Mikron Crusher gives you an easy way to add a little of the charm of the samplers from the 80s by reducing bit depth and sample rate. 'Wabi-sabi' as the Japanese call it: a small imperfection will make something much more interesting. Or use it to destroy your sound completely, if that's more your cup of tea. Destruction can be definitively constructive, we would say. The controls are simple, the algorithm behind it isn't.
