These elements combine to offer a range of sounds—from classic digital degradation to warm, textured sonic effects. Its analog-modeled low-pass and high-pass filters allow you to sculpt your output with precision, ensuring that even the dirtiest effects maintain a level of warmth and musicality. The modulation section sets Krush apart, allowing you to breathe life into any parameter with tempo-synced modulation or free-flowing waveforms.
