieve a variety of sonic effects including, but not limited to:

- Downsampling of audio to create subtle or not-so-subtle lo-fi effects
- Bitcrushing of transient-rich audio to add emphasis
- General bitcrushing tasks
- Clipping of transient signals to enhance and excite top end energy
- Use combinations of downsampling and bitcrushing to introduce harmonic distortion to fatten bass and other tones

TBK2 also contains a selectable low pass filter, providing more selective control
