Summary

Krush by KiTiK is a free spectral crushing audio effect plugin for macOS and Windows, available in AU and VST3 formats. It applies spectral processing to input audio to create digital artifacts and transform sounds with a distinctive, degraded quality.

Features

• Simple interface with a main "crush" knob to control the spectral processing intensity.
• Additional settings including window size, window overlap, gain control, and dry/wet mix knob.
• Spectral processing based on FFT techniques producing effects like whooshing, chirps, sweeping resonances, and MP3-like artifacts.
• Allows blending processed signal with original signal for flexible sound design.
• Designed for creative sound mangling, adding weirdness and edge to sounds, and experimentation.
