Distortion, Wavefolder, A/D Converter

BTFLD (Bit Fold) is a distortion, wavefolder, and four bit asynchronous analog to digital converter. The folding output at audio rate provides a hard sync like timbre in a unique sawtooth wavefolder circuit.

The stepped output is a type of bit crushed effect and the square wave outputs provide different frequency multiplications or distortions.

Rhythms can also be generated by putting envelopes or LFOs into the input and using the bit outputs as gates.

It can also be paired with the rest of our four bit binary system (Nibbler, BTMX) for experiments in four bit computing and unusual logic based patching.
