Bit Flipper

Warning

Flipping the most significant bits, or just using the "!" mode, WILL lead to very large DC offsets.

A very simple distortion plugin that performs direct bit manipulation on audio samples, made with nih-plug and Wgpu.

Custom themes support !

(Linux) $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bit_flipper/
(Windows) %APPDATA%\bit_flipper\
(macOS) ~/Library/Application Support/bit_flipper/

• On Linux, this typically resolves to ~/.config/bit_flipper/.
• On Windows, it will use the standard AppData folder.

⚠️ Sandboxed environments (Flatpak, Snap, etc.) may redirect the config directory to a sandbox path. For example, when running inside Flatpak, the textures may be stored under:

/var/app/com.bitwig.BitwigStudio/config/bit_flipper/

Tested on:

• ⣴⠶⣦ Bitwig on Pop!_OS 22.04 🐧
• 🥕 FL Studio on Windows 10 🪟

Note

I honestly thought it would sound more interesting 😭, but no.

It operates in four modes:

• & AND
• ! NOT (doesn't use the bit mask)
• | OR
• ^ XOR

Can it be useful? I guess so? Well, maybe if you're remaking "On Sight" by Kanye. Flipping the first fraction bits can add subtle noise to the sound.
